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.

An 82-year-old man with Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) complicated by hepatocarcinoma was presented. Remission induction therapy of hyper-CVAD with half dose reduction achieved hematological complete remission (CR), but accompanied with elevated alanine aminotransferase and hyperbilirubinemia. The patient was thought intolerable for hyper-CVAD with half dose reduction due to liver toxicity, and treatment was switched to blinatumomab.

The integration of immune and targeted therapies into the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has significantly improved outcomes, reduced the intensity and duration of chemotherapy, and the reliance on allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). In younger patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative ALL, treatment with Hyper-CVAD and blinatumomab +/- inotuzumab has improved the 3-year overall survival (OS) to above 85%. In older patients, using less intensive chemotherapy (mini-Hyper-CVD) in combination with inotuzumab and blinatumomab has improved the 5-year OS rate to 50%.

Combination chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The Hyper-CVAD regimen was developed in 1992 at MD Anderson Cancer Center and has since become a standard of care option for adult patients with ALL. Since its conception, a number of modifications have been implemented to customize the regimen for different patient populations and safely incorporate novel therapies without compromising tolerability.

Background: Blinatumomab is effective in relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphocytic leukaemia and results in high rates of minimal residual disease negativity. We aimed to establish whether the incorporation of blinatumomab into front-line therapy for acute lymphocytic leukaemia could improve outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a single-arm, phase 2 trial at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX, USA).
