Germline or acquired mutations involving the GATA-binding protein gene (GATA2) have been linked to a variety of clinical conditions. In addition, patients harboring GATA2 mutations have a striking predisposition to develop myeloid malignancies, such as myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia, but not acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We report here a unique occurrence of early T-cell precursor ALL in a young child with GATA2 haploinsufficiency.

Venetoclax and azacitidine in combination with homoharringtonine, cytarabine, and aclarubicin for salvage therapy of relapsed/refractory T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Int J Hematol
January 2025
Department of Hematology, The 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force, No.212, Da Guan Road, Xishan District, Kunming, 650100, Yunnan, China.
Background: The treatment of relapsed/refractory T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R T-ALL) is a significant challenge in hematologic oncology, and no standard salvage treatment plan exists. Both Chinese and international clinical guidelines recommend combination chemotherapy including venetoclax.
Methods: Efficacy and safety of venetoclax, azacitidine, homoharringtonine, cytarabine, and aclarubicin (VA-HAA) combination therapy were retrospectively analyzed in 3 patients with R/R T-ALL at the Department of Hematology, 920th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force, Chinese People's Liberation Army.
A complete response with daratumumab, venetoclax, azacitidine and dexamethasone in a heavily pre-treated, chemo-refractory early T-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma patient.

Early T-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP-ALL/LBL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of T-cell leukemia with poor prognosis and resistance to standard treatments. We report a 21-year-old male with ETP-ALL/LBL who, after an initial complete remission with the HOELZER protocol, experienced early relapse and was refractory to subsequent FLEND and BFM protocols. Following disease progression and complications, he was treated with a combination of daratumumab, venetoclax, azacitidine, and dexamethasone.

Acta Endocrinol (Buchar)

Dokuz Eylül University, Faculty of Medicine, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology.
Context: Osteonecrosis (ON) is bone death caused by inadequate blood supply and its optimal management remains uncertain.
Objective: We describe the outcomes of BP (pamidronate) treatment in our patients.
Design: Data regarding clinical, laboratory, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, and bone mineral density measurements (BMD) were recorded before and one year after treatment (reevaluation).
Presence of minimal residual disease determined by next-generation sequencing is not a reliable prognostic biomarker in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is still under consideration. Fifty pediatric patients were prospectively evaluated for specific clonal rearrangements of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes using NGS analysis at diagnosis and on days 33 and 78 from therapy onset. The prognostic value or the NGS-MRD status was analyzed after a median follow-up of 4 years.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram predicting progression-free survival (PFS) for adult patients with positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia(Ph + ALL) who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI) treatment. Data were retrospectively collected from 176 adult patients diagnosed with Ph + ALL and treated with allo-HSCT and TKIs at The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, between January 2015 and May 2023. 70% of the patients were randomly assigned to the training group(n = 124) and 30% of the patients were assigned to the validation group(n = 52).
