    Cladribine Combined with Homoharringtonine and Cytarabine Achieves a High Remission Rate in Adult Patients with De Novo Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Especially for Adverse-Risk Group: A Prospective, Single Center, Single-Arm, Phase 2 Study (ASH 2023)
    We propose the CHA regimen as a novel, effective, and safe chemotherapy regimen for newly diagnosed adult AML patients with remarkable potency in treating adverse-risk group patients, especially those with KMT2A rearrangements and RAS mutations that are otherwise resistant to BCL-2 inhibitor-based therapies, but a limited effect on FLT3 mutated AML patients.

    COMBINING MENIN AND MEK INHIBITION TO TREAT CHILDREN WITH POOR PROGNOSTIC KMT2A-R RAS-MUTANT ACUTE LEUKEMIA (EHA 2023)
    We evaluated the combination of RAS/MAPK pathway inhibition by the MEK1/2 inhibitor selumetinib with the Menin inhibitor VTP-50469 (SNDX-5613) in a genetically defined, poor prognostic subgroup of pediatric leukemia harboring KMT2A-r with RAS mutations. The findings in our preclinical study suggest a promising, readily translatable treatment for patients with KMT2A-racute leukemias harboring RAS mutations. Mechanistically, enhanced downregulation of both MYC signaling and the RAS/MAPK pathway with the combinatorial therapy is likely a strong contributor to the observed efficacy.
