Inotuzumab ozogamicin is an effective treatment for CD22-positive acute
undifferentiated leukemia: A case report
Abstract
Acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) is a rare subtype of leukemia that
expresses no lineage-specific markers; no optimal treatment for AUL has
been established. Here, we report a 16-year-old female with
CD22-positive refractory AUL who responded well to inotuzumab ozogamicin
(InO). Minimal residual disease negativity was achieved using InO,
followed by HLA-mismatched unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT).
Although grade II veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome
occurred, it improved immediately. She remained disease-free at 10
months post-BMT, without severe complications (grade III–IV). This case
demonstrates the feasibility of a treatment strategy using InO against
CD22-positive AUL.
