    Abstract: Patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a dismal prognosis. CD19 is homogenously expressed in B-precursor ALL and can be targeted by the investigational bispecific T cell–engager antibody blinatumomab. A phase II trial was performed to determine clinical activity in this patient cohort. Patients and Methods Thirty-six patients with relapsed or refractory B-precursor ALL were treated with blinatumomab in cycles of 4-week continuous infusion followed by a 2-week treatment-free interval in a single-arm study with a dose-finding stage and an extension stage. The primary end point was complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh). Major secondary end points included minimal residual disease (MRD) response, rate of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) realization, relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and incidence of adverse events (AEs). Results Median age was 32 years (range, 18 to 77 years). Twenty-five patients (69%) achieved a CR or CRh, with 88% of the responders achieving an MRD response. Median OS was 9.8 months (95% CI, 8.5 to 14.9), and median RFS was 7.6 months (95% CI, 4.5 to 9.5). Thirteen responders (52%) underwent HSCT after achieving a CR or CRh. The most frequent AE during treatment was pyrexia (grade 1 or 2, 75%; grade 3, 6%). In six patients with nervous system or psychiatric disorder AEs and in two patients with cytokine release syndrome, treatment had to be interrupted or discontinued. These medical events were resolved clinically. Conclusion The data support further investigation of blinatumomab for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory ALL in a larger confirmatory study.

    Abstract: Introduction: In an open-label phase 2 study, blinatumomab demonstrated efficacy with a manageable safety profile as second salvage in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (R/R B-NHL) following platinum-based salvage regimens (Coyle et al. Leukemia & Lymphoma. 2020: 1-10). Blinatumomab is a BiTE® (bispecific T-cell engager) immuno-oncology therapy that activates endogenous cytotoxic T cells to kill target B cells. Here, findings from the updated analysis are reported (NCT02910063). Methods: Patients aged & gt;18 years with biopsy-confirmed B-NHL without prior complete response or complete metabolic response (CMR) following first-line treatment with anthracycline- based chemotherapy and anti-CD20 therapy, had progressive metabolic disease (PMD), no metabolic response (NMR), or partial metabolic response (PMR; Lugano Classification) after ≥2 cycles of platinum-based S1 therapy were eligible. Blinatumomab was given by continuous intravenous infusion for a single 70-day cycle 1 (9 µg/day for 7 days, 28 µg /day for 7 days, and 112 µg /day for 42 days, followed by a 14-day treatment free interval) and an optional 28-day second cycle (9 µg /day for 7 days, 28 µg /day for 7 days and 112 µg / day for 14 days) at the investigator's discretion. Primary endpoint was CMR by central PET. Additional endpoints included objective response rate (ORR; CMR plus PMR), overall survival (OS), progression- free survival (PFS), duration of response, post-response HSCT rate, and the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs). Results: As of the data cut date (June 3, 2020) for this updated analysis, 41 patients were enrolled between 23 January 2017 and 15 January 2018; 28 (68%) patients were refractory and 13 (32%) relapsed to first-line therapy, 66% had progressive disease following first salvage (S1), and 9 (22%) had double or triple hit status at baseline (Figure 1). ORR was 37% (15/41; 95% CI, 22-53) after 12 weeks of treatment, including 9 (22%) patients who achieved CMR and 6 (15%) achieved PMR. Of the 41 patients enrolled, 17 (42%) were double refractory; of which, 3 (7%) achieved CMR, and 3 (7%) achieved PMR. Of the 41 patients who received blinatumomab, median OS (95% CI) was 11.2 (5.9-NE) months with median follow-up time of 27.9 months. Among the 9 patients who achieved CMR, median OS (95% CI) was NE (7.0, NE) and median PFS (95% CI) was 8.4 (4.9-11.6) months with median follow of time of 4.7 months; of which, 3 patients had disease progression and 0 died. Of the 13 patients who achieved HSCT, median OS (95% CI) was NE (13.1-NE) with 69% of patients alive at 30 months and median PFS (95% CI) was 8.4 (5.3-13.9) months with 21% of patients alive at 12 months (Figure 2 and 3). In total, 29 (71%) patients had grade ≥3 treatment-emergent AEs, including included infections (n=8; 20%), neutropenia (n=4; 10%), pulmonary embolism (n=1; 2%), and acute pancreatitis (n=1; 2%). Consistent with previous blinatumomab reports, neurologic events (NEs) were reported in 23 (56%) patients, including 10 (24%) with grade 3 NEs and 3 (7%) with NEs leading to treatment discontinuation. Grade 3 cytokine release syndrome was reported in only 1 patient. 7 (17%) patients discontinued treatment due to AEs and 7 (17%) had fatal AEs of which were related to disease progression. Conclusions: In conclusion, durable complete remissions can be achieved with a manageable safety profile using blinatumomab as second salvage in patients with aggressive R/R B-NHL following platinum based first salvage regimens Figure 1 Disclosures Coyle: Amgen: Other: Travel support.

