What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether giving blinatumomab, a drug that helps the immune system destroy leukemia cells, before a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for adults with high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Participants who are in remission and have no detectable disease will be randomly assigned to receive either a short course of blinatumomab before the transplant or proceed directly to transplant. The main goal is to see if the extra treatment extends the time people live without the leukemia coming back.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
blinatumomab, a drug that helps immune cells attack leukemia cells, given as a short course before a stem cell transplant
What this could lead to
If it works, adding blinatumomab before a stem cell transplant could lower the chance of leukemia returning and improve long-term survival for people with high-risk B-ALL.
What could go wrong
This is a randomized trial, but the drug can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome and nervous system problems. The benefit is not guaranteed, and results may not apply to all patients.
