Outcome of 421 adult patients with Philadelphia-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated under an intensive program inspired by the GIMEMA LAL1913 clinical trial: a Campus ALL study.

The introduction of pediatric-inspired regimens in adult Philadelphia-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph- ALL) has significantly improved patients' prognosis. Within the Campus ALL network, we analyzed the outcome of adult Ph- ALL patients treated according to the GIMEMA LAL1913 protocol outside the clinical trial to compare the real-life data with the study results. We included 421 consecutive patients; median age 42 years.

Modern Risk Stratification of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2023: Integrating Established and Emerging Prognostic Factors.

An accurate estimation of AML prognosis is complex since it depends on patient-related factors, AML manifestations at diagnosis, and disease genetics. Furthermore, the depth of response, evaluated using the level of MRD, has been established as a strong prognostic factor in several AML subgroups. In recent years, this rapidly evolving field has made the prognostic evaluation of AML more challenging.

Thrombosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Pathogenesis, Risk Factors and Therapeutic Challenges.

Prophylaxis and treatment of thrombosis in leukemic patients still represent a major challenge with several clinical questions yet to be solved. Indeed, the paucity of evidence makes the management of venous thromboembolic events difficult and not uniform. Due to thrombocytopenia, patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are underrepresented in trials investigating prophylaxis and treatment of thrombosis in cancer, and prospective data are lacking.
