Blinatumomab, a bispecific T-cell engaging CD3-CD19 antibody, is highly effective in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) even after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, patients who failed with Blina have a dismal outcome. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is one of the therapeutic options after blinatumomab failure. We report a young man who exhibited bone marrow (BM) relapse of B-ALL following haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Remission was not achieved after Blinotumomab treatment, thus Inotuzumab was administered. A complete remission with no signs of minimal residual disease was achieved after a single cycle of Inotuzumab. The second haplo-HSCT from another donor was successful. Conclusion The present case demonstrate an opportunity of successful inotuzumab therapy after failure of allo-HSCT and blinotumomab treatment.

Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a heterogeneous disease, due to the expression of different biological and clinical risk factors, for which allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an effective consolidation therapy. The non-relapse mortality of alloHSCT remains significantly higher compared with that of conventional chemotherapy; therefore, one of the main challenges in the care of ALL is to establish a more precise prognostic definition to select patients who could take advantage from an alloHSCT. Currently, the use of minimal residual disease following induction and early consolidation therapy has improved the prognostic accuracy in defining ALL risk class. In Philadelphia-positive ALL, the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors pre and post alloHSCT appears to improve outcomes significantly and, in the absence of specifically designed clinical trials, alloHSCT remains the most effective post- remission therapy. Nowadays, alloHSCT can be performed according to different modalities encompassing the use of different conditioning regimens, as well as different donors and stem cell source, with a significant accessibility to transplant.
