WT1 mRNA in peripheral blood enables early prognostic stratification in AML patients receiving venetoclax and azacitidine therapy. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
Moreover, achieving PB WT1 mRNA negativity-regardless of whether this occurred early or later in the therapy།was consistently associated with superior OS and PFS. These findings suggest that PB WT1 mRNA is a sensitive and reliable biomarker for predicting treatment response and long-term outcomes in patients with AML receiving VEN/AZA.

Leukemic stem cell subtypes determine venetoclax resistance and therapeutic vulnerabilities in AML. (PubMed, Cell Stem Cell)
LSC subtyping improves genetic risk stratification and provides subtype-specific therapies: venetoclax-resistant MEP-LSCs respond to BCL-xL inhibitors, whereas MoDe-LSCs are sensitive to MEK1/2 inhibition. Our findings reveal four distinct LSC types with unique vulnerabilities and propose biomarker-guided treatment strategies that complement genetic profiling to overcome venetoclax resistance.

Antigen spreading mediates heterogeneous solid tumor eradication by DNA demethylating agent-programmed CAR T cells. (PubMed, Sci Adv)
Our study highlights the potent antitumor activity of low-dose decitabine-primed CAR T (dCAR T) cells in solid tumor models, a benefit previously confirmed in hematologic malignancies. This, in turn, stimulated endogenous CD8+ T cells, enhancing their antigen-spreading capacity and aiding in the clearance of abscopal antigen-negative tumors. These findings reveal the robust antigen-spreading capability of dCAR T cells, underscoring their clinical potential in addressing solid tumors with inherent antigen heterogeneity.

Case Report: Use of mirvetuximab soravtansine in a patient with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and concomitant PARP-inhibitor-related myelodysplastic syndrome. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
We report a 65-year-old patient with heavily pretreated, FRα-positive ovarian cancer who developed therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome with increased blasts (MDS-IB2, DNMT3A-mutated) during therapy with MIRV in combination with carboplatin having received prior PARPi maintenance therapy. This case demonstrates that MIRV can be safely and effectively administered alongside azacitidine, providing clinically meaningful tumor control without compromising hematologic outcomes. These findings support the concurrent management of ovarian cancer and therapy-related MDS as a viable and underutilized treatment approach in a highly challenging clinical setting.

Rosuvastatin enhances the efficacy of venetoclax-azacitidine in older acute myeloid leukemia patients via reducing T-cell exhaustion. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Immunother)
Furthermore, functional assays confirmed that rosuvastatin addition significantly enhanced T cell cytotoxicity against leukemia cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that adding rosuvastatin to venetoclax-azacitidine shows preliminary clinical activity and acceptable safety, possibly by reducing T-cell exhaustion, thus supporting further study of this triple regimen in older/unfit AML patients.

Blood Based Biomarkers of DNA Methylation Associated with Platinum Resistance in High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Pt resistance in HGSC is associated with epigenetic modifications and hypomethylating agents (HMAs) have been studied as carboplatin resensitizing agents...The Pt-resistant patients were enrolled in NCT02901899 clinical trial testing guadecitabine and the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab...We propose new DMLs associated with Pt-naive versus Pt-resistant HGSC. These findings can lead to new biomarkers for HGSC.

Real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in accelerated and blast-phase myeloproliferative neoplasms: Insights from a large multi-centre cohort analysis in the United Kingdom. (PubMed, Br J Haematol)
Ruxolitinib-based regimens, particularly combined with azacitidine, showed acceptable activity in AP (median OS 27.2 months). IC carried high rates of febrile neutropenia and sepsis; venetoclax was associated with prolonged cytopenias. This study confirms the poor prognosis of MPN-AP/BP, the absence of a unified UK consensus approach and the need for improved therapies and prospective studies to determine optimal treatment approaches for this challenging cohort.
