P1/2, N=5, Terminated, University of Utah | N=39 --> 5 | Trial completion date: Aug 2027 --> Oct 2024 | Recruiting --> Terminated; This study was terminated due to sponsor de-activation of all programs associated with RP-3500 (camonsertib).

We describe an impressive response to IO combination immunotherapy with ipilimumab plus nivolumab (Ipi/nivo) in a patient with T-NEPC who had failed standard treatment approaches. The results of the next-generation sequencing DNA analysis demonstrated the presence of intermediary tumor burden, an ATM mutation and a rare SF3B1 (G742D) mutation, and served as rational for IO therapy in this patient. This case highlights the genetic profile of tumor with a rare combination of ATM and SF3B1 mutations that could be further explored as biomarkers for IO therapy in T-NEPC and other tumor types.

According to early findings, NGS panels are extremely effective instruments that provide an entirely new viewpoint on the disease for particular individuals. Future prognostications will depend more on NGS because those who exhibit normal cytogenetics may additionally have gene mutations.

Going forward, the application of machine learning and advanced statistical methods to large patient cohorts can refine future classifications by advancing unbiased and robust previously unrecognised disease subgroups. Future classifications will probably incorporate these newer technologies and higher-level analyses that emphasise genomic disease entities over traditional morphologically defined entities, thus promoting more accurate diagnosis and patient risk stratification.

Epoetin alfa was used simultaneously in 31 patients (60.7%). The effect was particularly high in the IPSS-M low and very low groups. We believe that the relatively high response rate in our patients was influenced by the frequent use of a higher dose (1.75 mg/kg) and especially by adding ESA to luspatercept in poorly responding patients.

The potent IRAK4 inhibitor CA-4948 has shown efficacy in both pre-clinical studies and MDS clinical trials, with splicing factor mutant patients showing the higher response rates. Emerging data has, however, revealed that co-targeting of IRAK4 and its paralog IRAK1 is required to maximally suppress LSPC function in vitro and in vivo by inducing cellular differentiation. These findings provide a link between the presence of the commonly mutated splicing factor genes and activation of innate immune signaling pathways in myeloid malignancies and have important implications for targeted therapy in these disorders.

Mutations in spliceosomal components have been identified in numerous cancer subtypes, with mutations in RNA binding proteins SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, and ZRSR2 occurring frequently in AML and in up to 60% of patients with MDS, as well as in chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and in 10% of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. In this review, we explore therapeutic strategies targeting aberrant splicing and the potential of these approaches to drive clinical responses.

Moreover, E7107 had the greatest effect on intron retention. This study indicates/suggests that mutated SF3B1 UM cells are more sensitive to the splicing inhibitor E7107 than wild-type SF3B1 UM cells.

New drugs undergoing clinical trials are mostly targeted drugs designed to inhibit the protein products of mutant genes or immunotherapeutic agents designed to stimulate the immune response against specific antigens. In addition to these approaches, potential therapeutic targets of epigenetic regulation of UM development are considered in the review.

In addition, acute myeloid leukemia grows faster in aged, but not young, Sf3b1K700Efl/+/Foxp3YFP-Cre mice compared to Foxp3YFP-Cre mice. Our results highlight the impact of cancer-associated SF3B1 mutation on immune responses, which affect cancer development.

DTA mutations are frequently observed in patients with MDS, often accompanied by genes involved in RNA splicing and transcription factors like SF3B1 and RUNX1. DTA and concomitant mutations affect prognosis in MDS patients and RUNX1 was identified as an independent poor prognostic factor in patients with DTA mutations.

Using transcriptome-wide RNA binding maps and molecular dynamics simulations, we showed multimodal SF3B1 binding at 3' splice sites and predicted reduced RNA binding at the second binding pocket of SF3B1K700E Our work presents the hitherto most complete LRTS study of the SF3B1 mutation in CLL and MDS and provides a resource to study aberrant splicing in cancer. Moreover, we showed that different disease prognosis most likely results from the different cell types expanded during carcinogenesis rather than different mechanisms of action of the mutated SF3B1 These results have important implications for understanding the role of SF3B1 mutations in hematological malignancies and other related diseases.

