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.

A PBD-dimer containing antibody drug conjugate targeting CCRL2 for high-risk MDS/AML. (PubMed, Res Sq)
The anti-CCRL2 ADC demonstrated strong CCRL2-selective cytotoxicity against cell lines derived from MDS/AML patients with TP53 mutations and erythroid features, surpassing the cytotoxic effects observed with gemtuzumab and PBD-conjugated anti-CD33 and anti-CD123 ADCs...This agent also suppressed the leukemic growth of TP53- mutated MDS/AML cell line xenografts, improving mice survival and decreasing the leukemic burden in patient-derived TP53 -mutated MDS/AML xenografts. In conclusion, our study introduces CCRL2 as a potential new therapeutic target in high-risk MDS/AML.
