Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)

This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that BCR::ABL1 status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Blinatumomab in patients with Acute Lymphoid Leukemia.

The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved blinatumomab for reimbursement as a monotherapy treatment option for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory B cell precusor (BCP) Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have received no prior salvage treatment for relapsed / refractory (R/R) disease and are considered eligible for transplant (e.g., as a bridge-to-transplant).

This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Service Executive:

Treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory B cell precursor (BCP) Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) who have received no prior salvage treatment for relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease and are considered eligible for transplant (i.e. as a bridge-to-transplant).
