Blinatumomab, a bispecific T cell engager antibody against CD19/CD3, and inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), an anti-CD22 antibody conjugated to calicheamicin, showed significant survival benefits among patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL [2, 3]. However, many cases of CD19 negative (CD19neg) relapses have been reported after CD19-targeted therapy [4] and the exact mechanisms are not sufficiently clear. Here, we present a case of CD19neg relapse of Ph-like ALL after blinatumomab therapy, which was successfully treated with InO, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Figure 1 (A)). Interestingly, although surface CD22 expression was absent in flow cytometry (FCM) before blinatumomab treatment, CD22 was present after blinatumomab relapse. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed the emergence of a novel point mutation in CD19 at CD19neg relapse, and RNA sequencing confirmed the negative conversion of CD19 expression. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital, and written informed consent was obtained from the patient. A 19-year-old man was transferred to our hospital because of fever and an elevated white blood cell count. Bone marrow (BM) aspiration revealed hypercellular BM with 95.6% peroxidase-negative lymphoblasts. Flow cytometry revealed positivity for CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, and CD79a and negativity for myeloperoxidase (MPO) and CD3 (Figure 1 (B); Supplemental Figure 1). The karyotype was 46, XY, t (8; 9)(p21; p24) identified by G-banding. The major/minor BCR/ABL fusion genes were negative by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis revealed JAK2 translocation (Figure 1 (E)). The patient was diagnosed with Ph-like ALL, and induction chemotherapy was initiated. Hematological complete remission (hCR) was achieved, although FCM-measurable residual disease (MRD) persisted. After the third consolidation therapy session, the disease relapsed. Unexpectedly, FCM revealed that the lymphoblasts were negative for CD22, but remained positive for CD19 (Figure 1 (C)). Blinatumomab treatment was initiated and hCR was confirmed. However, after the second cycle, BM aspiration showed slightly hypercellular BM with 81.8% blasts. The increased number of lymphoblasts was negative for CD19 but positive for CD22 (Figure 1 (D)). One cycle of InO was administered, and FCM-MRD-negative remission was achieved. The patient underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an HLA-matched brother. The conditioning regimen consisted of cyclophosphamide (120mg/kg) and total-body irradiation (12Gy). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of cyclosporine and shortterm methotrexate administration. Neutrophils were engrafted on day 23. Stage 1 skin and gastrointestinal acute GVHD developed and was successfully treated with prednisolone 0.5 mg/kg/day and beclomethasone
