Evidence Level:Sensitive: C3 – Early Trials
Title:
A Phase 2 Study to Test the Feasibility, Safety and Efficacy of the Addition of Blinatumomab to the Interfant06 Backbone in Infants with Newly Diagnosed KMT2A-Rearranged Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. a Collaborative Study of the Interfant Network
Excerpt:Twenty-eight patients were enrolled. Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 1. The median follow-up was 11 months (range 1.5-33 months). All patients received the full course of blinatumomab without treatment interruptions….The 1-year EFS was 96.2% (SE 3.8)....This is the first trial to use blinatumomab in infants with newly diagnosed KMT2A-r ALL. Blinatumomab added to the Interfant06 backbone was very well tolerated, and has promising efficacy in terms of a high rate of complete MRD response and short term EFS.
