| Abstract: |
Blinatumomab and inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) are both active in relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and improve outcomes compared with conventional chemotherapy in this setting. Several prospective clinical trials have explored the use of these agents in adults with newly diagnosed B-cell ALL, with promising outcomes observed in younger and older adults and in both Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive and Ph-negative ALL. These novel regimens result in high rates of deep measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity and may improve survival compared with chemotherapy-only approaches, allowing for less reliance on intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This review discusses novel approaches to integrating INO and/or blinatumomab into frontline ALL regimens, including the potential role of chemotherapy-free regimens in some subgroups. The role of MRD monitoring is also discussed, including how this can inform decisions for consolidative allogeneic HSCT or investigational approaches with CD19 CAR T-cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
