B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

This early-phase study tested a new approach for people whose B-cell cancers (like lymphoma or leukemia) came back after a donor stem cell transplant. Researchers took white blood cells from the original donor, genetically modified them to recognize and attack cancer cells, and g…

This phase 2 trial tested a combination of two drugs, ibrutinib and blinatumomab, in 19 adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that had come back or wasn't responding to treatment. The goal was to see how many patients achieved complete remission. The study is completed,…

This large phase 3 trial enrolled over 9,000 children with newly diagnosed standard-risk B-ALL or localized B-LLy. Researchers tested different combinations and doses of chemotherapy drugs to see which worked best with the fewest side effects. The goal was to improve disease-free…

This early-phase trial tested whether a new type of immune cell therapy (CD22 CAR T cells) could be safely made and given to 10 children and young adults whose B-cell leukemia or lymphoma had come back or stopped responding to treatment. The therapy uses the patient's own immune …

This phase 1 trial tested a new therapy called CD22-CAR T cells in 134 children and young adults (ages 1-39) with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma that had not been cured by standard treatments. The therapy involves taking a patient's own white blood cells, modifying them in a lab to …

This study tested a treatment called KTE-X19, a type of CAR T-cell therapy, in 95 children and adolescents whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) had returned or stopped responding to standard treatments. The therapy involves collecti…

This study tested whether a new type of immune cell therapy, called CD22 CAR T cells, could be made from patients' own blood cells and safely given to adults with hard-to-treat B-cell leukemia or lymphoma. The main goals were to see if the cells could be produced successfully and…

This study tested whether adding the targeted drug ruxolitinib to standard chemotherapy helps children with a high-risk form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The trial involved 171 children and young adults aged 1 to 21. Researchers first found the best dose of ruxolitinib,…

This early-phase trial tested a new CAR-T cell therapy called ThisCART19A in 10 adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The main goals were to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers tracked side effects and how well the treatment…

This phase 3 trial tested whether adding 6 doses of rituximab to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and teens with advanced B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or B-cell acute leukemia. The study enrolled 482 high-risk patients aged 6 months to 18 years. The goal was to…

This study tested a new treatment called anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for adults with B-cell blood cancers that returned or didn't respond to prior treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to target and kill cancer cells. 58 adults received the…

This early-stage trial tested the safety and best dose of flotetuzumab, an antibody drug, in 13 patients with advanced blood cancers that had come back or stopped responding to treatment. The drug works by blocking cancer cell growth. The main goal was to see what side effects oc…

This completed study monitored the safety and effectiveness of BESPONSA (inotuzumab ozogamicin) in 108 Korean adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The drug is already approved in Korea, and this post-marketing surveillance was required to …

This study tested a drug called inotuzumab ozogamicin in 44 Chinese adults whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) had come back or stopped responding to treatment. The drug targets a protein called CD22 on leukemia cells to destroy them. The main goal was to see how many patien…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two drugs—blinatumomab and pembrolizumab—in 16 adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who had high levels of cancer cells in their bone marrow. The goal was to see if adding pembrolizumab to bl…

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called Purinostat Mesylate in 29 people with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas, a type of blood cancer. The main goals were to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the drug moves through the body. Researchers hope this drug…

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 detectable (minimal residual disease). The goal was to see if the drug could clear those leftover cells and improve …

This study tested whether a mobile health program—including a Fitbit with movement reminders, coaching sessions, and a WhatsApp peer support group—could help 20 adolescents and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) reduce the time they spend sitting or lying down d…

This pilot study tested whether PET-CT scans can detect leukemia that has spread outside the bone marrow in patients with relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Ten participants received a PET scan before and after CAR T-cell therapy. The goal was to…

This study looked back at the medical records of 57 children and young adults (under 25) who received CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The goal was to understand how well the treatment worked and what side effects occurred, especially in those w…
