Recent progress in the treatment and prevention of GVHD with post-transplant cyclophosphamide has also rendered transplantation from alternative donors feasible and safer, thus improving access to patients without HLA-identical donors.

The use of blinatumomab has recently expanded to multiple B-ALL treatment settings. Despite the efficacy of blinatumomab, its use can be challenging in the real-world because of limited experience with its administration and management of toxicities. Optimal use and sequencing of blinatumomab is critical to improve outcomes, reduce undesired toxicities, and decrease discontinuation rates related to such toxicities. Herein, we discuss strategies to address the unique adverse effects of blinatumomab and ways to optimize its administration and integration into the treatment backbone of B-ALL.
