About this study

Official title: Blinatumomab for Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in Pre-B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients Following Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Canadian, Multicentre Trial

This is a single arm, open label, multi-centre phase II study using blinatumomab for treatment of detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) in the first year following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for patients with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The study has 2 phases: 1. MRD testing phase and 2. blinatumomab treatment phase. Participants with B-ALL planning for HSCT meeting other eligibility criteria will be enrolled onto the MRD testing phase, which will involve centralized MRD testing of bone marrow aspirate samples on day +56, +100, +180, +270 following HSCT. Participants with detectable MRD ≥10^-4 leukemic cells/total nucleated cells will enroll onto the treatment phase. Blinatumomab treatment will be started following detection of MRD after 7 to 42 days from enrollment onto the treatment phase to allow for initiation of taper of immunosuppressive medications.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Blinatumomab TreatmentExperimentalEligible patients with detectable MRD will taper immunosuppressive medications, if applicable, and undergo treatment with blinatumomab. The duration of each cycle of blinatumomab treatment is 6 weeks. Adult and pediatric patients will be treated for 4 weeks followed by a 2-week treatment free period. Patients may receive up to 4 cycles total of blinatumomab therapy.
Receives: Biological: blinatumomab

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MRD Response

    To determine the proportion of patients with MRD response, defined as negative MRD as measured by flow cytometry, after 1 cycle of blinatumomab.

    Measured: Following 1st cycle of blinatumomab (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Safety and Tolerability

    Safety of delivering blinatumomab will be monitored early during the post-transplant course. Safety will be evaluated by the onset of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and by documentation of the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD).

    Measured: During Blinatumomab treatment, an average of 24 weeks

  2. Survival

    Clinically relevant survival outcomes for patients enrolled onto the study including: 2-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) and event free-survival (EFS) and median OS.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Incidence of MRD Post HSCT

    To determine the proportion of patients developing detectable MRD following HSCT for B-ALL as measured by flow cytometry.

    Measured: Up to day +270 following stem cell transplant

  4. Patient Recruitment (Number of Patients Recruited)

    Feasibility

    Measured: Through Study Completion, an average of 2 years

  5. Turnaround time of centralized MRD testing (days)

    Feasibility

    Measured: Through Study Completion, an average of 2 years

  6. Time to delivery of blinatumomab following MRD detection

    Feasibility

    Measured: Through Study Completion, an average of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing blinatumomab in people with B-cell Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Stem Cell Leukemia, run by University of British Columbia at 3 sites in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow enrolment, loss of funding). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MRD Response (time frame: Following 1st cycle of blinatumomab (each cycle is 28 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Feb 2022.
