Abstract

, and post-blinatumomab MRD remission associated with survival. Following blinatumomab, 83% (15/18) of tested patients had low IgG levels. IgG seronegative status was observed in 83% (12/15) for varicella zoster, 35% (6/17) for herpes zoster, 18% (3/17) for cytomegalovirus, and 26% (5/17) for Epstein Barr virus. Blinatumomab produced encouraging results in children with R/R ALL and low disease burden bridging to definitive therapy. Incorporating baseline genetics and biomarkers may help identify subgroups likely to be responsive/resistant to therapy. Viral serological testing pre- and post-blinatumomab is recommended to optimize supportive and preemptive therapy.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08880018.2022.2049936 .
