Comparison of preclinical efficacy between CD19 CAR-T and CD3 (Exhibit Hall B) - Sep 27, 2023 - Abstract #SITC2023SITC_658; Conclusions Both CD19 CAR-T and Blinatumomab demonstrated a similar in vitro tumor suppressive effect and an initial in vivo response rate. However, CAR-T showcased a greater advantage in maintaining remission due to their more sustained pharmacokinetics and better in vivo proliferation capacity.

Introduction Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was historically associated with poor outcomes when treated with chemotherapy followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT).1 Four different BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been combined with chemotherapy in patients with Ph-positive ALL, leading to improved outcomes: imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, and ponatinib...Future studies combining asciminib or olverembatinib with blinatumomab in the frontline setting are warranted...These strategies have reduced the incidence of toxicities and mitigated the need for ASCT. The incorporation of NGS for the detection of MRD can help select patients who may be candidates for TKI discontinuation.
