    Abstract Introduction: With advances in molecular medicine and precision approaches, there has been significant improvement in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in recent years. This reflects better understanding of molecular and metabolic pathways in leukemia cells, including BCL2 upregulation that prevents apoptosis, FLT3 tyrosine kinase activating mutations that allow uncontrolled proliferation, and IDH mutations that result in differentiation block.
    Areas covered: We performed a compressive review of important pre-clinical studies in AML that involve major molecular and metabolic pathways in AML, and we discussed standard therapeutic modalities and ongoing clinical trials for patients with AML, as well as an overall update of recent efforts in this area.
    Expert opinion: Targeting these pathways has resulted in improvement in the overall survival of some groups of AML patients. Secondary AML and TP53 mutated AML remain challenging subtypes of AML with limited treatment options and represent areas of unmet research need. Ongoing work with menin inhibitors in MLL rearranged leukemia, which comprise a large portion of secondary AML cases, the development of CAR T cell products and targeting the CD47 receptor on macrophages in myeloid neoplasms including in TP53 mutated AML have provided hope for these challenging subtypes of AML.

    Abstract Objectives: This study assesses the clinical significance of additional cytogenetic abnormalities (ACAs) and/or the deletion of 3'CBFB (3'CBFB
    Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathologic features of 47 adult de novo AML with inv (16)/t(16;16)/CBFB::MYH11 fusion. There were 44 balanced and 3 unbalanced CBFB::MYH11 fusions. Given the low frequency of unbalanced cases, the latter group was combined with 19 published cases (N = 22) for statistic and meta-analysis.
    Results: Both balanced and unbalanced cases were characterized by frequent ACAs (56.5% and 72.7%, respectively), with +8, +22, and del(7q) as the most frequent abnormalities. The unbalanced group tends to be younger individuals (p = .04) and is associated with a lower remission rate (p = .02), although the median overall survival (OS) was not statistically different (p = .2868). In the balanced group, "ACA" subgroup had higher mortality (p = .013) and shorter OS (p = .011), and patients with relapsed disease had a significantly shorter OS (p = .0011). Cox multivariate regression analysis confirmed that ACAs and history of disease relapse are independent risk factors, irrespective of disease relapse status. In the combined cohort, cases with ACAs had shorter OS than those with "Sole" abnormality (p = .0109).
    Conclusions: ACAs are independent high-risk factors in adult AML with inv (16)/t(16;16)/CBFB::MYH11 fusion and should be integrated for risk stratification in this disease. Larger studies are needed to assess the clinical significance of the unbalanced CBFB::MYH11 fusion resulting from the 3'CBFB

    Abstract FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have clinical efficacy for patients with FLT3-mutated AML (acute myeloid leukemia), but their impact is limited by resistance in the setting of monotherapy and by tolerability problems when used in combination therapies. FF-10101 is a novel compound that covalently binds to a cysteine residue near the active site of FLT3, irreversibly inhibiting receptor signaling. It is effective against most FLT3 activating mutations, and unlike other inhibitors is minimally vulnerable to resistance induced by FLT3 ligand (FL). We conducted a phase 1 dose escalation study of oral FF-10101 (NCT03194685) in patients with relapsed and/or refractory AML, the majority of whom harbored FLT3-activating mutations and/or had prior exposure to FLT3 inhibitors. Fifty-four participants enrolled in cohorts ranging from 10 to 225 mg per day and 50 to 100 mg twice daily (BID). The dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were diarrhea and QT prolongation. Among 40 response-evaluable participants, the composite complete response rate was 10%, and the overall response rate (including partial responses) was 12.5%, including patients who had progressed on gilteritinib. 56% of participants had prior exposure to FLT3 inhibitors. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was 75 mg BID. FF-10101 potentially represents a next-generation advance in the management of FLT3-mutated AML.

    Abstract Intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) defines a rare provisional entity of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in the current WHO classification and has been described as specific for pediatric patients with a median age at diagnosis of 9-10 years. We report two adult cases of B-ALL with iAMP21, one 31-year-old woman and one 40-year-old man, identified by karyotyping and next generation sequencing (NGS), with fluorescence

    Abstract Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which presents with a distinct coagulopathy. Therapeutic advances have made APL one of the true success stories in oncology, transforming this once lethal disease into the most curable form of AML. For many patients, cure will now be achieved without the use of chemotherapy. It is hoped that limiting chemotherapy will reduce mortality even further, particularly among more vulnerable older adults whose survival lagged behind that of younger patients. It should be noted that early death persists in patients with APL and continues to negatively affect survival. Further, among survivors treated with chemotherapy or even arsenic trioxide (ATO), there remains the potential for long-term toxicities that must be monitored. Understanding the management of these issues is an important complement to ensure maximal survival for patients with APL.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Despite major advances in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), high-risk APL still poses unique challenges. The purpose of this review is to outline current evidence for evaluation and management of high-risk APL and discuss areas of ongoing and future investigation.
    Recent findings: With the changing treatment paradigm in APL and increasing use of arsenic trioxide (ATO), reports have questioned the relevance of classic prognostic factors. Despite advancements in therapy, early death remains a primary reason for treatment failure. A randomized, phase III trial demonstrated that all-trans retinoic acid + ATO is at least noninferior and may be superior to all-trans retinoic acid + chemotherapy in low/intermediate-risk APL. One phase III and multiple phase II trials have suggested a benefit of adding ATO to therapy of high-risk patients. Attempts at minimizing chemotherapy in high-risk disease have proven feasible with the use of gemtuzumab ozogamicin, but it is unlikely that cytotoxic chemotherapy will be completely eliminated in this patient population.
    Summary: Treatment of high-risk APL has evolved significantly over the past 10 years and current scoring systems, management, and treatment regimens have been reviewed. There are as yet unresolved questions, including how to minimize early deaths and optimal therapy in an ATO era.