    Abstract: Introduction: Blinatumomab, an investigational bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) antibody construct, has been shown to induce remission in adult patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL. Medically important adverse events (AEs) related to blinatumomab treatment in adults are cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological events. We report the primary analysis of the phase 1 portion of a multicenter phase 1/2 study of blinatumomab in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL. Methods: In this continuing study, eligible patients are 〈 18 years old and must have BCP-ALL that is in second or later bone marrow relapse, in any marrow relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), or refractory to induction or reinduction therapy. Patients receive blinatumomab for 28 days by continuous intravenous infusion followed by a 14-day treatment-free period (for up to five cycles). Escalating dosing levels of 5, 15, and 30 μg/m²/day and stepwise dosing of 5–15 or 15–30 μg/m²/day were evaluated. The primary endpoint of the phase 1 portion of the study was maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary endpoints included toxicity, complete remission (CR) rate, overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), pharmacokinetics evaluation, and cytokine measurement. Results: In the phase 1 portion, 41 patients received a total of 73 cycles (median of 2 cycles received, range of 1 to 5). Eight (20%) patients had refractory disease and seven (17%) had experienced at least two bone marrow relapses. Twenty-six (63%) patients had relapsed following HSCT. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are listed in Table 1. The MTD was established at 15 µg/m²/day. To decrease the risk of CRS, a stepwise dose of 5–15 μg/m²/day was recommended for the phase 2 part of the study (5 µg/m²/day for 7 days, then 15 µg/m²/day). This dose was subsequently assessed in two age groups (2–6 and 7–17 years) in the phase 1 expansion part with one of 18 patients developing grade 3 CRS. No patient in the expansion cohort developed grade 4 or 5 CRS. Across all dosing levels, 13 (32%) patients had CR with 10 (77%) achieving minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity. Of these 13 patients, nine (69%) underwent HSCT. Among patients who achieved CR, median RFS was 8.3 months (95% CI: 3.0–16.0 months). Median OS was 5.7 months (95% CI: 3.3–9.7 months; Figure 1) with a median follow-up time of 12.4 months. Across all dosing levels, the most common AEs regardless of causality were pyrexia (78%), headache (37%), hypertension (32%), nausea (29%), abdominal pain (27%), pain in the extremity (27%), and anemia (27%). Pharmacokinetic parameters, including steady-state concentration (Css), clearance, and half-life were similar to those from adult patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL who received body surface area-based blinatumomab dosing. Transient elevations of serum cytokines were observed mostly within the first two days after starting blinatumomab, in particular IL-6, IFN-gamma, IL-10, and, to a lesser extent, IL-2 and TNF-α. Conclusions: In the phase 1 portion of this study in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL, the MTD was 15 µg/m²/day. CRS was dose-limiting, but stepwise dosing of 5–15 μg/m²/day has been effective in ameliorating CRS. Thirty-two percent of patients achieved CR and more than half were able to proceed to allogeneic HSCT. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures von Stackelberg: Amgen: Consultancy, Honoraria.

