Determinants of survival in patients treated with CPX-351 for acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Leukocytosis at diagnosis, complex karyotype, and mutations of IDH1 and SRSF2 were correlated with lower survival in the univariable analysis. In the multivariable analysis, leukocytosis and complex karyotype retained their statistical significance.

Durvalumab and tremelimumab combination therapy achieved remarkable response in primary hepatic undifferentiated carcinoma with high PD-L1 expression. (PubMed, Clin J Gastroenterol)
Shortly after treatment, the patient developed cranial nerve palsies (III, VII, VIII), suspected to represent either an immune-related adverse event or Ramsay Hunt syndrome; his symptoms improved with prednisolone and valaciclovir, allowing Dur/Tre to be resumed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of primary hepatic undifferentiated carcinoma with high PD-L1 expression demonstrating a sustained response to Dur/Tre. This case suggests that PD-L1 expression may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting ICI responsiveness in this rare and aggressive tumor.

NCI-2019-03712: Testing the Effect of Taking Ruxolitinib and CPX-351 in Combination for the Treatment of Advanced Phase Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (clinicaltrials.gov)
P1/2, N=12, Terminated, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center | Completed --> Terminated; The study was originally planned to assess four escalating DLs of ruxolitinib (upto 40 mg twice daily), but was closed early due to slow enrollment and changing treatment landscape moving towards less intense approaches.

Clinical strategies for leukemia management: Recommendations from the Bridging the Gaps in Hematology Oncology Consensus Conference 2025. (PubMed, Leuk Res)
For ALL, recommendations highlighted avoiding transplant in most Philadelphia chromosome-positive patients achieving minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity by noting the high relapse risk with certain IKZF1, CDKN2A/B, and PAX5 aberrations, and administering blinatumomab regardless of MRD status in Philadelphia chromosome-positive and -negative ALL...Future directions include refining treatment sequencing, improving outcomes for high-risk subtypes, evaluating the role of HSCT in the era of novel therapies, and standardizing MRD assessment. This consensus report provides valuable expert insights to inform clinical practice and guide future research in leukemia.
