    Abstract Current standard of care for consolidation therapy for AML varies based on age and induction regimen, among other factors. Many trials have sought to determine the optimal dose, number of cycles, and schedule for consolidation with cytarabine. For AML patients under age 60, mid-dose cytarabine is as effective as high-dose cytarabine, results after 3 or 4 cycles of cytarabine in consolidation are comparable but are both superior to only one cycle, and giving cytarabine every 12 h on days 1, 2, and 3 appears to have the same benefit but less toxicity than cytarabine given on days 1, 3, and 5. For those over age 60, the best dose of cytarabine is unknown, but post-remission therapy appears to improve survival for some patients who achieve remission after standard induction, depending on induction regimen used and MRD status at time of remission.

    Abstract Opinion statement: In patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who require second-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, many options exist. These treatments include alternate generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors and in some cases consideration of allogeneic transplant. Although efficacious, each tyrosine kinase inhibitor possesses distinct side effects and pharmacological profiles that prevent a generalizable treatment approach. Furthermore, there is limited head-to-head trial data that would suggest the superiority of one tyrosine kinase inhibitor over another to help guide treatment decisions in specific clinical settings. Therefore, we treat each patient independently. A patient's treatment plan must be personalized by a variety of clinical factors to optimize response and tolerability. Our general approach is to first examine the reason for treatment failure, which may be due to either intolerance or relapse. Second, we consider the age and patient's comorbidities such as lung disease, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. In patients who have inadequate responses, we analyze the patient's BCR-ABL1 mutational profile, which is beneficial if that patient harbors a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor responsive mutation, such as T315I. Using these steps, we can provide a generalizable approach to choosing the appropriate second-line tyrosine inhibitor for chronic myeloid leukemia.

    Abstract Survival rates for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) older than 75 years are still quite dismal. Recent approvals, therefore, of two agents specifically to treat older patients-glasdegib and venetoclax-have created excitement among the medical community. Clinical data, particularly complete response (CR) rates and CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), look quite promising and are reviewed here. Yet the question remains whether fit elderly patients should receive combination therapy containing the newer agents, particularly since intensive chemotherapy remains the only treatment that has demonstrated the ability to achieve long-term disease-free survival.

    Abstract Induction therapy for acute myeloid leukemia has not changed much since 1973, when the 7 + 3 regimen of cytarabine and daunorubicin was born. Since then, various strategies have been evaluated to improve patient response, including dose intensification, the incorporation of additional agents into the regimen, the development of novel agents, and modified approaches for older patients. Recently, two novel agents, CPX-351 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This review discusses each of the induction strategies and their impact on patient outcomes.

    Abstract Intensive chemotherapy has been the backbone of the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for decades. However, an increase in novel targeted agents, which has been brought about in part by a deeper understanding of the genetic makeup of AML, has led to remission-inducing regimens that do not require traditional cytotoxic agents. Combinations of a hypomethylating agent (HMA) and venetoclax have doubled the chance of remission for patients considered unfit for induction chemotherapy who would have traditionally been offered singleagent HMA. In fact, this regimen may rival the complete remission rate achieved with induction chemotherapy for certain populations such as the very elderly and those with secondary AML, but equivalency has yet to be established. Further advances include the addition of gemtuzumab ozogamicin and FLT3 inhibitors to induction chemotherapy, which improves survival for patients with core-binding factor and FLT3-mutated AML, respectively. Still, much work is needed to improve the outcomes of the highest-risk subgroups: frail patients and those with high-risk cytogenetics and/or TP53 mutations. Promisingly, the landscape of AML therapy is shifting dramatically and no longer is intensity, when feasible, always the best answer for AML.

    Abstract Opinion statement: New technology and improved understanding of the pathogenesis of acute leukemias have allowed for sensitive detection of minimal residual disease (MRD). Despite many years of research demonstrating the prognostic value of MRD, there is no standard of care for measurement of MRD in acute myeloid leukemia. The techniques for assessment are continuing to improve at a rapid pace; however, the benefit of risk-adapted approaches for MRD positive disease remains a major question. This review focuses on recent methodological advances for MRD detection, the role of MRD in prognostication, and current application of the available evidence in guiding therapy decisions.

    Abstract Calcineurin inhibitor pain syndrome (CIPS) is a rare complication of graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT). CIPS presents as severe bilateral lower extremity pain, and the incidence, risk factors, and management of CIPS are poorly characterized.This is a single center retrospective study of patients who received tacrolimus (TAC) following alloHCT to describe the characteristics and management of CIPS and compare to a cohort who did not develop CIPS.Fifteen of 585 alloHCT patients (2.6%) developed CIPS at a median of 5 days following TAC initiation and a median level of 10.5 ng/mL. Severe bilateral foot, ankle, or leg pain were the primary symptoms. Patients with CIPS were younger and more frequently received myeloablative conditioning and total body irradiation compared to patients without CIPS. Analgesic regimens included dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, gabapentinoids, topical diclofenac, and opioids.Clinicians should be aware of this uncommon but severe adverse effect.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Patients with relapsed T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) have limited therapeutic options and a poor prognosis. Although a variety of salvage chemotherapy regimens may be used, response rates are unsatisfactory. This article summarizes current approaches and promising emerging strategies for the treatment of relapsed T-ALL.
    Recent findings: Although nelarabine is the only agent approved specifically for T-ALL, recent studies have identified a variety of genetic alterations and signaling pathways that are critical in its pathogenesis. Based on these findings, a number of small-molecule inhibitors and other targeted therapies are being studied for relapsed T-ALL, including gamma-secretase inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, and mTOR inhibitors. In addition, pre-clinical studies of chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting CD5 and CD7 as well as the monoclonal antibody daratumumab have shown promising results for T-ALL. Relapsed T-ALL currently remains challenging to treat, but recent pre-clinical studies of targeted and immunotherapeutic agents have shown encouraging results. A number of clinical trials investigating these approaches for T-ALL are currently underway.
