CPX-351 has been approved for patients with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (MRC-AML). No extensive data are available on MRD and long-term clinical outcome using CPX-351 in AML in real-life. We retrospectively collected data from 168 patients in 36 centers in France and Italy who had received one or two cycles of induction with CPX-351.

Polyethylene-glycolated -derived l-asparaginase (pegaspargase, pASP) is an essential component of paediatric-inspired regimens for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma; nonetheless, is characterised by severe and potentially life-threatening toxicities, such as hypertriglyceridemia. Grades 3-4 events have been reported in ~1%-18% of paediatric patients and in sparse reports in adults. There is limited evidence on the safety of asparaginase rechallenge in patients experiencing severe pASP-related hypertriglyceridemia.

Article Synopsis
  • Blinatumomab (Blina) and inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) show effectiveness in treating relapsed/refractory B-lymphoblastic leukemia, though outcomes after recurrence and re-treatment are not well understood.
  • In a study of 71 patients, those treated with Blina achieved a 63% complete remission (CR) rate, while InO led to an 82% CR rate, highlighting the drugs' potential in handling multiple relapses.
  • Overall survival (OS) was 19 months for the Blina/InO group and 9.4 months for the InO/Blina group, with a significant percentage of patients achieving minimal residual disease negativity, indicating promising results as
