Overview
The goal of this single-arm, prospective study is to test in low-burden B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients undergoing allogeneic hemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The main question it aims to answer is:
• The efficacy and safety of short-term blinatumomab as a bridging therapy to allo-HSCT in patients with low-burden B-ALL. Participants will take intravenous blinatumomab prior to allo-HSCT with an initial dosage of 8 μg/day. The dosage gradually escalated to 28 μg/day and continued for 5 to 10 days. Dexamethasone 20mg was administered 1 hour before the onset of blinatumomab infusion.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients diagnosed with B-ALL;
- patients with age ≥ 16 years;
- Availability of both pre- and post-transplantation disease status records.
Exclusion Criteria:
- administration of blinatumomab therapy for more than 14 days;
- patients with leukemia burden ≥ 10% before initiation of treatment;
- patients with severe organ dysfunctions before treatment, including myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, decompensated liver dysfunction, renal dysfunction, or gastrointestinal dysfunction;
- patients with central nervous system leukemia.
