Blinatumomab is a bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T-cell engager that binds CD19 on B-lineage cells and CD3 on T-cells, connecting them to form a synapse that redirects T-cells to lyse CD19-positive cells. It is studied in Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