    Abstract: Abstract 670 Introduction: Relapsed/refractory B-precursor ALL in adults has a dismal prognosis with only 35–40% of patients reaching a hematological complete remission (CR) with a median overall survival of 4–6 months. An exploratory phase II trial was conducted in this patient population with blinatumomab, a bispecific T-cell engaging (BiTE®) antibody that directs cytotoxic T-cells to CD19 expressing target cells. Methods: The primary endpoint was hematological CR or CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh*) within 2 cycles of blinatumomab. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and safety. Blinatumomab was administered by continuous intravenous infusion for 28 days followed by a 14-day treatment-free interval. Responding patients had the option to receive 3 additional cycles of treatment or to proceed to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Three dosing regimens were explored (Table 1) to identify the optimal regimen with respect to efficacy and toxicity. Results: 36 patients were treated; 26 out of the 36 treated patients (72%) achieved a hematological CR/CRh*. Ten out of 26 (38%) responders had a CRh*. 24 out 26 (92%) responders achieved also a molecular response (minimal residual disease level below 10−4 as measured by PCR) within the first 2 cycles. Twenty out of 21 (95%) patients in first relapse responded whereas only 6 out of 15 (40%) of the remaining patients achieved a hematological CR/CRh*. Thirteen patients proceeded to allogeneic HSCT in CR/CRh* after blinatumomab treatment, and one of them developed a medullary CD19− relapse after allogeneic HSCT. The other 13 responders did not receive allogeneic HSCT. Eight of these 13 patients relapsed: 2 relapses were CD19− (1 medullary and 1 extramedullary); 3 were CD19+ (1 medullary and 2 extramedullary), and 3 were with pending CD19 status (all 3 medullary). The median survival for all 36 treated patients is 9.0 months with a median follow-up time for OS of 10.7 months. For patients who achieved a CR/CRh*, the median survival is 14.1 months whereas for patients who failed blinatumomab therapy the median survival is 6.6 months. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and CNS events were reported as medically important events. Two patients with high tumor burden and no cytoreductive prephase required treatment interruption or discontinuation. CRS syndrome could be either prevented or treated by adapting a dexamethasone regimen for patients resulting in no further treatment interruption due to CRS. Fully reversible adverse drug events of the CNS leading to treatment interruption were observed in 6 patients: 3 patients with seizures and 3 patients with encephalopathy. CNS symptoms fully resolved, and all 6 patients were able to resume treatment at a lower dose; however, 2 out of these 6 patients had a recurrent event and permanently discontinued. One patient stopped treatment due to fungal infection leading to death. As final dose and schedule, 5 μg/m2/day in week 1 and 15 μg/m2/day for the remaining treatment (as in cohorts 2a and 3) was selected for further investi-gation based on safety and efficacy considerations. In the extension cohort, cohort 3 (n=18), the most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) were pyrexia (70%), headache (39%), tremor (30%) and fatigue (30%). Summary: The final dosing regimen of blinatumomab produced exceptionally high complete hematological and molecular remission rates and was well-tolerated. Updated follow-up information regarding duration of response and survival will be presented. A global phase II study to confirm these data is being conducted.

    Abstract: Abstract 252 Adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a dismal prognosis with low complete remission (CR) rates with intensive salvage chemotherapy which are not durable. Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engaging (BiTE®) antibody construct that directs cytotoxic T-cells to CD19 expressing B-cells. In collaboration with the German Multicenter Study Group for Adult Lymphoblastic Leukemia (GMALL), an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, exploratory phase II trial is being conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of blinatumomab in adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-precursor ALL. The primary endpoint for this trial is the rate of patients who reach CR or CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh*) within 2 cycles of blinatumomab treatment. Secondary endpoints are the rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) response (defined by an MRD level below the quantitative detection limit of 10−4), time to hematological relapse and overall survival. Blinatumomab is administered by continuous intravenous infusion for 28-days followed by a 14-day treatment-free interval. Responding patients could proceed to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or receive a total of up to 5 cycles of blinatumomab treatment. Three dose levels have been explored as shown in Table 1.Table 1.Summary of Dose Cohorts and OutcomesCohortPatients TreatedInitial Dose Week 1, Cycle 1 μg/m2/dayDose Week 2, Cycle 1 μg/m2/dayDose Weeks 3–4, Cycle 1 μg/m2/dayMaintenance Dose, Subsequent Cycles μg/m2/dayCR or CRh*Serious Adverse EventsnPts171515151551562a551515154222b65153030354310 planned5151515n.a.n.a.n.a. As of June 30, 2011, 43 cycles have been administered to a total of 18 patients (range 1–5; median 2). Twelve out of 18 patients have reached a complete remission within the first 2 cycles of single agent blinatumomab corresponding to a response rate of 67%. Of these 12 responding patients, 75% had complete hematologic recovery of peripheral blood counts. All 12 responders reached MRD negativity within the first 