Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous neoplasm characterized by the monoclonal proliferation of immature progenitors. It is the most common acute leukemia in adults and its incidence increases with age. The standard traditional treatment in fit patients was the '3 + 7' regimen and cytarabine consolidation followed or not with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Recently, several targeted therapies such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin targeting the CD33 AML, midostaurin, gilteritinib and crenolanib inhibiting FLT3-positive AML and ivosidenib and enasidenib blocking -mutated AML have been approved. These new drugs led to the change of the landscape of the treatment of AML and transforming this disease to a targetable one. We aimed in this paper to review the implications of each new target, the mechanisms of action of these new drugs and we discuss all the studies leading to the approval of these new drugs in their indications according to each target.

O-GlcNAcylated FTO promotes m6A modification of SOX4 to enhance MDS/AML cell proliferation.

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) was the first m6A demethylase identified, which is responsible for eliminating m6A modifications in target RNAs. While it is well-established that numerous cytosolic and nuclear proteins undergo O-GlcNAcylation, the possibility of FTO being O-GlcNAcylated and its functional implications remain unclear. This study found that a negative correlation between FTO expression and O-GlcNAcylation in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Background: While immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a well-defined adverse effect associated with chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell (CAR-T) therapy, some patients develop prolonged neurologic symptoms. Few studies have examined characteristics and outcomes of patients who develop such symptoms.
Objective: To provide an analysis of patients who developed ICANS in a single-center cohort of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who received commercial CAR-T and compare characteristics and outcomes between patients with vs.
Comparison of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation, matched sibling donor hematopoietic cell transplantation, and chemotherapy in patients with favorable- and intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chemotherapy are considered potentially curative options for post-remission therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the comparative effectiveness of these approaches in favorable- and intermediate-risk AML remains unclear and requires further investigation.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 111 patients diagnosed with de novo favorable- and intermediate-risk AML, categorized according to the ELN 2022 guidelines, were investigated to compare outcomes following autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT), matched sibling donor HSCT (MSD-HSCT), and chemotherapy.
Second primary non-myeloid malignancies following intensive treatment for adult acute myeloid leukaemia: a Danish population-based cohort study.

Background: Second primary malignancies (SPMs) are a well-known, long-term complication of antineoplastic treatment. This nationwide cohort study examined the risk of non-myeloid SPMs in survivors of adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) treated with intensive chemotherapy and, in some cases, allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT), compared to a matched general population.
Methods: Patients with incident AML between 2000 and 2018, alive and aged 18-70 years two years after start of intensive chemotherapy, were included and matched 1:10 to comparators from the general Danish population on sex, age, and the Nordic Multimorbidity Index.
