Brief Summary
B-precursor ALL is an aggressive malignant disease. Therapy is usually stratified according to risk characteristics to ensure that appropriate treatment is administered to patients with high-risk of relapse. In general, pediatric treatment regimens are more intense than those employed in adults and include courses of combination chemotherapy. Standard of care chemotherapy is associated with considerable toxicity. There is a lack of novel treatment options for subjects who relapse or are refractory to treatment. Therefore, innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Blinatumomab is a bispecific single-chain antibody construct designed to link B cells and T cells resulting in T cell activation and a cytotoxic T cell response against CD19 expressing cells. This study will evaluate the event-free survival (EFS) after treatment with blinatumomab when compared to standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy. The effect of blinatumomab on overall survival and reduction of minimal residual disease compared to SOC chemotherapy will also be investigated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Kaplan Meier Estimate: Event-Free Survival (EFS; Primary Analysis)
EFS is calculated from the time of randomization until the date of relapse or M2 marrow (representative bone marrow aspirate or biopsy with ≥ 5% and \< 25% blasts) after having achieved a complete remission (CR), failure to achieve a CR at the end of treatment, second malignancy, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who failed to achieve a CR following treatment with investigational product (IP) or who died before the disease assessment at the end of treatment were considered treatment failures and assigned an EFS duration of 1 day. Participants still alive and event-free were censored on their last disease assessment date. Participants were said to be in CR when they had the following: * M1 marrow * Peripheral blood without blasts * Absence of extramedullary leukemic involvement Months are calculated as days from randomization date to event/censor date, divided by 30.5.
As of the primary analysis data cutoff date (17 July 2019), overall median follow-up time for EFS was 22.4 months.
Kaplan Meier Estimate: EFS (Final Analysis)
EFS is calculated from the time of randomization until the date of relapse or M2 marrow after having achieved a CR, failure to achieve a CR at the end of treatment, second malignancy, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who failed to achieve a CR following treatment with IP or who died before the disease assessment at the end of treatment were considered treatment failures and assigned an EFS duration of 1 day. Participants still alive and event-free were censored on their last disease assessment date. Participants were said to be in CR when they had the following: * M1 marrow * Peripheral blood without blasts * Absence of extramedullary leukemic involvement Months are calculated as days from randomization date to event/censor date, divided by 30.5.
At final analysis, overall median follow-up time for EFS was 51.9 months.
