Nicholas Short, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses results from a Phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of hyper-CVAD with sequential blinatumomab, with or without inotuzumab ozogamicin, in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Overall, results demonstrated that the addition of inotuzumab ozogamicin to hyper-CVAD with sequential blinatumomab is safe and highly effective as frontline treatment of Ph- ALL. High rates of measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity were achieved and survival data was encouraging, including a high overall survival (OS) rate. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in New Orleans, LA.
