IL3RA expression

Importantly, a PDX with very high CD123 cell surface expression but resistant to in vivo PVEK treatment, failed to internalize the G4723A antibody while remaining sensitive to the PVEK payload, DGN549, suggesting a novel mechanism of resistance. In conclusion, PVEK was highly effective against a large panel of B-ALL PDXs supporting its clinical translation for B-lineage pediatric ALL.

Treatment with various agents including decitabine, cytarabine, daunorubicin, etoposide, and venetoclax, and two experimental bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors did not produce sustained remissions, and the patient eventually succumbed to her disease. T-cell phenotype is an exceedingly rare feature of AML ex CMML, and whether this unique differentiation pathway contributed to the aggressive disease course remains unclear. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02543879, NCT03360006.

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare type of malignant hematologic disease. Its diagnosis is based on the comprehensive evaluation of bone marrow cell morphology, immunophenotype, molecular and cytogenetic features.

In this study, a novel CD123 DuAb was constructed and expressed. In vitro experiments verified that the DuAb binds to CD123(+) tumor cells and T cells simultaneously, promotes T-cell activation and proliferation, and facilitates their anti-leukemia effect, which provides a basis for further clinical research.

Responses only occurred in Cohort B, with a partial response in one patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma and morphological complete remission in the bone marrow in one patient with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. In conclusion, flotetuzumab had a manageable safety profile in advanced CD123-positive hematological malignancies.

Doxorubicin displayed a selective killing of EP300-ZNF384-positive B-ALL cells in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, we identify IL3RA as a direct downstream target of EP300-ZNF384, suggesting CD123 is a potent biomarker for EP300-ZNF384-driven B-ALL. Targeting CD123 may be a novel therapeutic approach to EP300-ZNF384-positive patients, alternative or, more likely, complementary to standard chemotherapy regimen in clinical setting.

The use of chemo-immunotherapy combining cladribine (CDA) and rituximab (R) represents an increasingly used therapeutic approach. Management of relapsed/refractory disease is based on the use of BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) plus R, MEK inhibitors (MEKi), recombinant immunoconjugates targeting CD22, Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), and Bcl-2 inhibitors (Bcl-2i). However, the optimal sequence of the different treatments remains to be determined.

Pivekimab sunirine showed single-agent activity across multiple doses, with a recommended phase 2 dose of 0·045 mg/kg once every 3 weeks. These findings led to a phase 1b/2 study of pivekimab sunirine plus azacitidine and venetoclax in patients with CD123-positive acute myeloid leukaemia.
