Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) T-cell therapy has been shown to have excellent efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). But many patients are refractory to anti-CD19-CAR T-cell therapy or relapse again. Five patients with R/R B-ALL did not respond to anti-CD19-CAR T-cell therapy or had a disease progression again after CAR-T cell therapy. They received a salvage therapy of Blinatumomab. The clinical response, CD19 expression on ALL cells, the proportion of CD3 +  T cells, level of cytokine levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), hematological toxicity, grade of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxic syndrome (ICANS) were observed in salvage therapy of Blinatumomab. Four patients obtained CR/CRi, even in patients without high expression of CD19 in B-ALL cells, while the other patient received NR after Blinatumomab therapy. The CD19 expression on ALL cells, the proportion of CD3 +  T cells, and CD3 + CD8 +  T cells were deficient in Pt 5, who obtained PR in Blinatumomab therapy. One patient (Pt 3) was diagnosed with grade 0 hematological toxicity. The other four patients were diagnosed with grades 2–3 of hematological toxicity. The CRS was grade 0/one patient, grade 1/three, and grade 2/one. The ICANS was grade 0/four patients, grade 1/one. Rhizopus microsporus pneumonia and cryptococcal encephalopathy in two patients were controlled during Blinatumomab therapy. Blinatumomab could be an effective and safe salvage therapy in patients with R/R B-ALL who failed/progressed after anti-CD19-CAR T therapy, even in R/R B-ALL patients without high expression of CD19 in B-ALL cells, patients with CNS leukemia or co-infection.Key messagesSome R/R B-ALL patients did not respond to anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy or had a disease progression again.
