JCO In this analysis, we update our experience with the chemotherapy-free regimen of blinatumomab and ponatinib in 60 patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive ALL. At a median follow-up of 24 months, the complete molecular response rate by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was 83% (67% at the end of course one), and the rate of measurable residual disease negativity by next-generation clono-sequencing was 98% (45% at the end of course one). Only two patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
