Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Blinatumomab with Standard Chemotherapy in Treating Newly Diagnosed Patients with B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies how well adding inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy works in treating patients with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody called inotuzumab linked to a drug called ozogamicin. It is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD22, and delivers ozogamicin to kill them. Bispecific antibodies such as blinatumomab connect a part of the patient's immune system called T-cells to cancer cells and help the immune system kill the cancer cell. Blinatumomab targets cancer cells through a specific molecule called CD19. Standard chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy may be better at getting rid of leukemia in the blood and bone marrow than giving standard chemotherapy alone.
