Outcomes in patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have improved with the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Molecular remission is a primary goal of treatment.
We conducted a phase 2 single-group trial of first-line therapy in adults with newly diagnosed Ph-positive ALL (with no upper age limit). Dasatinib plus glucocorticoids were administered, followed by two cycles of blinatumomab. The primary end point was a sustained molecular response in the bone marrow after this treatment.
Of the 63 patients (median age, 54 years; range, 24 to 82) who were enrolled, a complete remission was observed in 98%. At the end of dasatinib induction therapy (day 85), 29% of the patients had a molecular response, and this percentage increased to 60% after two cycles of blinatumomab; the percentage of patients with a molecular response increased further after additional blinatumomab cycles. At a median follow-up of 18 months, overall survival was 95% and disease-free survival was 88%; disease-free survival was lower among patients who had an deletion plus additional genetic aberrations ( or , , or both [i.e., ]). mutations were detected in 6 patients who had increased minimal residual disease during induction therapy, and all these mutations were cleared by blinatumomab. Six relapses occurred. Overall, 21 adverse events of grade 3 or higher were recorded. A total of 24 patients received a stem-cell allograft, and 1 death was related to transplantation (4%).
A chemotherapy-free induction and consolidation first-line treatment with dasatinib and blinatumomab that was based on a targeted and immunotherapeutic strategy was associated with high incidences of molecular response and survival and few toxic effects of grade 3 or higher in adults with Ph-positive ALL.

由于酪氨酸激酶抑制剂的应用,费城染色体(Ph)阳性急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者的预后得到改善。分子缓解是治疗的主要目标。
我们开展了一项 2 期、单组临床试验,纳入了新诊断的 Ph 阳性 ALL 成人患者(无年龄上限),一线治疗采用达沙替尼联合糖皮质激素,随后给予两周期的blinatumomab。主要终点是该治疗后骨髓中持续的分子缓解。
在入组的 63 例患者(中位年龄 54 岁;范围 24 至 82 岁)中,完全缓解率为 98%。达沙替尼诱导治疗结束时(第 85 天),29%的患者有分子缓解,在接受两周期的blinatumomab后,该比例增加至 60%;在接受更多blinatumomab 周期后,有分子缓解的患者比例进一步增加。中位随访 18 个月时,总生存率为 95%,无疾病生存率为 88%;有 缺失及其他遗传异常(或 、 、或两者均有[即 ])的患者无疾病生存率较低。在诱导治疗期间出现微小残留病灶增加的 6 例患者中检测到 突变,所有这些突变均被blinatumomab清除。6 例患者复发。总的来说,有 21 例 3 级或以上的不良事件发生。共有 24 例患者接受了干细胞移植,1 例与移植相关的死亡(4%)。
基于靶向和免疫治疗策略,采用无化疗诱导和巩固一线治疗,达沙替尼联合blinatumomab治疗 Ph 阳性 ALL 成人患者,分子缓解率和生存率高,3 级或以上毒性反应少。(由意大利癌症研究协会和其他机构资助;GIMEMA LAL2116 D-ALBA EudraCT 编号:2016-001083-11;ClinicalTrials.gov 编号:NCT02744768。)
