Article Synopsis
  • Defining prognostic factors for T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL) is complex, as shown in the AALL1231 trial that included children and young adults with T acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-LL, comparing standard therapy with the addition of bortezomib.
  • In the trial, 41% of patients provided bone marrow samples to measure minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment, revealing that those with MRD levels below 0.1% had a significantly better event-free survival rate (89%) compared to those with MRD at or above 0.1% (64%).
  • Cox regression analysis indicated that having MRD levels at or above 0.1%

Background: Pivekimab sunirine (IMGN632) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate comprising a high-affinity CD123 antibody, cleavable linker, and novel indolinobenzodiazepine pseudodimer payload. CD123 is overexpressed in several haematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukaemia. We present clinical data on pivekimab sunirine in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia.

Article Synopsis
  • * A multivariable Cox model was developed using data from over 21,000 patients to predict relapse-free survival (RFS) and establish more precise risk groups through the COG Prognostic Index (PI).
  • * The PI effectively differentiates between low and high relapse risks and identifies specific subgroups within moderate and high-risk patients, potentially guiding more personalized treatment strategies based on their predicted outcomes.

The early thymic precursor (ETP) immunophenotype was previously reported to confer poor outcome in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Between 2009 and 2014, 1256 newly diagnosed children and young adults enrolled in Children's Oncology Group (COG) AALL0434 were assessed for ETP status and minimal residual disease (MRD) using flow cytometry at a central reference laboratory. The subject phenotypes were categorized as ETP (n = 145; 11.
