Summary

This study tested a drug called blinatumomab in 36 adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who were in remission but still had tiny amounts of cancer cells (minimal residual disease). The goal was to see if the drug could clear those leftover cells and help patients stay cancer-free longer. Blinatumomab works by helping the immune system attack leukemia cells.
