Three-Year Update of Tisagenlecleucel in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the ELIANA Trial

Theodore W. Laetsch et al.

Summary: Clinical trials often have multiple endpoints with different maturity times. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to publish additional results beyond the initial report based on the primary endpoint. This update on the ELIANA trial demonstrates the long-term efficacy, safety, and quality of life improvements in pediatric and young adult patients with R/R B-ALL treated with tisagenlecleucel.

Impact of high-risk cytogenetics on outcomes for children and young adults receiving CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy

Allison Barz Leahy et al.

Summary: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is effective in treating relapsed/refractory B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), regardless of different cytogenetic characteristics. High-risk patients, including those with KMT2A-rearranged infant ALL, showed high probabilities of relapse-free survival and overall survival at 2 years.

Summary: Inotuzumab ozogamicin appears to be effective in treating relapsed/refractory ALL with extramedullary disease as a debulking strategy. However, inotuzumab ozogamicin followed by allogeneic HSCT seems to be ineffective in maintaining long-term disease control.

Characterization of extramedullary disease in B-ALL and response to CAR T-cell therapy

Elizabeth M. Holland et al.

Summary: CAR T cells are effective in eradicating B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) non-CNS extramedullary disease (EMD), although the response may be delayed and suboptimal, especially in cases of multifocal disease. Serial FDG PET/CT scans are necessary for identifying and monitoring non-CNS EMD.

Next-Generation Sequencing of Minimal Residual Disease for Predicting Relapse after Tisagenlecleucel in Children and Young Adults with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Michael A. Pulsipher et al.

Summary: We assessed minimal residual disease (MRD) detection and B-cell aplasia after tisagenlecleucel therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to identify predictive biomarkers for relapse. The results showed that BMNGS-MRD 0 and B-cell recovery were independently associated with relapse, and detectable BMNGS-MRD reliably predicted the risk.

Tumor-intrinsic and -extrinsic determinants of response to blinatumomab in adults with B-ALL

Yaqi Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of blinatumomab in patients with B-progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and found that both tumor-intrinsic and -extrinsic factors influence blinatumomab response. CD19 mutations were commonly detected in CD19(-) relapse during blinatumomab treatment, and the identification of the CD19 ex2part splice variant represents a new biomarker predictive of blinatumomab therapy failure.

Efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Wendy Stock et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that InO was more effective than standard intensive chemotherapy for patients with R/R Ph+ ALL, showing higher rates of complete remission and minimal residual disease negativity, as well as improved hematopoietic stem cell transplantation rates. However, there was no significant benefit in overall survival, and the probability of being event-free at 12 months was higher with InO treatment.

Summary: In children, adolescents, and young adults with high- and intermediate-risk first relapse of B-ALL, postreinduction treatment with blinatumomab compared with chemotherapy, followed by transplant, did not result in a statistically significant difference in disease-free survival. However, study interpretation is limited by early termination with possible underpowering for the primary end point.

Summary: The safety and efficacy of alloHCT consolidation after blinatumomab for relapsed refractory acute lymphocytic leukemia remains uncertain. Our study of 106 patients who received alloHCT post blinatumomab showed a 2-year progression free survival of 48% and overall survival of 58%. Acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease incidences were 9.9% and 34.4% respectively. Overall survival did not significantly differ between patients who achieved complete remission with MRD negative or positive before alloHCT.

Blinatumomab as first salvage versus second or later salvage in adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Results of a pooled analysis

Max S. Topp et al.

Summary: Blinatumomab as first salvage in patients with r/r BCP ALL showed longer overall survival, higher remission rates, and comparable safety profile compared to second or later salvage. This suggests that using blinatumomab as first salvage may have greater benefit for patients in terms of survival and remission rates. However, the safety profile showed more frequent issues with cytokine release syndrome, febrile neutropenia, and infection in second or later salvage patients.

Summary: KTE-X19 demonstrated a high rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete haematological recovery in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Median overall survival was not reached in responding patients, and the therapy showed a manageable safety profile. These findings suggest that KTE-X19 has the potential to provide long-term clinical benefit to these patients.

Summary: This study analyzed long-term follow-up data from two clinical trials involving blinatumomab, finding that one-third of patients with relapsed and/or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia achieving a deep response with blinatumomab lived for 3 years or longer. These results suggest that long-term survival is possible after treatment with blinatumomab, with some patients even undergoing stem cell transplantation showing improved survival outcomes.
