Iyad Sultan: A Mixed Bag in Pediatric B-ALL Treatment!

Quoting Iyad Sultan, Chairman and Professor, Department of Pediatrics, King Hussein Cancer Center and a Board Member of OncoDaily, on X/Twitter:

A Mixed Bag in Pediatric B-ALL Treatment!

AALL1331 Phase III trial finds blinatumomab greatly improves DFS & OS in 2/3 of Low-Risk B-ALL kids with combined BM ± EM relapse, making this a new standard of care.

 4-yr DFS: 72.7% vs 53.7% (chemo)
4-yr OS: 97.1% vs 84.8% (chemo)

However, no significant difference was observed for patients with isolated EM relapse. More research is needed.”
