Blinatumomab Consolidation Post Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
brief summary
Based on the further need to improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) post autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) for DLBCL, the hematopoietic profile of patients following auto-SCT, the activity of blinatumomab in DLBCL and its favorable toxicity profile, the investigators propose a pilot study to test blinatumomab as consolidation therapy post auto-SCT for patients with DLBCL. The investigators hypothesize the blinatumomab consolidation will optimize the effector to target (E-T) ratio and aid in the eradication of remaining tumor cells, leading to decreased relapse and increased overall survival. In addition, since tumor burden will be at a minimum, infusional toxicities including neurologic toxicities may also be limited. The purpose of this pilot study is to study the feasibility and tolerability of blinatumomab consolidation post auto-SCT for patients with chemo-sensitive DLBCL undergoing auto-SCT.
