About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to establish a clear vaccination protocol for pediatric patients (less than 21 years old) who have received treatment for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma. The main study aims are:
* Evaluate the persistence of protective immunity to routine childhood vaccinations in participants with B-ALL/Ly who have received blinatumomab. * To determine whether revaccination in participants with non-protective titers leads to restored humoral immunity.
Researchers will compare results from participants who have received immunotherapy to those who have not received immunotherapy to see if immunotherapy versus other chemotherapeutic drugs adversely affect the protective immunity acquired through vaccination.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosis of B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma
≥1 year old and up to 21 years old at diagnosis
Informed consent provided, and if applicable, child assent provided
Must have received all vaccinations routinely administered during first year of life
Disqualifiers
Relapsed/refractory disease at any time
Received or will require a bone marrow transplant and/or cellular therapy
Pregnancy
Trial population
Potential participants will be identified through referrals and from medical records. Prospective participants are those who have been captured prior to starting chemotherapy, and retrospective participants are those who have been captured after starting chemotherapy or have finished chemotherapy within the previous 12 months.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Proportion of participants with protective serum antibody titers
Participants will have antibody titers evaluated as standard of care. Titers evaluated include: tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae type b \[Hib\], Hepatitis B, Streptococcus pneumoniae \[pneumococcal\], Varicella Zoster Virus, and Measles
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of participants who achieve seroconversion (i.e., transition from non-protective to protective antibody titers)
Will assess whether revaccination restores protective immunity in participants with non-protective titers after blinatumomab
Other outcomes
Comparison of protective titer rates between Case and Control groups
Comparison of protective titer rates between participants who received blinatumomab and those who did not, adjusting for age, treatment intensity, and time since last vaccine dose
