Article Synopsis

Tagraxofusp is a first-in-class CD123-directed conjugate of an amended diphtheria toxin platform and recombinant interleukin 3. Binding and subsequent internalization of the drug result in cell death via disruption of intracellular protein synthesis. CD123 is a surface marker that is expressed in several hematological malignancies, especially blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), where its expression is ubiquitous.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and aggressive hematologic cancer originating from the malignant transformation of plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors. This malignancy progresses rapidly, with frequent relapses and a poor overall survival rate, underscoring the urgent need for effective treatments. However, diagnosing and treating BPDCN have historically been challenging due to its rarity and the lack of standardized approaches.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare, aggressive hematologic malignancy with poor outcomes. The World Health Organization (WHO) redefined BDCN as a distinct disease entity in 2016. BPDCN arises from plasmacytoid dendritic cells, manifesting primarily in the skin, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, occasionally involving the central nervous system (CNS).
