    Targeting Myeloid Epithelial Tyrosine Kinase (MERTK) Receptor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Using a Novel Antibody Drug Conjugate, Rgx-019-MMAE (ASH 2023)
    Finally, we investigated the synergistic effect of RGX-019-MMAE with Venetoclax (BCL2 inhibitor) or 5-Azacytidine in vitro. RGX-019-MMAE significantly induced cell death in AML cell lines and primary AML patient samples. RGX-019-MMAE, combined with chemotherapeutic agents and targeted therapy, produces a synergistic anti-leukemic effect. Our data indicates that MERTK is a potential therapeutic target in AML patients with monocytic subtypes of leukemia.