2 cycles and included 3 patients with t(4;11) and 1 patient with Ph-positive B-precursor ALL. Four responders proceeded to allogeneic HSCT; one experienced a CD19-negative hematological relapse after HSCT. Two responders relapsed during treatment; one had a CD19-positive extramedullary, and one a CD19-negative bone marrow relapse. The remaining 6 non-transplanted responders are still in hematological complete remission. The most common adverse events were pyrexia and chills. In cohort 1, one patient with a high tumor burden developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)/cytokine release syndrome (CRS) leading to treatment discontinuation. The implementation of a cytoreductive pre-phase and a lower initial dosing at 5μg/m2/day during the first week prevented further treatment discontinuations in such patients. Four patients had fully reversible CNS serious adverse events that led in 1 patient to discontinuation of treatment, and in 3 patients to temporary interruption of treatment. These 3 patients resumed treatment at a lower dose without further interruptions during the following cycles. There were no deaths related to blinatumomab. Blinatumomab as single agent induced an unprecedented high rate of complete hematological and MRD responses in adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-precursor ALL. A lower dose of 5μg/m2/day for the initial week of treatment, as tested in cohort 2a, demonstrated a favorable safety profile while maintaining efficacy. A maintenance dose of 30μg/m2/day, as tested in cohort 2b, did not further improve the already high efficacy but increased the number of adverse events. Therefore, the dosing of cohort 2a was selected as the basis for cohort 3 and will be applied to further clinical development in this patient population. Updated results of the study will be presented. Disclosures: Topp: Micromet: Consultancy, Honoraria. Goekbuget:Micromet: Consultancy. Zugmaier:Micromet: Employment. Klappers:Micromet AG: Employment.

    Abstract: Introduction Novel approaches are needed to treat pediatric relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) antibody that has shown remission in an exploratory study of 36 adult patients with relapsed/refractory ALL. Primary toxicities in adults have been cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and central nervous system (CNS) related toxicity. We initiated a phase 1/2 multicenter study to identify, in the phase 1 part, the optimal dose of blinatumomab in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL. Methods In this ongoing study, eligible patients are 〈 18 years old and must have BCP-ALL that is refractory, in second or later bone marrow relapse, or in any marrow relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Blinatumomab is administered by continuous intravenous infusion over 28 days, followed by a 14-day treatment-free interval (up to five cycles). Data from the five doses that have been explored to date are presented. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD), defined as the highest dose level with less than two of six patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within the first treatment cycle, is the primary endpoint in the phase 1 part of the study (rolling 6 design). Serum samples were collected for pharmacokinetics evaluation and cytokine measurement. Results In the phase 1 part of the study, 34 patients received a total of 56 cycles. Six (18%) patients had refractory disease and 6 (18%) had experienced at least two bone marrow relapses. Twenty-two (65%) patients had relapsed following HSCT. DLTs for dose levels 1 through 4 are summarized in the Table. The MTD for this patient population was established at 15 µg/m²/day. In order to reduce the risk of CRS, a dose of 5 µg/m²/day for 7 days escalating to 15 µg/m²/day for the remainder of the first cycle and all following cycles (5→15 µg/m²/day; dose level 5) was evaluated as recommended dose. None of the 11 patients treated at this dose level developed CRS and no grade 3 CNS-related adverse events (AEs) occurred. Across dose levels, the most common AEs regardless of causality were pyrexia (62% of patients), headache (35%), anemia (29%), and hypertension (29%). One patient treated at 5 µg/m²/day had a grade 3 seizure at the beginning of the second treatment cycle, which resolved clinically and showed no changes on MRI. Across all dose levels, 11 (32%) patients had complete remission (CR), one (3%) had hypocellular blast-free bone marrow, and two (6%) had partial remission within the first two treatment cycles, for an overall response rate of 41%. Some efficacy assessments are still ongoing, and full response data for the phase 1 part of the study will be available at the time of presentation. Two patients experienced hematologic relapse (one each at dose levels 2 and 3, during the fifth and third cycles, respectively). Pharmacokinetic parameters, such as steady-state concentration (Css) and clearance, appeared to be similar to those from adult patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL who received body surface area-based blinatumomab dosing. Transient elevations of serum cytokines were observed mainly in the first two days after infusion start, in particular IL-6, IFN-gamma, IL-10, and, to a lesser extent, IL-2 and TNF-α. Conclusions In the ongoing phase 1 part of this study in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL, a dose of 15 µg/m²/day was established as MTD. Cytokine-release syndrome has been dose-limiting. Pharmacokinetic analysis at the recommended dose of 5→15 µg/m²/day is ongoing. This dose de-escalation strategy has been successful in ameliorating severe CRS to date. Blinatumomab treatment has shown promising antitumor activity in this relapsed/refractory patient population.

