Unfortunately, most efforts have proved unfruitful, as the poor prognosis observed in this disease has only attained little improvement in the past 40 years. Recently, deeper understanding of the immune system and its interaction with malignant tumors have allowed significant advances in immunotherapy. Consistent with this, some of the most promising approaches are those that involve T-cell redirection to the tumor site, such as bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs). These recombinant antibodies bridge cytotoxic T-cells to tumor cells, inducing target cell-dependent polyclonal T-cell activation/proliferation, which in turn results in elimination of bound tumor cells. Blinatumomab, an anti-CD19 BiTE, received FDA approval in 2014 for Precursor B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In the past decade, it has ...
