Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of Belintoumab on the treatment of children with acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).Methods:The clinical data of 10 children with CD 19+ B-ALL who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2021 to May 2022 and treated with Belintoumab were analyzed retrospectively. Results:Among the 10 cases, there were 6 recurrent cases, 3 cases with persistent minimal residual disease (MRD) positive after an initial treatment, and 1 case complicated with invasive candidiasis.Before treatment, bone marrow blasts ≥0.25, and that ranged 0.05-<0.25 were detected in 2 cases and 1 case, respectively.Seven cases had a complete remission (CR) of bone marrow, 6 of which were MRD positive and 1 case was MRD negative.After treatment with Belintoumab, the CR rate was 66.7% (2/3). The overall MRD negative rate was 88.9% (8/9), and the negative rate in previously MRD positive children was 100% (6/6). The median follow-up time was 4.1 (1.6-10.0) months after the application of Belintoumab.The overall survival (OS) rate was 70.0% (7/10). Eight MRD negative children received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and the OS rate was 75% (6/8). Survived children did not relapse until the last follow-up visit.Fever (90%, 9/10) was the most common adverse events, followed by neutropenia (90%, 9/10). One case (10%, 1/10) of neurotoxicity was seizures (grade 2) and one case (10%, 1/10) suffered cytokine release syndrome (grade 2), which did not influence the therapeutic efficacy of Belintoumab after symptomatic treatment.Conclusions:Belintoumab is safe and effective on the treatment of children with recurrent/refractory CD 19+ B-ALL, and those with MRD positive who have achieved CR in bone marrow have a higher rate of turning negative.Belintoumab can also be used as a bridge scheme for CD 19+ B-ALL children who cannot tolerate chemotherapy.