The patient was diagnosed with PMF and treated with ruxolitinib and COPD therapy...The rare coexistence of JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations challenges the assumption of their mutual exclusivity. Further study of these mutations is essential for developing better treatment strategies.

Finally, Cancer Dependency Map analysis and BRD9 inhibition displayed BRD9 dependency and sensitivity in cell lines and primary CLL cells. In conclusion, spliceosome dysregulation caused by SF3B1 mutations leads to multiple ASEs and an altered ncBAF complex interactome, highlighting a novel pathobiological mechanism in SF3B1MUT CLL.

Importantly, other types of cancer-associated SF3B1 mutations also inhibited mRNA nuclear export similarly, suggesting that it is common for cancer-associated SF3B1 mutation to inhibit mRNA nuclear export. Our research highlights the critical role of the THOC5-SF3B1 interaction in the regulation of mRNA nuclear export and provides valuable insights into the impact of SF3B1 mutations on mRNA nuclear export.

The distinct genomic profiling in Japanese patients, including lower TMB, compared to Caucasians, is associated with poorer treatment outcomes. This result underscores the need for more effective therapeutic agents.

177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan (177Lu-PSMA-617/LuPSMA) received recent EMA approval for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, with promising data for earlier stages...We present a 77-year-old man, with synchronous liver, bone, and lymph node metastatic prostate cancer, having developed a low-risk MDS with SF3B1 mutation, 1 month after the sixth administration of LuPSMA. Although on partial metabolic and biological response with PSA nadir at 7 months after therapy, life quality was significantly altered by MDS.

GPATCH8 cooperates with SF3B1 mutants, affecting the splicing machinery. Targeting GPATCH8 reveals therapeutic opportunities for SF3B1 mutant cancers and other splicing-related diseases.

In this review, we discuss aberrant splicing events induced by mutations affecting SFs (SF3B1, U2AF1, SRSR2, and ZRSR2), spliceosome components (PRPF8, LUC7L2, DDX41, and HNRNPH1), and epigenetic modulators (IDH1 and IDH2). Finally, we provide an extensive overview of the biological relevance of aberrant isoforms of genes involved in the regulation of apoptosis (e. g. BCL-X, MCL-1, FAS, and c-FLIP), activation of key cellular signaling pathways (CASP8, MAP3K7, and NOTCH2), and cell metabolism (PKM).

Moreover, compared to other hotspot SF3B1 mutations, E592K induces a unique RNA missplicing pattern, retains an interaction with the splicing factor SUGP1, and preserves normal RNA splicing of the sideroblastic anemia genes TMEM14C and ABCB7. These data have implications for our understanding of the functional diversity of spliceosome mutations, as well as the pathobiology, classification, prognosis, and management of SF3B1-mutant MDS.

Altogether, this study provides a detailed genomic characterization of patients with MTC of Indian origin, highlighting the possible utility of targeted therapies in this disease.

Background: Treatment with combined covalent BTK-inhibitor (cBTKi such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, zanubrutinib) withBCL2-inhibitor, venetoclax +/- CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab showed high rates of undetectableMRD (U-MRD) remission in patients (pts) with CLL (Jain, NEJM 2019; Munir NEJM 2023; Wierda, JCO 2021; Kater, NEJM Evidence 2022). We report the first results for first-line combined pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab in pts with CLL. Avery high rate of bone marrow U-MRD at 10-6 sensitivity was noted at 6-months of combined treatment. Adverse event profile was similar to what was noted in previous studies with these agents.

