Abstract
Blinatumomab is a CD19 targeting bi-specific T-cell engager antibody construct developed for the treatment of CD19 expressing B-cell malignancies. Numerous adult and pediatric B-ALL clinical trials have demonstrated blinatumomab's efficacy in the relapse setting as well as in patients with residual disease after upfront chemotherapy. The safety profile of blinatumomab is also favorable, making it a feasible option for most patients. Several key questions remain, including the role of blinatumomab as a replacement for toxic elements of standard chemotherapy regimens in the upfront setting, its role as a bridge to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, or whether previous blinatumomab impacts the efficacy of subsequent CAR-T cell therapy.
