Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Blinatumomab, Immunotherapy, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial is a non-blinded, single-center, open-label, single-arm clinical study to evaluate a full-course immunotherapy regimen in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The study population includes newly diagnosed patients who are unfit for or decline intensive chemotherapy, as well as patients with relapsed/refractory disease or with measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity following prior chemotherapy. The trial aims to explore the efficacy and safety of sequential therapy with a CD19-directed CD3 T-cell engager and inotuzumab ozogamicin. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS), while secondary endpoints include complete remission rate (CRR)、Objective Response Rate (ORR)、Event-free survival (EFS)、Relapse-free survival (RFS)、Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR)、Non-relapse mortality (NRM) and safety.
Interventions
Subjects who meet the study criteria during screening will receive induction therapy consisting of low-intensity chemotherapy combined with a CD19-directed CD3 T-cell engager with or without TKIs. Regimen includes dexamethasone, vindesine, followed by blinatumomab dosed by body weight: pts ≥45 kg receive fixed dosing (9 µg/day days 1-7, 28 µg/day days 8-28), pts \<45 kg receive BSA-adjusted dosing (5 µg/m²/day days 1-7, 15 µg/m²/day days 8-28). Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL pts receive second-generation TKIs, with subsequent switch to third-generation TKIs or asciminib upon resistance. If morphologic remission is not achieved after initial therapy, a salvage cycle with InO will be administered. Post-remission consolidation chemotherapy includes high-dose methotrexate followed by sequential immunotherapy: BiTE (per weight-stratified dosing), then after a 2-week break, InO (0.8 mg/m² on day 1), followed by another 2-week break.This sequence is repeated for 4 cycles.

Exclusion criteria
1. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) or other extramedullary disease. 2. Concurrent other active malignancies or malignancies requiring treatment. 3.

(9) Primary immunodeficiency or active autoimmune disease. (10) History of severe immediate hypersensitivity to any study drugs. (11) Receipt of live vaccine within 6 weeks prior to screening. (12) Psychiatric disorders or other conditions that may compromise compliance with study requirements, treatment, or monitoring. (13) Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or fertile patients unwilling to use contraception. (14) Any other condition deemed unsuitable for study participation by the investigator.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival(OS) | 2 years | It is measured from the date of entry into this trial to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CR rate(CRR) | 2 years | CR rate (CR defined as bone marrow blasts \< 5% and no Auer rods, absence of extramedullary disease, ANC ≥ 1.0 × 109/L \[1000/µL\], platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L \[100,000/µL\], and independence of RBC transfusions). |
| Objective Response Rate (ORR) | 2 years | Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the rate of CR, CRi (including complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery \[CRp\], PR, and MLFS. |
| Event-free survival(EFS) | 2 years | Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from the start of treatment until treatment failure, relapse from remission, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. |
| Relapse-free survival(RFS) | 2 years | Relapse-free survival(RFS) is the time from achievement of complete remission (CR) to the first documented relapse or death from any cause. Patients who die without evidence of relapse are typically censored at the last disease-free assessment. |
| Cumulative incidence of relapse(CIR) | 2 years | It is measured the date from complete remission to hematological relapse or molecular relapse was recorded. Patients who had no relapse at the last follow-up were considered as censored data, and non-relapse death was regarded as a competing risk event. |
| Non-relapse mortality(NRM) | 2 years | It is measured the probability of death attributable to treatment-related complications or comorbidities, excluding disease relapse/progression. |
