Novel Therapeutic Approaches in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Bispecific antibodies such as blinatumomab (anti-CD19), antibody-drug conjugates like inotuzumab ozogamicin (anti-CD22), and monoclonal antibodies such as daratumumab (anti-CD38) have demonstrated efficacy in relapsed or refractory disease with improved safety profiles. The integration of targeted and immune-based therapies into conventional regimens represents a decisive step toward precision medicine, aiming to enhance survival outcomes while reducing treatment-related toxicity and improving quality of life in ALL children. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of ALL pathobiology and therapeutic approaches, with particular emphasis on the expanding role of immunotherapeutic strategies in pediatric disease.

BRUIN CLL-313: Randomized Phase III Trial of Pirtobrutinib Versus Bendamustine Plus Rituximab in Untreated Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
Pirtobrutinib demonstrated superiority over BendaR in IRC-assessed PFS in treatment-naïve CLL/SLL. OS trends favored pirtobrutinib despite the study design allowing for crossover. Pirtobrutinib was well tolerated, consistent with its known safety profile, and more favorable than BendaR.

Where do immunotherapies stand in management of acute leukemia in adults? (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
Blinatumomab and inotuzumab ozogamicin have become established treatments, enhancing remission rates, measurable residual disease clearance, and overall survival in relapsed/refractory disease, and these agents, are now increasingly incorporated into frontline therapy...In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), gemtuzumab ozogamicin has shown significant clinical benefits, particularly in molecularly defined subsets...This review highlights how immunotherapy has reshaped treatment paradigms across acute leukemias, underscoring successful experiences in B-ALL. These insights emphasize the need for continued innovation to overcome existing hurdles in AML and T-ALL, ultimately aiming to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.

Evaluation of multi-antigen targeting ADCC strategies in pediatric BCP-ALL. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
CD24 therefore emerged as an effective target in BCP-ALL, and the combination of CD24 and CD123 as a potential effective double-targeting strategy. The combination of different recognition modalities (eg, a CAR and CD16) should be tested to determine whether it provides synergistic cytotoxic activity in triple targeting.

Impact of TP53 mutations and their variant allele frequency in adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (PubMed, Blood)
Patients ≥60 years with Ph-negative B-cell ALL and TP53 VAF ≥45% had poor outcomes, with 4-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of 28%, driven primarily by increased relapse risk, even among patients treated with frontline inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) and/or blinatumomab. TP53 persistence at remission occurred in 44% of tested patients and was associated with increased ALL relapse risk. These results demonstrate that TP53 VAF is prognostic in older patients with Ph-negative B-cell ALL; high VAF may increase relapse risk but is not independently associated with survival in younger patients.
