Summary
Brief summary
B-precursor ALL is an aggressive malignant disease. Therapy is usually stratified according
to risk characteristics to ensure that appropriate treatment is administered to patients with
high-risk of relapse. In general, pediatric treatment regimens are more intense than those
employed in adults and include courses of combination chemotherapy. Standard of care
chemotherapy is associated with considerable toxicity. There is a lack of novel treatment
options for subjects who relapse or are refractory to treatment. Therefore, innovative
therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Blinatumomab is a bispecific single-chain
antibody construct designed to link B cells and T cells resulting in T cell activation and a
cytotoxic T cell response against CD19 expressing cells. This study will evaluate the
event-free survival (EFS) after treatment with blinatumomab when compared to standard of care
(SOC) chemotherapy. The effect of blinatumomab on overall survival and reduction of minimal
residual disease compared to SOC chemotherapy will also be investigated.