    Abstract: Introduction: Relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-precursor ALL in adults has an unfavorable prognosis with a median overall survival of 4–8 months and a 5-year survival of 〈 10%. Long-term follow-up data are presented from an exploratory phase 2 study with blinatumomab, an investigational bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) antibody construct that directs cytotoxic T-cells to CD19-expressing target cells (Topp MS et al. Blood 2012;120(21):670). Methods: The primary endpoint was hematologic complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh*) within 2 cycles of blinatumomab. Secondary endpoints included rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) response (defined as 〈 10-4), overall survival (OS), and relapse-free survival (RFS). Blinatumomab was administered by continuous intravenous infusion for 28 days followed by a 14-day treatment-free interval. Responding patients had the option to receive 3 additional cycles of treatment or to proceed to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). Results: 36 patients were treated; 25 (69%) responded, with 15 (42%) achieving CR and 10 (28%) CRh*. MRD response was achieved in 22 (88%) of these 25 patients with CR or CRh*. Thirteen patients with CR or CRh* proceeded to aHSCT after blinatumomab treatment. In addition, one patient with hypocellular bone marrow and MRD response after the first cycle underwent aHSCT. Follow-up for RFS is 22.4 months; median RFS is 8.8 months. Median follow-up for OS is 30.2 months; median OS is 12.9 months. Ten patients (28%) are alive at 29.7 months (Figure). We analyzed the characteristics of the 10 living long-term survivors, defined as OS of 2 years or longer, seven of whom were relapse-free. The age of these 10 patients at the time of first infusion ranged from 21 to 72 years; the blast count at screening ranged from 8% to 97% (median, 56%). Four of the 10 patients alive had received aHSCT prior to blinatumomab treatment. Of the six patients without a prior aHSCT, two were primary refractory; two had the first relapse within 12 months and two after 12 months post first diagnosis. In the 10 surviving patients blinatumomab treatment induced CR in seven patients, CRh* in two patients, and blast-free hypo-cellular bone marrow in one patient. All 10 surviving patients had an MRD response following blinatumomab treatment. The patient with hypocellular bone marrow received a transplant after the first cycle before potential recovery of blood counts qualifying for CR/CRh* could occur. Seven of the surviving patients underwent aHSCT after blinatumomab, including four patients who received a second aHSCT after they had already received an aHSCT prior to blinatumomab. One of the three patients who did not undergo aHSCT after CRh* had grade 4 cytokine release syndrome requiring resuscitation after 1 day of blinatumomab treatment and has remained in ongoing remission for 22 months without any further treatment aside from 5 cycles of blinatumomab. Another one of these three patients, who had a grade 3 neurologic event on day 2 of cycle 2, has remained in ongoing remission for 34 months without any further treatment aside from 5 cycles of blinatumomab. The third of these three patients had two CD19-positive relapses after CR following blinatumomab treatment. The patient was retreated with 3 cycles of blinatumomab, resulting twice in CR and MRD response. Two of the 10 surviving patients relapsed after blinatumomab and aHSCT; one patient with a CD 19-negative relapse achieved another hematologic remission by chemotherapy. Summary: These data show that patients with r/r ALL, who achieved MRD response and received subsequent aHSCT following blinatumomab immunotherapy may achieve long-term survival longer than 2 years. Studies with a larger sample size are warranted to confirm these data. Two patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicities showed long-term survival without aHSCT after blinatumomab. Figure Figure.
