Study Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of a new cancer drug for people with a certain type of leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) who may have relapsed after stem cell transplant, have a certain percentage of cancer cells in their bone marrow, or are not responding to other treatments. It's open to those with an ECOG Performance Status of 2 or less and includes patients intolerant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Blinatumomab given under the skin for treating ALL. It aims to find the highest dose patients can tolerate without severe side effects and establish recommended doses for future phases. The trial also examines how the body processes this drug.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Blinatumomab can cause side effects like allergic reactions at the injection site, fever, headache, nausea, fatigue, and infections. Some people might experience neurological issues such as seizures or confusion.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Ph-IIC: Clinical PK Evaluation of SC Blinatumomab FormulationsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
1 cohort of participants will be enrolled into the Ph-IIC arm. The clinical PK evaluation cohort (Ph-IIC) will be conducted to compare the PK of SC1 and SC2 formulations at the RP2D determined from the dose expansion phase, in participants with R/R B-ALL.
Group II: Dose Expansion Phase: Blinatumomab SC1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Up to 4 cohorts of participants with R/R B-ALL will be enrolled to the preliminary recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule determined from dose escalation phase. Each cohort will aim to further assess safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy.
Group III: Dose Escalation Phase: Blinatumomab Subcutaneous Formulation 1 (SC1)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohorts of at least 3 participants each will be treated with escalating doses of bilinatumomab to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The MTD will be defined as the dose for which the estimate of the toxicity rate from an isotonic regression (Yan et al, 2017) is closest to the target toxicity rate. Safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and efficacy will be assessed.
