The study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) plus low-dose rituximab (LD-RTX) with LD-RTX monotherapy in corticosteroid-resistant or relapsed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients. Recruited patients were randomized at a ratio of 2:1 into 2 groups: 112 patients received LD-RTX plus ATRA, and 56 patients received LD-RTX monotherapy. Overall response (OR), defined as achieving a platelet count of ≥30 × 109/L confirmed on ≥2 separate occasions (≥7 days apart), at least a doubling of the baseline platelet count without any other ITP-specific treatment, and the absence of bleeding within 1 year after enrollment, was observed in more patients in the LD-RTX plus ATRA group (80%) than in the LD-RTX monotherapy group (59%) (between-group difference, 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype (NK-AML) shows high variability, and immune processes play a crucial role in its development.
  • A study examined immune-related gene expression in 60 NK-AML patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas and 104 from the GEO dataset, identifying a significant association between 42 and 203 immune-related genes and overall survival.
  • A risk model based on nine key immune-related genes enables the stratification of NK-AML patients into high- and low-risk groups, with a predictive accuracy of 0.793, highlighting the potential for improved prognosis through immunogenomic evaluation.
