Complete remission after single agent blinatumomab in a patient with pre-B acute lymphoid leukemia relapsed and refractory to three prior regimens: hyperCVAD, high dose cytarabine mitoxantrone and CLAG.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The current standard of care for relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is combination chemotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION:We report a case of highly refractory ALL who was treated with blinatumomab. The ALL in this patient relapsed within a month after completion of hyperCVAD regimen and was refractory to high dose mitoxantrone/cytarabine and CLAG regimens. CONCLUSION:This highly refractory pre-B Ph(-) ALL was induced to complete remission after one course of single agent blinatumomab.
