Nicholas Short, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses an analysis of the predictors of survival outcomes with and without allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) after first salvage therapy with blinatumomab and/or inotuzumab ozogamicin for relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Dr Short highlights that patients with higher-risk disease, such as those who do not achieve early measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity or have a short duration of first remission, benefit from transplant as consolidative therapy, whereas lower-risk patients do not. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
