Background: Blinatumomab is a CD3/CD19-directed bispecific T-cell engager molecule that engages T cells to lyse CD19-expressing B cells. Based on a multicenter, open-label, phase 3, randomized clinical trial (Clinical Trials ID: NCT02393859), we aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness (CE) of blinatumomab compared to standard consolidation chemotherapy (SC) for the treatment of pediatric patients with high-risk first-relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) from a Mexico healthcare payer perspective.

Methods: A decision-analytic model, a partitioned survival model, was used to estimate the life-years (LYs) and costs over a lifetime horizon.

Our study highlights the discovery of recurrent copy number alterations in noncoding regions, specifically blood enhancer cluster (BENC-CNA), in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cell lines. We demonstrate that BENC-CNA acts as a super-enhancer, driving MYC expression and possibly contributing to the immortalization and proliferative advantage of BCP-ALL cells in vitro.

Evaluation of next-generation sequencing for measurable residual disease monitoring in three major fusion transcript subtypes of B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has been gaining traction. This study aimed to investigate the utility of NGS in MRD monitoring for the three major fusion transcript (FT) subtypes of B-precursor ALL (B-ALL). The MRD results for 104 bone marrow samples from 56 patients were analysed through NGS and real time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) for the three major FTs: BCR::ABL1, TCF3::PBX1, and ETV6::RUNX1.

EP300-ZNF384 transactivates IL3RA to promote the progression of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Department of Hematology, Liaoning Medical Center for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, 116027, China.

The EP300-ZNF384 fusion gene is an oncogenic driver in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). In the present study, we demonstrated that EP300-ZNF384 substantially induces the transcription of IL3RA and the expression of IL3Rα (CD123) on B-ALL cell membranes. Interleukin 3 (IL-3) supplementation promotes the proliferation of EP300-ZNF348-positive B-ALL cells by activating STAT5.

Background: Flow cytometry plays is important in the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and when antigen-specific immunotherapy is indicated. We have investigated the effects of prednisolone, vincristine, daunorubicin, asparaginase and methotrexate on the antigen expression on blast cells that could influence the planning of antigen-specific therapy as well as risk-based treatment assignment.

Patients And Methods: Patients aged ≤ 17 years with B-cell ALL (B-ALL) were enrolled in the study.
