Phase 2 Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Subcutaneous Blinatumomab in Patients With Measurable Residual Disease Positive B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Participants of age ≥18 years with documented B-cell ALL with recurrent or persistent MRD (at a sensitivity of 10-6) while in morphological remission (Includes Ph-, Ph+ and Ph-like).

ECOG Performance status of 0, 1, or 2.

Adequate organ function with creatinine less than or equal to 1.6 mg/dl, bilirubin less than or equal to 3.5 mg/dl and ALT and/or AST less than or equal to 5 times institutional upper limit of normal.

The effects of blinatumomab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because bispecific T-cell engager agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. (Refer to Pregnancy Assessment Policy MD Anderson Institutional Policy # CLN1114). This includes all female Participants, between the onset of menses (as early as 8 years of age) and 55 years unless the Participant presents with an applicable exclusionary factor which may be one of the following:

* Postmenopausal (no menses in greater than or equal to 12 consecutive months).

* History of hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

* Ovarian failure (Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Estradiol in menopausal range, who have received Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy).

* History of bilateral tubal ligation or another surgical sterilization procedure.

Approved methods of birth control are as follows: Hormonal contraception (i.e. birth control pills, injection, implant, transdermal patch, vaginal ring), Intrauterine device (IUD), Tubal Ligation or hysterectomy, Subject/Partner post vasectomy, Implantable or injectable contraceptives, and condoms plus spermicide. Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however, periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of blinatumomab administration.

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
