Extramedullary failure is common during blinatumomab therapy for relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A history of extramedullary disease predicts an inferior response to blinatumomab therapy and a higher risk for relapse/progression at extramedullary sites. Most extramedullary failure cases retain CD19 expression.
