Brief Summary
This is a research study to find out if a drug called blinatumomab is effective for treating patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) or measurable residual disease (MRD) CD19-positive mixed phenotypic acute leukemia (MPAL). Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) means that there are a small number of cancer cells remaining after treatment

Study Arms (2)
Subjects with R/R CD19-positive MPAL
EXPERIMENTALCohort A: Evaluate the efficacy of blinatumomab to achieve the best morphologic response after the first two cycles of therapy in subjects with morphologic R/R CD19-positive MPAL * The treatment of blinatumomab consists of induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy * Subject will receive study drug blinatumomab by continuous IV infusion (CIV) * Each treatment cycle consists of 28 days of blinatumomab CIV followed by a 14±3 days treatment-free interval for induction, 28±3 days treatment-free interval for consolidation, and 56±3 days treatment-free interval for maintenance * The initial dose of blinatumomab is 9 mcg/day for 7 days. The target dose for rest of treatment is 28 mcg/day
Subjects with CD19-positive MPAL in CR/CRh/CRi/CRp and detectable MRD
EXPERIMENTALCohort B: Evaluate the efficacy of blinatumomab to achieve MRD-negativity in subjects with CD19-positive MPAL in CR, or CRh, or CRi or CRp after receiving at least one chemotherapy block of standard ALL or AML treatment with MRD-positivity at a level of ≥ 0.1% using an assay with a minimum sensitivity of 0.01% * The treatment of blinatumomab consists of induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy * Subject will receive study drug blinatumomab by continuous IV infusion (CIV) * Each treatment cycle consists of 28 days of blinatumomab CIV followed by a 14±3 days treatment-free interval for induction, 28±3 days treatment-free interval for consolidation, and 56±3 days treatment-free interval for maintenance. * The dose of blinatumomab is 28 mcg/day
Interventions
Blinatumomab (BLINCYTO , AMG 103, formerly also known as MT103 or bscCD19xCD3) is a novel single chain antibody construct in the class of the bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®). Blinatumomab directs CD-3 positive effector memory T cells to CD19-positive target cells (Hoffmann et al, 2005; Dreier et al, 2002). The targeted CD19 antigen is constitutively expressed on normal B cells throughout a person's lifetime (Smet et al, 2011) and is highly conserved in B-cell malignancies (Tedder, 2009; Wang et al, 2012).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed R/R CD19-positive MPAL based on the WHO criteria, OR CD19-positive MPAL in CR/CRh/CRi/CRp after at least one chemotherapy block of standard ALL or AML therapy with detectable MRD ≥ 0.1%. Primary refractory MPAL is defined by absence of CR/CRh/CRi/CRp after at least one cycle of standard AML/ALL induction therapy. A patient has relapsed MPAL if they achieved a CR/CRh/CRi/CRp after induction therapy (CR1) and has then relapsed during, or after continuation of therapy.
- Age 18 years and older
- Subjects who have undergone allo-HSCT are eligible if they are ≥ 4 weeks post stem cell infusion, have no evidence of GVHD \> Grade 2, and are at least ≥ 1 week off all immunosuppressive therapy
- Previous cytotoxic chemotherapy (except for hydroxyurea) must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to day 1 of treatment on the study. Subjects with hematologic malignancies are expected to have hematologic abnormalities at study entry.
- ECOG performance status \< 3
- Subjects must have organ function as below:
- Direct bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dL
- AST/ALT/Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 5 X institutional upper limit of normal
- Serum creatinine ≤ 3 mg/dL
- Subjects with a history of CNS leukemia must be clinically stable with a flow cytometric clear CSF in the 2 weeks prior to day 1 of blinatumomab administration. Subjects with history of CNS leukemia in Cohort A should have received one dose of intrathecal chemotherapy in the 4 weeks prior to day 1 of blinatumomab administration. Subject can receive subsequent prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document
- Agree to comply with the study requirements and agree to come to the clinic/hospital for required study visits
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects receiving any other investigational agents, or concurrent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy not including corticosteroids or hydroxyurea
- Subjects with acute leukemia with any of the following cytogenetic abnormalities:
- t(15;17)(q24;q21) PML/RARA, t(8;21)(q22;q22) RUNX1/RUNX1T1, inv(16)(p13q22)/t(16;16)(p13;q22) CBFB-MYH11
- A history or presence of clinically relevant CNS pathology (e.g., as epilepsy, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injuries, dementia, cerebellar disease, psychosis)
- Hyperleukocytosis with \> 50,000 blasts/µL. Hydroxyurea for blast count control is permitted before starting treatment and up to maximum of 10 days after starting treatment on the study. The WBC need not reach 50,000/µL to start hydroxyurea during protocol; the decision to start hydroxyurea during this time is at the discretion of the treating physician
- Active, uncontrolled infection; subjects with infection under active treatment and controlled with antimicrobials are eligible
- Pregnant women
- Uncontrolled undercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled active seizure disorder, or psychiatric illness/social situations that per site Principal Investigator's judgment would limit compliance with study requirements