According to the univariable analyses of OS, age ≥ 65 years (P < 0.001), hemoglobin concentration (Hb) < 80 g/L (P = 0.090), platelet count (PLT) ≥ 800 × 10E + 9/L (P = 0.087), bone marrow RS < 15% (P < 0.001), the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) cytogenetic category intermediate/poor/very poor (P = 0.005), SETBP1 mutation (P = 0.061) and SRSF2 mutation (P < 0.001) were associated with poor survival. Based on variables selected from univariable analyses, two separate survival prediction models, a clinical survival model, and a clinical-molecular survival model, were developed using multivariable analyses with the minimum value of the Akaike information criterion (AIC) to specifically predict outcomes in patients with MDS/MPN-SF3B1-T according to the 2022 WHO classification.

Elacestrant, a second-line ER degrader, increases overall free-survival in patients with resistant breast cancer and ESR1Y537S...Abstracts presented at a news conference are embargoed until the date and time of the news conference. The Endocrine Society reserves the right to lift the embargo on specific abstracts that are selected for promotion prior to or during ENDO.

Silencing of GPATCH8 corrected one-third of mutant SF3B1-dependent splicing defects and was sufficient to improve dysfunctional hematopoiesis in SF3B1-mutant mice and primary human progenitors. These data identify GPATCH8 as a novel splicing factor required for mis-splicing by mutant SF3B1 and highlight the therapeutic impact of correcting aberrant splicing in SF3B1-mutant cancers.

SF3B1 mutation is first described in two cases of plaque-type blue nevus associated with LMM. Patients with SF3B1 mutation might be related to poor prognosis in LMN.

Novel treatments aimed at rational molecular and cellular pathway targets have yielded a number of candidate drugs over recent years; however few new approvals have been granted. With ongoing research, we hope to increasingly offer our MDS patients tailored therapeutic approaches, ultimately decreasing morbidity and mortality.

In the MEDALIST trial and in an interim analysis of the COMMANDS trial, lower-risk MDS-RS patients had decreased transfusion dependency with luspatercept treatment...There were 29 (74.4%) patients with ≥15% RS, 6 (15.4%) with 5 to 14% RS, one (2.6%) with 1% RS, and 3 (7.7%) with no RS. Our study suggests that a quarter of patients would be missed based on the morphologic criterion of only using RS greater than 15% and supports the revised 2022 definitions of the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Consensus Classification (ICC), which shift toward molecularly defined subtypes of MDS and appropriate testing.

Patients with multilineage dysplasia (MLD) had significantly shorter OS than those with single lineage dysplasia. MLD is still a powerful morphological marker of worse outcome in WHO 2022 and ICC-defined MDS-SF3B1.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Spliceosome mutations in patients treated with Venetoclax and Azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML. This negative prognostic impact remained true in our multivariate analysis. We believe this finding should warrant further studies aimed at overcoming this negative impact.

Importantly, histone deacetylase inhibition using vorinostat restores R-loop formation, slows down DNA replication forks and improves SF3B1-mutated erythroblast differentiation. In conclusion, loss of R-loops with associated DNA replication stress represents a hallmark of SF3B1-mutated MDS ineffective erythropoiesis, which could be used as a therapeutic target.

Curiously, although modestly varying among AML samples, a high AKT1 expression shows in contrast as a strong predictor of a better patient outcome. These data suggest that AKT3 and AKT1 expressions have strong, yet opposite, prognostic values.

Therefore, TrkAIII splicing is common in PitNETs, is elevated in invasive, especially PIT1 tumors, can result in intracellular TrkAIII activation, and may involve hypoxia. The data support a role for TrkAIII splicing in PitNET pathogenesis and progression and identify TrkAIII as a novel potential target in refractory PitNETs.

Together, our work provides mechanistic insights that link ISC deficiency to cuproptosis, as exemplified by the high sensitivity of SF3B1-mutated AMLs. We thus propose SF3B1 mutations as a biomarker for future copper ionophore-based therapies.

Our findings reveal how splicing factor mutant states behave functionally as epigenetic disorders through impaired transcription-related changes to the chromatin landscape. We also present a rationale for targeting the Sin3/HDAC complex as a therapeutic strategy.
