Impact of calreticulin mutations on treatment and survival outcomes in myelofibrosis during ruxolitinib therapy.

Ann Hematol

January 2025

Department of Engineering for Innovation Medicine, Section of Innovation Biomedicine, Hematology Area, University of Verona, Verona, Italy.

Calreticulin (CALR) mutations are detected in around 20% of patients with primary and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (MF). Regardless of driver mutations, patients with splenomegaly and symptoms are generally treated with JAK2-inhibitors, most commonly ruxolitinib. Recently, new therapies specifically targeting the CALR mutant clone have entered clinical investigation.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. Driver mutations are the pathophysiological hallmark of the disease, but the role of mutation clearance after transplantation is unclear.

Methods: We used highly sensitive polymerase-chain-reaction technology to analyze the dynamics of driver mutations in peripheral-blood samples from 324 patients with myelofibrosis (73% with mutations, 23% with mutations, and 4% with mutations) who were undergoing transplantation after reduced-intensity conditioning.

Mutant Calreticulin in MPN: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Implications.

Curr Hematol Malig Rep

January 2025

Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.

Purpose Of Review: More than a decade following the discovery of Calreticulin (CALR) mutations as drivers of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), advances in the understanding of CALR-mutant MPN continue to emerge. Here, we summarize recent advances in mehanistic understanding and in targeted therapies for CALR-mutant MPN.

Recent Findings: Structural insights revealed that the mutant CALR-MPL complex is a tetramer and the mutant CALR C-terminus is exposed on the cell surface.

Targeted therapies (e.g., ibrutinib) have markedly improved chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) management; however, ~20% of patients experience disease relapse, suggesting the inadequate depth and durability of these front-line strategies.

Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) plays a role in the development of lymphoma, lung cancer and neuroblastoma. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved treatment outcomes, relapse remains a challenge due to on-target mutations and off-target resistance mechanisms. ALK-positive (ALK+) tumors can evade the immune system, partly through tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that facilitate immune escape.
