Loss of Ezh2 precipitates lethal disease progression in a mouse model of Calr-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms. (PubMed, Exp Hematol)
To investigate this question, we used a knock-in mouse that constitutively expresses a Calr frameshift allele and introduced conditional Ezh2 deletion triggered by tamoxifen...Short-term colony assays showed that inhibition of PPARγ modestly increased the anti-proliferative effect of cytarabine on AML-derived stem and progenitor cells, suggesting a possible reliance on FAO...At a non-critical stage, peripheral counts remain near-normal while bone marrow HSPC compartments are already distorted. AML-like, but not sMF-like, Flk2- CD48+ LSK cells transmit leukemia and display enhanced fatty-acid-oxidation signatures, suggesting a distinct, potentially targetable metabolic bias.

The Prognostic Value of Integrating Copy Number Alteration Profiles in NPM1-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia: An Exploratory Study. (PubMed, Appl Clin Genet)
This exploratory study suggests that combining CNAs and gene mutation profiles may potentially improve the existing prognostic evaluation system for NPM1-mutated AML patients. Confirmation of these results requires additional validation in larger prospective cohorts.

Oncostatin M induced by STAT5-activating oncogenes promotes disease progression in hematologic malignancies. (PubMed, Signal Transduct Target Ther)
These findings establish OSM as a key mediator linking oncogenic STAT5 activation to remodeling of the microenvironment and immune suppression. Targeting OSM signaling therefore represents a promising therapeutic strategy to alleviate disease progression in myeloproliferative neoplasms and related malignancies.

Retrospective study on the clinical outcomes and characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia: different outcomes in the same risk group. (PubMed, PeerJ)
Idarubicin, cytarabine, etoposide (IA ± E) chemotherapy yielded superior survival, while azacitidine+venetoclax (AZA+VEN) regimens underperformed. The study was registered on the Chinese clinical trial registry (ChiCTR) platform (No. ChiCTR2500096484).

FLT3-ITD with NPM1 and/or DNMT3A co-mutations in acute myeloid leukemia: prognostic significance and the role of maintenance therapy post-transplantation. (PubMed, Blood Sci)
In conclusion, FLT3-ITD-based double or triple mutations showed comparable posttransplant outcomes. FLT3-ITD MRD status and early maintenance therapy were key prognostic and therapeutic factors.

Comparing the efficacy and safety of the ABC-14 regimen (azacitidine, venetoclax, and chidamide) with traditional "3 + 7" intensive induction regimen or AB-14 regimen (venetoclax combined with azacitidine) in newly diagnosed AML: study protocol for a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label clinical trial. (PubMed, Trials)
This study aims to demonstrate that ABC-14 regimen is non-inferior to "3 + 7" regimen in newly diagnosed AML induction therapy while overcoming AB resistance and reducing toxicity associated with "3 + 7". It seeks to provide a broadly applicable alternative induction strategy for AML.

Clinical Features and Prognosis Analysis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Children with DEK-CAN-Positive. (PubMed, Clin Lab)
Patients with DEK-CAN fusion gene positive AML have a very poor prognosis, low primary induced remission rate, and high mortality. For confirmed cases, patients in remission with chemotherapy should undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as soon as possible to have a chance of long-term survival.

Outcomes of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia after menin inhibition failure. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
The 84 patients (63% KMT2Ar, n=53; 23% NPM1c, n=19) who received MENINi were heavily pre-treated: 86% (n=72) had prior intensive chemotherapy (IC), 77% venetoclax (VEN, n=67), and 38% (n=32) allogeneic stem cell transplantation...Of the 60% (n=50) that were treated, common regimens were hypomethylating agent (HMA)/VEN (26%, n=13), clinical trial (26%, n=13), and gilteritinib-based therapy (18%, n=9)...All CR/CRi occurred with HMA/VEN (n=2, 15%), IC+VEN (n=4, 67%), or MENINi switching (bleximenib to revumenib, n=1, 50%)...Outcomes after MENINi failure are poor, but responses occur with VEN-based regimens or MENINi switching. FLT3-ITD, WT1, and MEN1 mutations are associated with resistance.

Peri-transplant conundrums: optimizing maintenance therapy using MRD-directed approaches. (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
Post-HCT azacitidine may have a role for MRD-positive AML. In AML with FLT3-internal tandem duplication mutation, post-HCT gilteritinib and sorafenib can be evidence-based strategies to target MRD. In ALL, blinatumomab is a powerful tool to eradicate MRD in patients with Philadelphia (Ph)-positive or Ph-negative ALL; tyrosine kinase inhibitors are indicated for post-HCT management of Ph+ ALL. Despite these advances, the optimal duration and type of intervention still remain unknown for many patients with acute leukemia who have peri-HCT MRD.

Targeted triplet therapies incorporating FLT3 or IDH inhibitors: ready for prime time? (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
Triplet therapies combining hypomethylating agents, venetoclax, and targeted inhibitors are emerging as a promising therapy for older patients with AML unfit for intensive chemotherapy...While effective, the need to remain on indefinite therapy for individuals who are not stem cell transplant candidates and dose optimization/de-escalation strategies remain critical concerns. Herein, we aim to review the current treatment landscape of newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory FLT3- and IDH1/2-mutated AML and the role of triplet regimens in these molecular subgroups.
