JCO The primary analysis of the Ro-CHOP phase III randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01796002) established that romidepsin (Ro) plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) did not yield an increased efficacy compared with CHOP alone as first-line treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. We report the planned final analysis 5 years after the last patient enrolled.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 133 patients were assessed, and of the 86 who were identified as underdosed, those in the TDM group had higher imatinib levels and a significantly better major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months (67% for TDM vs. 39% for control).
  • * TDM proved to be a feasible approach that not only heightened drug levels but also maintained a positive impact on treatment outcomes for up to three years.

We reported here a case of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in a 28-year-old male patient, which diagnosis is discussed according to the different classifications. This case focused on some new criteria and changes in the new WHO classification (2008) of AML, especially when erythroid precursors represent over 50% of bone marrow nucleated cells. It also pointed on some gene mutations (NPM1, CEPBA, FLT3, WT1…) and their prognostic features in AML with a normal karyotype, leading to individualize two new provisional entities in the WHO classification of tumours of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues 2008.
