Blinatumomab in De Novo AYA ALL - Dr Matthew Greenwood

In this episode, host HemaSphere Scientific Editor Dr Charley de Bock speaks with Associate Professor Dr Matthew Greenwood about the SUBLIME (ALL09) trial, which explores replacing consolidation chemotherapy with blinatumomab in adolescents and young adults with B‑cell ALL. They discuss why immunotherapy may outperform traditional cytotoxic approaches, how MRD‑guided treatment is reshaping risk stratification, and what future protocols might look like as genomic and immune‑response data are integrated in real time. Dr. Greenwood also shares upcoming innovations—including menin inhibitors, venetoclax‑based MRD targeting, and adaptive platform designs—along with honest insights into the challenges of running clinical trials across Australia.
