| Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities | Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined as any Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 grade = 3 adverse event related to blinatumomab, excluding specific CTCAE grade = 3 adverse events considered consistent with the current known safety profile of blinatumomab, CTCAE grade = 3 fever or infection, and laboratory parameters of CTCAE grade = 3 not considered clinically relevant and/or responding to routine medical management. | Days 1 to 14 | |
| Primary | Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With a Best Response of Complete Remission or Complete Remission With Only Partial Hematological Recovery Within 2 Cycles of Treatment | Hematological assessments were performed from bone marrow biopsy samples. All hematological assessments of bone marrow were reviewed in a central reference laboratory. Hematological remissions were defined by the following criteria: Complete Remission (CR) is defined as = 5% blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and full recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets > 100,000/µl and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,000/µl. Complete Remission With Partial Hematological Recovery (CRh*) is defined as = 5% blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and partial recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets > 50,000/µl and ANC > 500/µl. |
Within the first 2 cycles of treatment, 12 weeks | |
| Primary | Expansion Cohort: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Related TEAEs | TEAEs are defined as those that start between the start of the first infusion of blinatumomab and 30 days after the end of the last infusion during the treatment period. The severity of adverse events was assessed by the investigator according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 as follows: Grade 1 - Mild AE; Grade 2 - Moderate AE; Grade 3 - Severe AE; Grade 4 - Life-threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5 - Death. The investigator used medical judgment to determine if there was a causal relationship (ie, related, unrelated) between an adverse event and blinatumomab. |
From the start of the first infusion to 30 days after the end of the last infusion; median (min, max) treatment duration was 55.6 (25, 140) and 28.0 (8, 56) days in the adult and pediatric expansion cohorts, respectively. | |
| Secondary | Phase 1b Adults: Percentage of Participants With a Best Response of Complete Remission or Complete Remission With Only Partial Hematological Recovery Within 2 Cycles of Treatment | Hematological assessments were performed from bone marrow biopsy samples. All hematological assessments of bone marrow were reviewed in a central reference laboratory. Hematological remissions were defined by the following criteria: Complete Remission (CR) is defined as = 5% blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and full recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets > 100,000/µl and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,000/µl. Complete Remission With Partial Hematological Recovery (CRh*) is defined as = 5% blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and partial recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets > 50,000/µl and ANC > 500/µl |
Within the first 2 cycles of treatment, 12 weeks | |
| Secondary | Phase 1b Pediatric: Percentage of Participants With M1 Remission Within 2 Cycles of Treatment | M1 remission for pediatric participants was defined as = 5% blasts (M1 bone marrow) in the bone marrow and no evidence of disease. | The first 2 cycles of treatment, 12 weeks | |
| Secondary | Phase 1b and Phase 2: Duration of Response | Duration of response was calculated from the date of bone marrow aspiration when response (CR/CRh*) was detected for the first time during the first 2 cycles of treatment until the earlier of the following events: the date of bone marrow aspiration at which hematological relapse or progressive disease (PD) was first detected, the date of diagnosis on which the hematological or extra medullary relapse was documented, the date of death if patient died due to PD the date of end of induction phase if primary reason for treatment termination was hematological or extramedullary relapse. For a responder who did not report an event and was alive during the study, the end date of duration (censoring) was based on the date of the last available bone marrow aspiration prior to the data cutoff date for the analysis. Participants with response who did not report an event and who died due to reasons other than PD, were censored on the date of death, with death treated as a competing risk. |
Median (minimum [min], maximum [max]) follow-up time was 6.3 (2.4, 13.6) months for Phase 1b and 26.7 (3.0, 28.5) months for Phase 2. | |
| Secondary | Phase 1b and Phase 2: Relapse-free Survival | Relapse-free survival (RFS) was defined for participants who achieved a response (CR/CRh*) during the first 2 cycles of treatment. RFS was calculated from the date of bone marrow aspiration when response was detected for the first time to the date of bone marrow aspiration at which hematological relapse was first detected or the date of diagnosis on which the hematological or extra medullary relapse was documented or the date of death due to any cause, whichever was earlier. Participants who did not experience hematological relapse and did not die were censored on the date of the last available bone marrow aspiration prior to the data cutoff date for the analysis. | Median (min, max) follow-up time was 6.3 (2.4, 13.6) months for Phase 1b and 26.7 (3.0, 28.5) months for Phase 2. | |
| Secondary | Phase 1b and Phase 2: Overall Survival | Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the start date of blinatumomab infusion in the first treatment cycle. All deaths were counted as events on the date of death. Participants still alive were censored on the last documented visit date or the date of the last phone contact when the participant was last known to have been alive. For participants who withdrew their informed consent, only information until the date of withdrawal was used in the analysis. |
Median (min, max) follow-up time was 6.3 (2.4, 13.6) months for Phase 1b and 26.7 (3.0, 28.5) months for Phase 2. | |
| Secondary | Phase 2: Best Overall Response Within 2 Cycles of Treatment | Best response was defined as one of the following: CR: = 5% blasts in the bone marrow (BM); No evidence of disease; Full recovery of peripheral blood counts: Platelets > 100,000/µl, and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,000/µl CRh*: = 5% blasts in BM; No evidence of disease; Partial recovery of peripheral blood counts: Platelets > 50,000/µl, and ANC > 500/µl CRi: CR with incomplete count recovery without CRh* Blast free hypoplastic or aplastic BM: = 5 % blasts in BM; No evidence of disease; Insufficient recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets = 50,000/µl and/or ANC = 500/µl Partial Remission: BM blasts > 5 to < 25% with at least a 50% reduction from baseline Hematological Relapse: > 5% blasts in BM or blasts in peripheral blood after documented CR/CRh* during the study PD: An increase from baseline of = 25% of BM blasts or an absolute increase of = 5,000 cells/µL in the number of circulating leukemia cells. |
Within the first 2 cycles of treatment, 12 weeks | |
| Secondary | Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Received an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) During Blinatumomab Induced Remission | Participants who were eligible for allogeneic HSCT were those who achieved remission (complete response or complete response with partial recovery of peripheral blood counts) after 2 cycles of blinatumomab treatment, and no further anti-leukemic medication was given before HSCT. | Median (min, max) follow-up time was 26.7 (3.0, 28.5) months. | |
| Secondary | Phase 2: 100-Day Mortality After Allogeneic HSCT | The analysis of 100-day mortality after allogeneic HSCT was assessed for all participants who received an allogeneic HSCT while in any CR following treatment with blinatumomab. 100-day mortality after allogeneic HSCT was calculated relative to the date of allogeneic HSCT. Participants still alive alive were censored on the last documented visit date or the date of the last phone contact when the patient was last known to have been alive. The 100-day mortality rate after allogeneic HSCT was defined as the percentage of participants having died up to 100 days after allogeneic HSCT estimated using the estimated time to death in percent calculated by Kaplan-Meier methods. |
100 days, from the date of allogeneic HSCT; median (min, max) follow-up time was 26.7 (3.0, 28.5) | |
| Secondary | Phase 1b and Phase 2: Number of Participants With TEAEs | TEAEs are defined as those that start between the start of the first infusion of blinatumomab and 30 days after the end of the last infusion during the treatment period.
