Blinatumomab Induced Response of Multiply Refractory Multiple Myeloma in the Context of Secondary Pre-B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Abstract: We report the case of a 70 year old female who developed Pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) while undergoing lenalidomide therapy for multiple myeloma (MM). Molecular studies of the ALL revealed hypodiploid karyotype with distinct genetic changes other than those seen in prior myeloma samples. She underwent cytoreductive therapy with prednisone and cyclophosphamide and then received induction with blinatumomab. After her first cycle, she achieved a MRD negative complete remission of her ALL and a deepeni… Show more

“…The patient, a 70-year-old female, developed pre-B-ALL while undergoing lenalidomide therapy for MM, for which she was in partial remission. She underwent cytoreductive therapy and began blinatumomab induction, which resulted in a complete remission of her ALL and a very good partial response of her MM by International Myeloma Working Group criteria (172). Although this case is promising for the application of blinatumomab to other MM patients, it is important to point out that this patient's MM cells stained positive for CD19, which is atypical for MM tumors (172).…”

“…It has been proposed that CD19 loss aids MM cell proliferation (170), and this loss precludes MM patients from benefitting from anti-CD19 therapies. However, there have been reports of R/R MM patients responding to anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapies in combination with other treatments (171,172). Additionally, super-resolution microscopy has shown very low CD19 expression on MM cells, which was undetectable by flow cytometry but may be accessible to antibodies and modified effector cells (173).…”

“…Pratz et al reported on a patient with RRMM and secondary ALL who received two cycles of blinatumomab at a dose of 28 µg/d. This patient achieved a MRD negative CR of ALL and a very good partial remission (VGPR) of MM [ 58 ]. Moreover, a systematic investigation of blinatumomab for the treatment of RRMM patients was intended within a pilot study (NCT03173430).…”
