Abstract
In patients with relapsed/refractory Burkitt lymphoma (r/r BL), overall survival (OS) is poor, and effective therapies and evidence for the best therapy are lacking. The monoclonal antibody blinatumomab may represent a novel option. However, only limited data on the use of blinatumomab in r/r BL are so far available. This multi-center, retrospective case series investigated nine patients with r/r BL treated with blinatumomab. The safety of blinatumomab was assessed with respect to frequency and severity of adverse effects (AEs) infections, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity. Progression-free survival (PFS), OS and overall response rate (ORR) were analyzed to assess efficacy. No AEs > grade 2 occurred, and AEs were generally treatable and fully reversible. The best response to blinatumomab was complete remission in 3/9 patients and partial remission in 2/9, whilst 4/9 presented with progressive disease. Median PFS and OS were 2 and 6 months, respectively, ranging from 5 days to 32 months and 11 days to 32 months, respectively. Blinatumomab treatment was a successful bridging treatment to stem cell transplantation in 3/9 patients. The response to blinatumomab varied widely, and only one patient survived longer term, but activity in patients with r/r BL was evident in some patients, with its use being safe, warranting its prospective investigation.
