Abstract
- Simple Summary Blinatumomab, a bispecific T-cell engager, binding T-cell CD3 and B-cell CD19 antigens, has remarkably enlarged the treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r BCP-ALL). The aim of our study was to retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy profile of blinatumomab in 39 r/r ALL children treated in seven AIEOP centers in a compassionate or off-label program. This report is among the largest multicentric real-life retrospective analyses on blinatumomab in pediatric r/r BCP ALL. Blinatumomab showed a tolerable safety profile (34.8% of adverse events ≥grade 3, no cytokine release syndrome and no associated toxic deaths) and proved to be very effective (complete remission rate 46% in the 13 patients with ≥5% blasts and 81% PCR/FC MRD negativity in the 26 patients with
