Abstract
The treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults remains challenging and novel therapies are needed. The antigen, CD19, is expressed by >90% of pre-B ALLs and represents an attractive therapeutic target. The bispecific T-cell-engaging antibody, blinatumomab, targets CD19 and has demonstrated encouraging results in minimal residual disease positive and relapsed/refractory pre-B ALL. In this review, we discuss in detail the mechanism of action and key pharmacologic aspects of blinatumomab. In addition, the preclinical studies, clinical studies and toxicities are summarized.
