Study summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether short-term blinatumomab intensification before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can improve survival outcomes in adults with high-risk BCR::ABL1-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who have achieved measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity. Blinatumomab, a CD19/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager, has shown promising efficacy in eradicating MRD and prolonging survival in B-ALL patients. In this study, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either short-term blinatumomab consolidation prior to allo-HSCT or proceed directly to allo-HSCT. The primary endpoint is relapse-free survival (RFS). This study aims to optimize treatment strategies and improve long-term outcomes for patients with high-risk BCR::ABL1-negative B-ALL.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-year Relapse-Free Survival (RFS)

    Relapse-free survival is defined as the time from transplantation to either disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients who are alive and relapse-free at 2 years will be considered as having achieved 2-year RFS.

    Time frame: 2 years after transplantation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (CIR)

    Defined as the cumulative incidence of hematologic relapse, accounting for competing risks such as non-relapse mortality.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years after transplantation

  2. Non-Relapse Mortality (NRM)

    Death from any cause without prior hematologic relapse.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years after transplantation

  3. Incidence of Hematologic and Non-Hematologic Adverse Events

    Safety evaluation based on CTCAE v5.0 criteria, including treatment-related cytopenias, infections, neurotoxicity, and other adverse events.

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to 100 days post-transplant

  4. Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) Status

    MRD status assessed using multi-parameter flow cytometry or PCR prior to HSCT. Evaluated as MRD-negative or MRD-positive.

    Time frame: From enrollment to up to 2 years after transplantation

  5. 2-year Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the time from HSCT to death from any cause. Patients alive at 2 years are considered to have achieved 2-year OS.

    Time frame: 2 years after transplantation

Started Feb 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2027, 24 months after the start.

Of 207 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 66. This study's planned 24 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 214 studies reached it within 32 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 66.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 2, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
