Proved that adding the immunotherapy blinatumomab to standard treatment saves lives even in patients whose leukaemia was already undetectable.
224 MRD-negative patients randomised. 3-year OS 85% vs 68% (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.23-0.73); relapse-free survival 80% vs 64%. NEJM 2024. Basis for the June 2024 FDA approval of blinatumomab in consolidation regardless of MRD status; changed frontline adult ALL worldwide. Benefit persisted across age and MRD sensitivity.
