Post-Relapse Outcomes of Older Patients With NPM1-Mutated AML Are Favorable With Allo Transplant in Second Remission.

Molecular assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD) in NPM1-mutated AML patients is a powerful prognostic tool to identify the risk of relapse. There is limited data regarding MRD-guided decisions against alloSCT in elderly patients and FLT3-ITD co-mutation. We describe the outcome of NPM1-mutated AML patients in whom alloSCT was deferred based on ELN 2017 risk and MRD response.

Talin1 dysfunction is genetically linked to systemic capillary leak syndrome.

Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare life-threatening disorder due to profound vascular leak. The trigger and the cause of the disease are currently unknown and there is no specific treatment. Here, we identified a rare heterozygous splice-site variant in the TLN1 gene in a familial SCLS case, suggestive of autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance.

Efficacy and Safety of Anti-B-Cell Maturation Antigen Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell for the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory AL Amyloidosis.

Purpose: The use of anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy for AL amyloidosis (AL) is limited owing to patient frailty. HBI0101 anti-BCMA CART was the first proof of concept for its applicability to AL. This report addresses the AL patient cohort treated to date within the phase Ia/Ib clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.

Belantamab Mafodotin in Relapsed/Refractory AL Amyloidosis: Real-World Multi-Center Experience and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Treatment for relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis (AL) is an unmet need. The safety and efficacy of belantamab mafodotin (BLM) in multiple myeloma are known, whereas in AL data are limited.

Methods: We report a multi-center cohort of AL patients receiving BLM, and review all previous data on BLM therapy in AL.

Gilteritinib with or without venetoclax for relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia.

Patients with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) that relapse or are refractory (R/R) to intensive induction have poor outcomes. Gilteritinib has recently become standard-of-care for patients with R/R FLT3-mutated AML. We investigated whether adding venetoclax to gilteritinib (gilt-ven) improves outcomes as compared with gilteritinib monotherapy.
