Blinatumomab: A Promising New Drug in the Therapeutic Armamentarium for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
نویسنده
چکیده
The anti CD19/CD3-bispecific T cell–engager monoclonal antibody blinatumomab is an effective drug with an acceptable toxic profile for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This high efficacy has also been observed in patients with minimal residual disease. These favorable results have led to the investigation of the activity of this drug in early phases of the disease.

Clinical use of blinatumomab for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adults
Adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a dismal prognosis with a short median overall survival that can be measured in months. Because most patients will have chemotherapy-resistant disease, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only potentially curative treatment. Despite advances in current management, patients continue to have poo...
متن کاملNovel immunotherapies for adult patients with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia
The past decade witnessed the rapid development of adult B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. Beyond the development of chemotherapy regimens, immunotherapy is starting a new era with unprecedented complete remission (CR) rate. Targeting B-lineage-specific surface markers such as CD19, CD20, CD22, or CD52, immunotherapy has been demonstrating promising clinical results. Among...
متن کاملImmunotargeting relapsed or refractory precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia – role of blinatumomab
Patients with refractory or relapsed (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a dismal prognosis of around 5% long-term survival when treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy and allogenic stem cell transplantation. T-cell immunobased strategies open up new therapeutic perspectives. Blinatumomab is the first of a new class of antibody constructs that was labeled bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE)...

The CD19 marker is expressed on the surface of normal and malignant immature or mature B-cells. On the other hand, immunotherapy involving T-cells is a promising modality of treatment for many neoplastic diseases including leukemias and lymphomas. The CD19/CD3-bispecific T-cell-engaging (BiTE(®)) monoclonal antibody blinatumomab can transiently engage cytotoxic T-cells to CD19+ target B-cells i...
متن کاملClinical and pharmacologic aspects of blinatumomab in the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults remains a challenging disease to treat, and novel therapies are needed. Precursor-B ALL comprises 80% of cases, and the CD19 antigen is expressed in nearly all precursor-B ALL patients. Bispecific T-cell-engaging antibodies are novel bioengineered proteins. The bispecific T-cell-engaging antibody blinatumomab engages polyclonal T cells to CD19-expres...
