Adding inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) to hyper-CVAD and blinatumomab may improve outcomes in newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Patients with newly diagnosed B-ALL received up to four cycles of hyper-CVAD followed by four cycles of blinatumomab. Beginning with patient #39, InO 0.

Herein, the authors update their long-term results with the regimen of ATO-ATRA and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in standard-risk and high-risk APL.
Methods: This was a phase 2 trial of patients with newly diagnosed APL.
Deuterated ("heavy") water labeling in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) demonstrates that IGHV unmutated and ZAP-70+ patients have higher blood and tissue CLL death rates on ibrutinib therapy, resulting in lower measurable residual disease levels with long-term ibrutinib treatment. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.

We report the long-term follow-up of the phase 2 trial of HyperCVAD with nelarabine and pegylated asparaginase (Original cohort). In the latest protocol iteration venetoclax was added to the induction/consolidation regimen (Venetoclax cohort).
