GO-TAG: Tagraxofusp-erzs, an IL-3 Diphtheria Fusion Protein, in Combination With Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory AML (clinicaltrials.gov)
P1, N=7, Terminated, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins | N=36 --> 7 | Trial completion date: Dec 2028 --> Jul 2025 | Active, not recruiting --> Terminated; Upon analysis of the first 7 participants accrued, it was determined that this combination treatment is not efficacious as treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory AML

Genotoxic antibody-drug conjugates combined with BCL-XL inhibitors enhance therapeutic efficacy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. (PubMed, J Clin Invest)
Lastly, enhanced in vivo antitumor activity of vobramitamab duocarmazine by systemic A-1331852 was shown. Collectively, our findings provide rationale for the development of ADC therapies combining genotoxic payloads with BCL-XL inhibitors for mCRPC.

Combining inotuzumab ozogamicin with the p38 inhibitor BIRB 796 and venetoclax exerts synergistic cytotoxicity in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia including very high risk t(17;19) acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (PubMed, Haematologica)
These findings identify time-limited p38 inhibition as a mechanism-based strategy to enhance INO-induced DNA cleavage and mitochondrial priming, resulting in markedly improved therapeutic efficacy in a very high-risk leukemia model. This work may provide a rationale for optimizing ADCbased combination therapies through transient inhibition of p38.

Design and Synthesis of Bendamustine-Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors with Antiproliferative Effects in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
Human carbonic anhydrase IX (hCA IX) is markedly overexpressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and plays a key role in establishing an acidic tumor microenvironment associated with intrinsic chemoresistance. The resulting compounds were evaluated against hCA I, II, IX, and XII, displaying preferential inhibition of the tumor-associated isoforms. Selected derivatives (13a and 14c) showed antiproliferative activity in 786-O and CAKI-1 cells, inducing cell-cycle arrest and reducing long-term proliferative capacity more effectively than the reference CA IX inhibitor SLC-0111.

Bendamustine-based lymphodepletion prior to CAR T-cell therapy: a systematic review. (PubMed, Bone Marrow Transplant)
While fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (Flu/Cy) remain the standard LD regimen, bendamustine has emerged as a potential alternative due to its distinct immunomodulatory properties and more favorable toxicity profile. However, the current evidence is largely derived from retrospective and non-randomized studies. Prospective, comparative trials are warranted to validate these findings and to better define the optimal LD strategy across disease types and CAR-T platforms.

CHIP-AML22: a complex clinical trial in de novo pediatric AML patients, including a gemtuzumab ozogamicin randomization and targeted therapy with quizartinib in eligible subgroups, within the NOPHO-DB-SHIP consortium. (PubMed, Trials)
The risk-based approach and use of targeted therapies in CHIP-AML22 illustrate a shift toward more personalized treatment. Besides improving event-free survival, this study aims to contribute to the international consensus on strategies to reduce toxicity for all patients. The design of this study provides a dynamic framework, allowing for the potential introduction of emerging therapeutic options in the future.

Waldenström Macroglobulinemia Presenting With Hepatic Lesions: Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Case Rep Hematol)
The patient received six cycles of bendamustine and rituximab (BR), leading to a reduction in hepatic lesions and IgM levels, though treatment was complicated by persistent cytopenias. Comprehensive histopathological and molecular evaluation is critical for accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy. Our report expands the spectrum of extramedullary WM and highlights the potential for favorable response to BR despite unusual presentation.
