Summary

This trial is testing if a drug called blinatumomab is safe and effective for people with a certain type of leukemia.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and minimal residual disease can join. They must have certain blood cell counts, normal liver/kidney function, be in good physical condition (ECOG PS of 0 or 1), not pregnant, able to wear health monitoring devices, and have a caregiver. Exclusions include CNS disorders, autoimmune diseases with CNS involvement, recent chemotherapy, other malignancies within the past two years (with exceptions), active infections or graft versus host disease.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety of outpatient Blinatumomab treatment for leukemia patients with minimal residual disease. It involves wearing a Current Wearable Health Monitoring System to track patient's health status during treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Blinatumomab may cause side effects like allergic reactions to its components, nerve problems that could affect coordination and speech (neurotoxicity), infusion-related reactions such as fever or chills, fatigue, headaches and digestive issues.
