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.

DNA methylation is an enzyme-driven epigenetic modification that must be precisely regulated to maintain cellular homeostasis. Aberrant methylation status, especially hypermethylation of the promoter sites of tumor-suppressor genes, is observed in human malignancies and is a proven target for cancer therapy. The first-generation DNA demethylating agents, azacitidine and decitabine, are widely used for treating several hematological malignancies.

Background: Hypomethylating agents (HMA), such as azacytidine (AZA) and decitabine (DAC), are epigenetic therapies used to treat some patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome. HMAs act in a replication-dependent manner to remove DNA methylation from the genome. However, AML cells targeted by HMA therapy are often quiescent within the bone marrow, where oxygen levels are low.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is recognized as the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Epigenetic silencing, such as DNA methylation mediated by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) plays key roles in TNBC tumorigenesis. Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) such as azacitidine, decitabine, and guadecitabine are key inhibitors of DNMTs, and accumulating evidence has shown their immunogenicity properties.

Background: Olutasidenib is a potent, selective, oral, small molecule inhibitor of mutant IDH1 (mIDH1) which induced durable remissions in high-risk, relapsed/refractory (R/R) mIDH1 AML patients in a phase 1/2 trial. We present a pooled analysis from multiple cohorts of the phase 1/2 trial of patients with R/R AML who received combination olutasidenib and azacitidine therapy.

Methods: Adult patients with mIDH1 AML received 150 mg olutasidenib twice daily plus standard-of-care azacitidine (OLU + AZA) and were evaluated for response and safety.
