To examine the genomic determinants of outcome, we analyzed genomic and clinical data of 569 adults registered to the ECOG-ACRIN E1910 study of blinatumomab in BCR::ABL1-negative B-ALL (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02003222). We identified 23 molecular subtypes including the high-risk subtypes BCR::ABL1 (20%), BCR::ABL1-like (18%), low hypodiploid (14%) and KMT2A-R (12%), and 267 putative driver genes. We identified a subtype characterized by CEBPA overexpression or elevated CEBPB expression due to chromosomal translocation-mediated enhancer hijacking, or insertions downstream of CEBPA that generate neoenhancers. Attainment of MRD-negativity patients after induction and intensification chemotherapy was more common in PAX5alt, TCF3::PBX1 and ZNF384-R B-ALL, and less common in BCR::ABL1-like and KMT2A-R B-ALL. Integration of genomic and clinical data suggested that the addition of blinatumomab to chemotherapy was associated with improved relapse-free and overall survival for several B-ALL subtypes, including hyperdiploid, PAX5alt, PAX5 P80R, BCR::ABL1-like JAK-STAT and KMT2A-R B-ALL, although small sample sizes for several subtypes indicate that confirmation is required. Alteration of TP53 or mutations associated with myeloid clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) were identified in 15.3% and 9.8% of patients, respectively. The presence of these mutations was associated with older age at diagnosis and inferior outcome to chemotherapy. In summary, we define the landscape of genomic alterations of adult B-ALL, and identify genomic subtypes that may influence the efficacy of blinatumomab when combined with chemotherapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.2026033793","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]],"date-time":"2026-10-05T17:12:08Z","timestamp":1791220328000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1182\/blood.2019cm0000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Genomic
