    Review, Journal:  Evaluating Blinatumomab for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory ALL: Design, Development, and Place in Therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 14, 2020   
    Although blinatumomab has changed the therapeutic landscape for adults with R/R B-ALL, a number of important clinical considerations and questions remain, including the potential role of blinatumomab in the frontline setting, mechanisms of resistance, optimal goal MRD level, the role of transplant following MRD clearance, the optimal place for blinatumomab in the context of other recently approved immune-mediated therapies, and real world outcomes for patients treated outside the context of clinical trials. These issues are the focus of ongoing studies, which will hopefully inform future clinical practice regarding the utility of blinatumomab in the treatment of B-ALL patients.

    A chemotherapy-free induction and consolidation first-line treatment with dasatinib and blinatumomab that was based on a targeted and immunotherapeutic strategy was associated with high incidences of molecular response and survival and few toxic effects of grade 3 or higher in adults with Ph-positive ALL. (Funded by Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro and others; GIMEMA LAL2116 D-ALBA EudraCT number, 2016-001083-11; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02744768.).

    [VIRTUAL] Predictive Model of Response to Blinatumomab Therapy in Children and Adults with Relapsed/Refractory B-ALL () -  Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_4999;    
    Based on the model high probability of response in case of short time to next line of therapy is observed only for adult patients with low-to-moderate blast count, while in patients with long time to next line of therapy broader patient population has a high probability of response, including young children and patients with high blast count. Verification of this model in a larger multicenter study is required to confirm this hypothesis.

    [VIRTUAL] Phase II Study of Blinatumomab and Concurrent Oral Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy As Consolidation and Maintenance Therapy for Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Following Chemotherapy-Sparing Induction (Poster Hall (Virtual Meeting)) -  Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_3637;

    Others have previously reported rates of morphologic complete response (mCR) approaching 100% among adults w/ Ph+ ALL treated w/ corticosteroids (CS) and dasatinib (DAS) alone as induction therapy, but w/ low rates of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity by flow cytometry (FACS) and BCR-ABL1 PCR (complete molecular response, CMR) and high rates of relapse in the absence of further consolidation.The bispecific T-cell engager blinatumomab (BLIN) has considerable efficacy in clearing MRD in patients (pts) w/ Ph- B-cell ALL...The ongoing D-ALBA study (GIMEMA LAL2116) is also investigating BLIN + DAS consolidation following 12 weeks of induction (prednisone + DAS followed by DAS), w/out protocol-specified maintenance, and has demonstrated preliminary evidence of efficacy (Chiaretti et al., ASH Meeting, 2019)...Pts are eligible if they are ≥18 years-old w/ Ph+ ALL confirmed by cytogenetic or molecular studies, ECOG performance status 0-2, w/out prior therapy for ALL beyond CS, hydroxyurea, or intrathecal chemotherapy, w/out known active extramedullary disease and/or CNS-3 disease, and w/ appropriate organ function.See Figure 1: pts will receive a CS pre-phase (days [d] -6 – 0) followed by modified GIMEMA LAL1205 induction (dexamethasone [DEX] 10 mg/m2 [max 24 mg/d], d1-24, tapered off d25-32) + DAS 140 mg/d (dose adjustments or TKI change permitted per protocol) w/ intrathecal methotrexate (IT MTX) d22, 43 and bone marrow (BM) assessments including FACS and BCR-ABL1 PCR...If ≥ 3 of the first 10 pts achieve CMR we will continue enrollment to max 17 pts. If ≥ 6 pts achieve CMR, then BLIN + TKI will be considered promising for further investigation.The investigators are hopeful this study will add to the currently limited prospective data supporting TKI + BLIN consolidation/maintenance for pts w/ Ph+ ALL and efforts to develop chemotherapy-sparing and immunotherapeutic strategies for older pts w/ ALL.

    [VIRTUAL] Evaluating Outcomes of Adult Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated on the GMALL Protocol (Poster Hall (Virtual Meeting)) -  Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_1962;    
    Conclusions While results are improving for patients treated on GMALL, a substantial patient segment still experiences relapse. It is conceivable that in the near future new novel therapeutic modalities for adult ALL involving the use of monoclonal antibodies and CAR-T cell therapy will help reduce relapse rates and further improve the current outcomes of patients treated on the GMALL protocol.

    [VIRTUAL] Pre-CAR Blinatumomab Is Associated with Increased Post-CD19 CAR Relapse and Decreased Event Free Survival (Channel 19 (Virtual Meeting)) -  Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_1610;    
    While blina non-response did not preclude CD19 CAR response, blina non-responders had lower remission rates to CD19 CAR and a cohort of patients were refractory to both, potentially suggesting resistance to immunotherapeutic CD19 targeting. Additionally, we found that blina may impact CD19 expression, which could subsequently affect response and relapse.

    [VIRTUAL] Superior Event-Free Survival with Blinatumomab Versus Chemotherapy in Children with High-Risk First Relapse of B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Randomized, Controlled Phase 3 Trial (Channel 19 (Virtual Meeting)) -  Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_1609;    
    Children with M1 (< 5% blasts) or M2 (< 25% and ≥ 5% blasts) marrow were randomized 1:1 after induction therapy and cycles of HC1 and HC2 chemotherapy, administered according to the IntReALL HR 2010, ALL-REZ BFM 2002, ALL R3, COOPRALL, and AIEOP ALL REC 2003 protocols, to receive a third consolidation course with blinatumomab (15 µg/m2/day for 4 weeks) or HC3 (dexamethasone, vincristine, daunorubicin, methotrexate, ifosfamide, PEG-asparaginase); intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate/cytarabine/prednisolone) was administered before treatment. Blinatumomab monotherapy as consolidation therapy before alloHSCT in children with HR first-relapse BCP-ALL leads to significantly better EFS, lower risk of recurrence, and fewer grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent AEs vs HC3, suggesting a new standard‑of-care treatment for these patients.

    [VIRTUAL] Obesity Attenuates T-Cell Function Which Impacts the Efficacy of T-Cell Based Immunotherapies in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Poster Hall (Virtual Meeting)) -  Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_782;    
    In contrast, we found that ACM significantly compromised the efficacy Blinatumomab with only 30% of B-ALL cells being killed over 3 days when co-cultured with human T-cells. Our pre-clinical data highlights the negative impact of an adipose-rich microenvironment on T-cell function and B-ALL immunogenicity, which subsequently compromises the efficacy of multiple classes of immunotherapies targeting CD19.
