Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL) that is CD19 positive using a medicine called MK-1045. MK-1045 is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. This trial will compare MK-1045 to a standard immunotherapy called blinatumomab. The goals of this trial are to learn if more people who receive MK-1045 have no cancer cells in their bone marrow compared to people who receive blinatumomab and if people who receive MK-1045 live longer compared to people who receive blinatumomab.
This study has 2 parts: Part 1 is a dose optimization phase of MK-1045. Part 2 is a randomized phase comparing the efficacy and safety of MK-1045 versus blinatumomab and will use the recommended dose of MK-1045 determined in Part 1

Time frame: 3 treatment cycles (up to approximately 126 days; each cycle is up to 42 days; cycle lengths vary between cycle and arm)
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE in Study Part 1
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who discontinue study intervention due to an AE will be presented.

Overall Survival (OS) in Study Part 2
OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to approximately 7 years
Overall survival (OS) in Study Part 1
OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to approximately 7 years
Percentage of Participants that achieve Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in Study Part 1 and Part 2
MRD is defined as no detectable leukemia cells below a threshold of at least 10\^-4.

Percentage of Participants that achieve CR/CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) in Study Part 1 and Part 2
For participants who demonstrate CR or CRh or CRi, duration of remission is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or CRh or CRi (whichever is earlier) until disease progression, relapse, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. CR is defined as: * No circulating lymphoblasts * Extramedullary disease negative * Trilineage hematopoiesis (TLH) and \<5% leukemic blasts * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/μL * Platelets ≥100,000/μL * No platelet transfusions in the last 7 days * No administration of short-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and long-acting G-CSF in the last 3 and 14 days, respectively CRh is the same as CR but with less stringent requirements for platelet count (≥50,000/μL) and ANC (≥500/μL). CRi is the same as CR but without recovery of platelet count or without recovery of ANC (platelets \<100,000/μL and ANC ≥1000/μL or platelets ≥100,000/μL and ANC \<1000/μL.
