Final safety and efficacy results from a phase 1/2 study of tagraxofusp, a CD123-targeted therapy, for myelofibrosis. (PubMed, Blood Neoplasia)
In this trial, tagraxofusp monotherapy in MF was well tolerated, without cumulative myelotoxicity, and with symptom score improvements, warranting further investigation in combination therapy. This trial was registered at www.clincaltrials.gov as #NCT02268253.

Optimizing capillary leak syndrome prevention and management in patients receiving tagraxofusp for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma)
During tagraxofusp treatment, strict monitoring for early recognition of CLS symptoms and directed intervention is essential for managing CLS; with this approach CLS is typically mild and occurs mostly in cycle 1, without recurrence. We discuss patient selection and optimization, monitoring, and early intervention for successful identification and optimized management of CLS in real-world practice.

Case Report: A rare RUNX1 rearrangement resulting from t(8;21)(p12;q22) in acute myeloid leukemia with plasmacytoid dendritic cell expansion. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Given the poor prognosis associated with this subtype, CD123-targeted therapy, such as tagraxofusp-erzs, alone or in combination with agents like azacitidine and venetoclax, may represent a rational therapeutic approach. To our knowledge, this represents the third case report of RUNX1 rearrangement in pDC-AML and may provide valuable insights for future research.

Discovery of fluorescent theranostic molecular glues for real-time visualization and target degradation toward eEF2K. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
Furthermore, the probe maintained significant inhibition of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and enhanced the antitumor activity of paclitaxel in combination treatment. Therefore, a reliable and efficient toolkit would be provided for eEF2K mechanism study and corresponding drug discovery. Our work could also be beneficial to the study and establishment of TPD and the visualization of a dual-functional system.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation as the standard of care for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm in first complete remission. (PubMed, Hematol Oncol Stem Cell Ther)
Tagraxofusp, a first-in-class CD123-directed antibody conjugate comprising human interleukin-3 and truncated diphtheria toxin, represents a welcome addition to the treatment armamentarium for BPDCN...Several questions remain unanswered-namely, the potential benefit of post-transplant consolidation or maintenance strategies to mitigate the risk of relapse or progression, and the role of next-generation sequencing as a prognostic tool and for better defining depth of remission and measurable residual disease, among others. We believe that further improvement in the prognosis of BPDCN will require large collaborative efforts, considering the rarity of this disease.

Real-world management of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm at an academic center with a broad regional referral base. (PubMed, Leuk Res Rep)
In this case series, we describe our institutional experience treating BPDCN both pre- and post-tagraxofusp approval. We summarize six cases, the majority of which occurred in elderly patients, and highlight unique challenges of treating BPDCN at a center that serves a large rural/frontier area with variable access to specialty care.

Care Optimization for Patients With Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm Receiving Tagraxofusp. (PubMed, J Adv Pract Oncol)
A core specialized interdisciplinary team coupled with AP-led management optimizes tagraxofusp treatment. This paper reviews best practices for the clinical management of patients with BPDCN receiving tagraxofusp in the context of the US package insert and APs' real-world management approaches.

Durable outcomes with manageable safety leading to prolonged survival with tagraxofusp for treatment-naïve patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: real world results from a European Named Patient Program. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
Treatment-related non-hematologic grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs were reported in 12 patients (46%); 9 patients (35%) had treatment-related grade 3/4 hematologic AEs. These real-world findings showed no new safety signals and confirmed that tagraxofusp is the first-line treatment of choice for most patients with BPDCN.
