A Study to Compare Blinatumomab Alone to Blinatumomab With Nivolumab in Patients Diagnosed With First Relapse B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

Is NCT04546399 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments for down syndrome.

Phase 2RecruitingNational Cancer Institute (NCI)NCT04546399Data as of Jun 2026Location: International · 4 countries

Treatment: Blinatumomab · Calaspargase Pegol · Cytarabine · Dexamethasone · Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate · Mercaptopurine · Methotrexate · Nivolumab · Pegaspargase · Pegcrisantaspase · Vincristine SulfateThis phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.

Are patients with BCR alterations eligible?

No. BCR Philadelphia chromosome is an exclusion criterion.

Are patients with MYC alterations eligible?

No. MYC translocation is an exclusion criterion.

What disease stage is eligible?

Stage FIRST RELAPSE is required.

Is there an age limit?

Yes. Patients must be 30 years or younger and at least 1 years old.
