Precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or stopped responding to treatment have few options. This phase 2 trial tests whether adding epratuzumab, an antibody that attaches to the CD22 protein found on most of these leukemia cells, to standard chemothera…

This study tested whether the drug siltuximab can lessen the severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological side effects (ICANS) that often occur after CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia. Twenty-four participants received siltuximab alon…

This Phase 3 trial tested the drug blinatumomab in 111 children with high-risk relapsed B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Blinatumomab is an immunotherapy that helps the body's immune cells attack cancer cells. The study compared blinatumomab to standard chemotherap…

This study tests whether adding the targeted drug inotuzumab ozogamicin to a milder chemotherapy regimen improves survival in adults over 55 with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is Philadelphia chromosome-negative and CD22-positive. Participants receive…

This early-phase study tested the safety of the drug blinatumomab (Blincyto®) in 6 Japanese adults newly diagnosed with a type of leukemia called B-ALL. The main goal was to see what side effects occurred. Researchers also looked at how the drug moves through the body and whether…

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 looked at how well blinatumomab works and how safe it is in 92 adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that had come back or was not responding to treatment. Patients received the drug through a French compassionate use program. Researchers measured survival, r…

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 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 early-stage study tested a combination of two drugs, acalabrutinib and ACP-319, in 40 people with B-cell cancers such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal was to check safety and how well the drugs work together. Partic…

This study tested a new treatment approach for adults over 55 with a specific type of leukemia (B-precursor ALL). The goal was to see if using a targeted drug called blinatumomab along with a reduced dose of chemotherapy could help patients achieve remission with fewer side effec…
