AACR 2022 | Genomic determinants of response to blinatumomab

In this video, Yaqi Zhao, MSc, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, discusses the genomic determinants of response to blinatumomab in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Ms Zhao explains a study which found that blinatumomab resistance is associated with deleterious mutations in CD22, and that patients with the high-risk (Ph)-like subtype have a superior response rate to blinatumomab. Ms Zhao also briefly discusses a recent study analyzing bone marrow samples from 4 patients with B-ALL which found that resistance to blinatumomab is associated with T cell exhaustion. This interview took place at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022 in New Orleans, LA.
