Purpose Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager antibody construct targeting CD19 on B-cell lymphoblasts. We evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, recommended dosage, and potential for efficacy of blinatumomab in children with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Methods This open-label study enrolled children < 18 years old with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL in a phase I dosage-escalation part and a phase II part, using 6-week treatment cycles. Primary end points were maximum-tolerated dosage (phase I) and complete remission rate within the first two cycles (phase II). Results We treated 49 patients in phase I and 44 patients in phase II. Four patients had dose-limiting toxicities in cycle 1 (phase I). Three experienced grade 4 cytokine-release syndrome (one attributed to grade 5 cardiac failure); one had fatal respiratory failure. The maximum-tolerated dosage was 15 µg/m/d. Blinatumomab pharmacokinetics was linear across dosage levels and consistent among age groups. On the basis of the phase I data, the recommended blinatumomab dosage for children with relapsed/refractory ALL was 5 µg/m/d for the first 7 days, followed by 15 µg/m/d thereafter. Among the 70 patients who received the recommended dosage, 27 (39%; 95% CI, 27% to 51%) achieved complete remission within the first two cycles, 14 (52%) of whom achieved complete minimal residual disease response. The most frequent grade ≥ 3 adverse events were anemia (36%), thrombocytopenia (21%), and hypokalemia (17%). Three patients (4%) and one patient (1%) had cytokine-release syndrome of grade 3 and 4, respectively. Two patients (3%) interrupted treatment after grade 2 seizures. Conclusion This trial, which to the best of our knowledge was the first such trial in pediatrics, demonstrated antileukemic activity of single-agent blinatumomab with complete minimal residual disease response in children with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL. Blinatumomab may represent an important new treatment option in this setting, requiring further investigation in curative indications.
目的:Blinatumomab 是一种双特异性 T 细胞衔接抗体构建体,靶向 B 细胞淋巴母细胞上的 CD19。我们评估了blinatumomab 在复发/难治性 B 细胞前体急性淋巴细胞白血病(BCP-ALL)儿童中的安全性、药代动力学、推荐剂量和疗效潜力。
方法:这项开放标签研究纳入了复发/难治性 BCP-ALL 儿童,分为 I 期剂量递增部分和 II 期部分,使用 6 周治疗周期。主要终点是最大耐受剂量(I 期)和前两个周期内的完全缓解率(II 期)。
结果:我们在 I 期治疗了 49 例患者,在 II 期治疗了 44 例患者。在第 1 周期中,4 例患者出现剂量限制毒性(I 期)。3 例发生 4 级细胞因子释放综合征(1 例归因于 5 级心力衰竭);1 例发生致命性呼吸衰竭。最大耐受剂量为 15μg/m/d。blinatumomab 的药代动力学在剂量水平上呈线性,且在各年龄组中一致。基于 I 期数据,复发/难治性 ALL 患儿推荐的 blinatumomab 剂量为前 7 天 5μg/m/d,此后为 15μg/m/d。在接受推荐剂量的 70 例患者中,27 例(39%;95%CI,27%至 51%)在前两个周期内达到完全缓解,其中 14 例(52%)达到完全微小残留病缓解。最常见的≥3 级不良事件为贫血(36%)、血小板减少(21%)和低钾血症(17%)。3 例(4%)和 1 例(1%)患者分别发生 3 级和 4 级细胞因子释放综合征。2 例(3%)患者因 2 级癫痫发作而中断治疗。
结论:本试验是我们所知的首个儿科此类试验,证明了单药 blinatumomab 在复发/难治性 BCP-ALL 儿童中的抗白血病活性,并伴有完全微小残留病缓解。blinatumomab 可能是该治疗环境中的一个重要新治疗选择,需要进一步研究以确定其治愈适应证。
