In the first-in-human phase 1/2 AUGMENT 101 study, SNDX-5613 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and promising antileukemic activity in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory MLL-rearranged and NPM1-mutated acute leukemias. Read More ›

Patients with essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis enroll in various studies in both academic and community centers across the United States. The comparison of patient characteristics across these centers may provide valuable insight into the management of these myeloproliferative neoplasms. Read More ›

Thrombus formation in patients with myelofibrosis is a common marker of disease progression. The relationship between IPSS score and JAK mutation status may distinguish patients at high risk for thrombosis, which may serve as a guide to therapy decisions. Read More ›

JAK inhibitors are approved in myelofibrosis for relief of symptoms and improvement in spleen responses but have not been shown to impact disease progression. Tagraxofusp monotherapy holds promise for treating myelofibrosis patients who are refractory to JAK inhibitors based on early clinical data. Read More ›

TGFβ is a cytokine that enhances myelofibrosis disease progression. AVID200, a TGFβ1/3 inhibitor, may provide clinical benefit manifesting as improved platelet counts in patients with myelofibrosis who have thrombocytopenia. Read More ›

Safe and effective therapeutic options are needed in patients with advanced myelofibrosis and high-risk mutations. Bomedemstat demonstrated improvements in symptoms and spleen responses in patients previously treated with ruxolitinib. Read More ›

Gilteritinib plus azacitidine led to significantly higher composite complete remission rates but did not provide a survival advantage compared with azacitidine alone in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3mut+ AML ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy. Read More ›

In a retrospective analysis, upfront liposomal daunorubicin/cytarabine treatment was shown to accord an overall survival advantage compared with HMA + venetoclax, which, however, did not extend to complete response rates and recurrence-free survival. Read More ›

Results from an ongoing first-in-human phase 1/2 study indicated that the FLT3/SYK inhibitor HM43239 yielded a favorable safety profile and encouraging antileukemic activity in patients with relapsed/refractory AML regardless of FLT3 mutation status. Read More ›

Findings from a retrospective analysis suggested that venetoclax plus hypomethylating agent plus an FLT3 inhibitor led to significant improvement in clinical outcomes, in older and unfit patients with FLT3-mutated AML. Read More ›
