primary Outcomes
  1. description
    At the end of the first treatment cycle (Day 29) a bone marrow aspiration/biopsy was performed and evaluated by the central MRD laboratory. Complete MRD response is defined as no polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of individual rearrangements of immunoglobulin (Ig)- or T-cell receptor (TCR)-genes detected after completion of the first cycle.

secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    Hematological RFS was measured from first dose of blinatumomab until the first assessment of documented relapse (either hematological or extramedullary), secondary leukemia, or death due to any cause. Participants without a documented relapse, or death due to any cause were censored at the time of their last hematological assessment. Participants who received chemotherapy for relapsed or persistent MRD or for any other reason after treatment with blinatumomab, or HSCT after treatment with blinatumomab, before hematological or extramedullary relapse, or death occurred were censored at the start of chemotherapy or HSCT, respectively. Hematological relapse was defined as unequivocal detection of \> 5% leukemia cells in bone marrow as measured by cytological, microscopic assessment, presence of circulating leukemia blasts, or extramedullary leukemia (whichever occurred first). The 18-month Kaplan-Meier estimate of hematological RFS is reported.
    measure
    Hematological Relapse-free Survival (RFS)
    time Frame
    18 months, up to the data cut-off date of 05 August 2015
  2. description
    Overall survival was measured from the first treatment with blinatumomab until death due to any cause. Participants who did not die were censored at their last contact date.

    Overall Survival
    time Frame
    Until the data cut-off date of 05 August 2015; median time on study was 18.3 months.
  3. description
    The mortality rate within 100 days after allogeneic HSCT was defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the percentage of participants dying within 100 days after the day of the first allogeneic HSCT.

    100-Day Mortality After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
    time Frame
    100 days after HSCT, as of the data cut-off date of 05 August 2015
  4. description
    Time to hematological relapse was measured from the start of treatment with blinatumomab until hematological or extramedullary relapse. Participants who died or received HSCT or post-blinatumomab chemotherapy after treatment with blinatumomab were censored at their last hematological assessment prior to death or HSCT or post-blinatumomab chemotherapy (whichever occurred first).
    measure
    Time to Hematological Relapse
    time Frame
    Until the data cut-off date of 05 August 2015; median time on study was 18.3 months.
  5. description
    The duration of MRD response was analyzed as the time from onset of MRD negativity until MRD or hematological relapse or date of last confirmation of negative MRD status. Participants who received chemotherapy or HSCT after treatment with blinatumomab, before hematological or extramedullary relapse were censored at the start of chemotherapy or HSCT, respectively. MRD relapse is defined as the reappearance of individual rearrangements of Ig- or TCR-genes ≥ lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for at least 1 individual marker measured by an assay with a sensitivity of minimum 10\^-4. Hematological relapse is defined as the unequivocal detection of \> 5% leukemia cells in bone marrow as measured by cytological or microscopic assessment, presence of circulating leukemia blasts, or extramedullary leukemia.

  6. description
    MRD level was measured by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on bone marrow and assessed by the central laboratory. An MRD level of 10\^-n corresponds to residual leukemia cells at a frequency of 1 per 10ⁿ bone marrow cells.

    Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated for severity according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4, as follows: Grade 1 - Mild AE; Grade 2 - Moderate AE; Grade 3 - Severe AE; Grade 4 - Life-threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5 - Death. The investigator used medical judgment to determine if there was a causal relationship (ie, related, unrelated) between an adverse event and blinatumomab. An AE was considered "serious" if it resulted in death, was life-threatening, required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption to conduct normal life functions, was a congenital anomaly or birth defect or was a medically important condition.
    measure
    Number of Participants With Adverse Events
    time Frame
    From the first dose of blinatumomab until 30 days after last dose; the median treatment duration was 55 days.

    The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) is a 30-question tool used to assess the overall quality of life in cancer patients. It consists of 15 domains: 1 global health status (GHS) scale, 5 functional scales (Physical, Role, Cognitive, Emotional, Social), and 9 symptom scales/items (Fatigue, Nausea and Vomiting, Pain, Dyspnea, Insomnia, Appetite Loss, Constipation, Diarrhea, Financial Impact). For each of these scales, scores range from 0 to 100. For the GHS and 5 functional scales a high score indicates better global health status/functioning and a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. For the 9 symptom scales, a high score indicates a higher level of symptoms, and a negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement in symptoms. The maximum changes from baseline to cycles 1 through 4 and the change from baseline to the end of the core study are reported.
    measure
    Change From Baseline in EORTC-QLQ-C30 Scales
    time Frame
    Baseline and the end of each treatment cycle (day 29 of each cycle) and 30 days after end of the last infusion (end of the core study, a maximum of 26 weeks).

    The EQ-5D is a self-administered questionnaire which captures 3 basic types of information: a descriptive profile (health state index) and the overall health rating using a visual analog scale. The health state index measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression on scales from no problems (score = 1), some problems (score = 2), to extreme problems (score = 3). For each dimension the mean change from baseline was calculated at the end of each treatment cycle and at the end of the core study. The maximum observed change from baseline during cycles 1 to 4 and the change from baseline at the end of the core study are reported for each dimension.

Full study description
brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) is effective, safe and tolerable in the treatment of ALL patients with minimal residual disease.
detailed Description
The detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) after induction therapy and/or consolidation therapy is an independent prognostic factor for poor outcome of adult ALL. No standard treatments are available for patients with MRD-positive B-precursor ALL. Blinatumomab (MT103) 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 cluster of differentiation (CD)19 expressing cells. The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T-cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) is effective, safe and tolerable in the treatment of ALL patients with minimal residual disease. Participants will receive up to four 4-week cycles of intravenous blinatumomab treatment followed by an infusion-free period of 14 days. A safety follow-up will be performed 30 days after the end of the last infusion and efficacy follow-ups will occur until 24 months after treatment start. Participants will be followed for up to 5 years after the start of treatment for survival.
