Exclusion Criteria:

Disease Related

• Current infiltration of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by ALL. If screening CSF demonstrates leukemic blasts, participants must receive intrathecal treatment and demonstrate negative CSF before enrollment and starting blinatumomab infusion.

Other Medical Conditions

• History of relevant central nervous system (CNS) pathology or current relevant CNS pathology (e.g., seizure, paresis, aphasia, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, severe brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, psychosis, or coordination or movement disorders).
• Current autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease with potential CNS involvement.
• Active uncontrolled infection requiring therapy.

• History of other malignancy within the past 3 years, with the following exceptions:

  • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years before enrollment and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician.
  • Adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease.
  • Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
  • Adequately treated breast ductal carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
  • Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia without evidence of prostate cancer.
  • Adequately treated urothelial papillary noninvasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ.

Prior/Concomitant Therapy

• Systemic cancer chemotherapy within 2 weeks prior to study treatment (except for intrathecal prophylaxis)
• Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic infection with hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus. In Japan, follow the JSH Guidelines for the Management of Hepatitis B Virus Infection version 4 (The Japan Society of Hepatology, 2022) for the screening of Hepatis B virus infection.
• Radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to study treatment.

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience

• Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(ies). This does not apply to other investigational procedures or participation in observational research studies while participating in this study are excluded.

Other Exclusions

• Participants of childbearing potential unwilling to use protocol-specified method of contraception during treatment and for an additional 48 hours after the last dose of blinatumomab.
• Participants who are breastfeeding or who plan to breastfeed while on study through 48 hours after the last dose of blinatumomab.
• Participants planning to become pregnant or donate eggs while on study through 48 hours after the last dose of blinatumomab.
• Participants of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening by a highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test.
• Participant has known hypersensitivity to blinatumomab or to any component of the product formulation.
• Participant likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (e.g., Clinical Outcome Assessments) to the best of the participant and investigator's knowledge.
• History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease (except for those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician, if consulted, would pose a risk to participant safety, or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs and Treatment-related TEAEs	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant irrespective of a causal relationship with the trial treatment. TEAEs are any events that occurred after the participant received trial treatment. A serious TEAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that: was immediately life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was any other medically important serious event. Treatment-related TEAEs were any AEs that could be considered attributable to the trial treatment.	From first dose until 33 days after last dose of trial; median (min,max) overall duration was 107.4 (41.2, 190.2) days
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events of Interest (EOI)	An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant irrespective of a causal relationship with the trial treatment. TEAEs were any events that occurred after the participant received trial treatment.	From first dose until 33 days after last dose of trial; median (min,max) overall duration was 107.4 (41.2, 190.2) days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Steady-state Concentration (Css) of Blinatumomab	Cycle 1: Day 1 pre-dose, 2 and 6 hours post-dose on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 29; Cycle 2: Day 1 pre-dose, and Days 2 and 29; Cycles 3 and 4: Day 1 pre-dose, and Day 29
Clearance (CL) of Blinatumomab	Cycle 1: Day 1 pre-dose, 2 and 6 hours post-dose on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 29; Cycle 2: Day 1 pre-dose, and Days 2 and 29; Cycles 3 and 4: Day 1 pre-dose, and Day 29
Number of Participants Achieving Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) After Each Cycle of Blinatumomab	Cycles 1-4: Day 29 (each cycle is 42 days)
Number of Participants Achieving Hematologic CR	Cycles 1-4: Day 29 (each cycle is 42 days)
Number of Participants Achieving Hematologic CR With Partial Peripheral Count Recovery (CRh)	Cycles 1-4: Day 29 (each cycle is 42 days)

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

• Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?: YES
• IPD Plan Description: De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request.
• IPD Sharing Time Frame: Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.
• IPD Sharing Access Criteria: Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.
