The safety and efficacy of blinatumomab, a CD3/CD19-directed bispecific molecule, were examined in an open-label, single-arm, expanded access study (RIALTO).

Abstract

The safety and efficacy of blinatumomab, a CD3/CD19-directed bispecific molecule, were examined in an open-label, single-arm, expanded access study (RIALTO). Children (.28 days and, 18 years) with CD191 relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL) received up to 5 cycles of blinatumomab by continuous infusion (cycle: 4 weeks on/2 weeks off). The primary end point was incidence of adverse events. Secondary end points included complete response (CR) and measurable residual disease (MRD) response within the first 2 cycles and relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) after treatment. At final data cutoff (10 January 2020), 110 patients were enrolled (median age, 8.5 years; 88% had ≥5% baseline blasts). A low incidence of grade 3 or 4 cytokine release syndrome (n = 2; 1.8%) and neurologic events (n = 4; 3.6%) was reported; no blinatumomab-related fatal adverse events were recorded. The probability of response was not affected by the presence of cytogenetic/molecular abnormalities. Median OS was 14.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 11.0-not estimable) and was significantly better for MRD responders vs MRD nonresponders (not estimable vs 9.3; hazard ratio, 0.18; 95% CI: 0.08-0.39). Of patients achieving CR after 2 cycles, 73.5% (95% CI: 61.4%- 83.5%) proceeded to alloHSCT. One-year OS probability was higher for patients who received alloHSCT vs without alloHSCT after blinatumomab (87% vs 29%). These findings support the use of blinatumomab as a safe and efficacious treatment of pediatric R/R B-ALL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02187354.
