Gentler combo therapy tested to fight leukemia in older patients

NCT ID NCT03480438

Summary

This study tested a new treatment plan for older adults (55-75) newly diagnosed with a fast-growing blood cancer called B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal was to see if using a lower dose of standard chemotherapy, followed by an immunotherapy drug called blinatumomab, could effectively control the disease while being easier on the body. Researchers measured how well the cancer responded and monitored patients' survival and quality of life.
