2827 Chemotherapy-Free Combination of Blinatumomab and Ponatinib in Adults with Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Updates from a Phase II TrialClinically Relevant Abstract
Excerpt:The chemotherapy-free combination of blinatumomab and ponatinib is safe and effective in newly diagnosed Ph-positive ALL, with high rates of MRD negativity. Encouraging duration of remission and OS has been observed without the need for HSCT.

Title:
Subgroup analysis from a phase II trial of ponatinib and blinatumomab in relapsed/refractory (R/R) Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myeloid leukemia in lymphoid blast phase.
Excerpt:In this phase II trial, pts with R/R Ph+ ALL or CML-LBP received up to 5 cycles of blinatumomab. Pts received ponatinib 30mg daily....Among the 14 pts with R/R Ph+ ALL, the rate of CR/CRi was 92% (12 of 13 evaluable pts), with CR in 11 (85%) pts. MMR was achieved in 86% and CMR in 79%....The estimated 2-year EFS and OS for the R/R cohort were 50% and 64%, respectively….The combination of ponatinib and blinatumomab is an effective and well-tolerated chemotherapy-free regimen for pts with R/R Ph+ ALL.

Title:
A phase II trial of ponatinib and blinatumomab in adults with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).
Excerpt:In this phase II study, patients (pts) with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL received up to 5 cycles of blinatumomab in combination with ponatinib, followed by ponatinib maintenance for at least 5 years….Among 35 pts evaluable for hematologic response, 23 (97%) achieved CR/CRi; 1 pt had early death. Among 48 pts evaluable for molecular response, 34 (71%) achieved CMR after 1 cycle, and 43 (90%) achieved CMR at any time....There have been no leukemia-related deaths, the estimated 2-year EFS and OS are both 90%....The chemotherapy-free combination of ponatinib and blinatumomab is safe and effective in newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL...

Title:
Low-intensity chemotherapy (mini-HCVD) and ponatinib followed by blinatumomab (blina) and ponatinib for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL): A phase II study.
Excerpt:Pts with newly diagnosed (ND) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) Ph+ ALL... were eligible. Mini-HCVD alternating with methotrexate (MTX)/cytarabine were given on Cycles(C) 1-4, followed by blina/ponatinib....All evaluable pts achieved CR….With a median follow-up of 28 months (range, 6-37), the 2-year continuous remission duration and OS rates were 93% and 82% in the entire cohort, and 90% and 82% in the ND cohort, respectively….In Ph+ ALL, the sequential combination of mini-HCVD/ponatinib followed by blina/ponatinib resulted in high rates of CMR, encouraging survival, and had an acceptable safety profile.

Title:
A Phase II Study of the Sequential Combination of Low-Intensity Chemotherapy (mini-hyper-CVD) and Ponatinib Followed By Blinatumomab and Ponatinib in Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)Clinically Relevant Abstract
Excerpt:With a median follow-up of 23 months (range, 6-31), the 2-year CRD and OS rates are 90% and 78%, respectively, across all cohorts (Figure 1), and are 89% and 82%, respectively in the ND cohort...Sequential combination of low-intensity chemotherapy and ponatinib followed by blinatumomab and ponatinib is highly effective and well tolerated in Ph+ ALL.

Title:
4046 Ponatinib and Blinatumomab for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Lymphoid Blast Phase: A Subgroup Analysis from a Phase II StudyClinically Relevant Abstract
Excerpt:Among the 14 pts with R/R Ph+ ALL, 1 was in CR but still with detectable BCR::ABL1 at enrollment. 12 of the 13 evaluable pts (92%) achieved CR/CRi, with CR in 11 pts (85%). The one non-responding pt had received prior ponatinib-based therapy in an earlier salvage regimen. After one cycle, 11/14 (79%) achieved MMR and 10/14 pts (71%) achieved CMR. 12/14 (86%) achieved MMR and 11/14 pts (79%) achieved CMR at any time over the course of therapy.The chemotherapy-free combination of ponatinib and blinatumomab is a safe and effective regimen in both R/R Ph+ ALL and CML-LBP. High rates of deep molecular response were observed in R/R Ph+ ALL.
