Full Title
A Single-Arm Multicenter Phase II Study preceded by Dose Evaluation to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of the BiTE® Antibody Blinatumomab (MT103) in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients with Relapsed/Refractory B-Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)(MT103-205)(COG AALL1121)
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of an investigational drug called blinatumomab that can be used safely in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has returned despite or stopped responding to standard therapy.
Blinatumomab is an antibody called a “bi-specific T-cell engager (BiTE).” It attaches to a protein on leukemia cells and also to white blood cells called T cells. When a cancer cell and a T cell are brought together by blinatumomab, the T cell can kill the cancer cell.
Blinatumomab is given intravenously (by vein).
