Blinatumomab and Auto-HSCT Sandwich Strategy as Consolidation Therapy for B-ALL

Enrolled patients received induction chemotherapy with the IVP regimen and two cycles of consolidation chemotherapy: high-dose cytarabine (Ara-c) + pegaspargase (± Tyrosine kinase inhibitors ,TKI) and methotrexate (MTX) + pegaspargase (± TKI). Sequential treatment with blinatumomab was then administered. After the first treatment with blinatumomab, autologous stem cell mobilization and collection were performed. Following successful stem cell collection, autologous stem cell transplantation was conducted. Starting from the third month after autologous stem cell transplantation, the second maintenance treatment with blinatumomab was administered, with one cycle every three months, for a total of four cycles. Long-term follow-up monitoring was then conducted. The follow-up period for this study was two years, and data on two-year LFS, OS, and NRM rates were collected.
