    Abstract Altering the natural history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in unfit and older patients has proved a highly challenging hurdle, despite several decades of concerted clinical trial effort. The arrival of venetoclax (VEN) to the clinical stage represents the most important therapeutic advance to date for older patients with AML. In this review, we will explain how and why VEN works, summarize its remarkable pathway to regulatory approval, and highlight the key milestones that have been important for its successful development in AML. We also provide perspectives on some of the challenges associated with using VEN in the clinic, emerging knowledge regarding mechanisms of treatment failure, and current clinical research directions likely to shape how this drug and others in this new class of anticancer agents are used in the future.

    Abstract Hypomethylating agents remain the current standard of care for patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. Adès et al. report outcomes from a randomised 'pick-a-winner' study design that examined the addition of either lenalidomide, valproic acid or idarubicin in combination with azacitidine, compared to azacitidine alone. Commentary on: Adès et al. A randomised phase II study of azacitidine (AZA) alone or with lenalidomide (LEN), valproic acid (VPA) or idarubicin (IDA) in higher-risk MDS: GFM's 'pick a winner' trial, with the impact of somatic mutations.

    Abstract Abstract: Most patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are 65 years or older. The treatment of AML in older patients has been characterized by distinct patient- and disease-related challenges that have impeded the meaningful progress that has been observed in younger patients with AML. Higher rates of comorbidities and frailty contribute to higher rates of treatment-related complications, whereas adverse disease features such as poor-risk genomics and secondary AML are associated with therapeutic resistance and shortened survival. Intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplant, although still considered standard for many newly diagnosed patients with AML, may not be appropriate for a larger subset of older patients with AML. Lower-intensity approaches such as hypomethylating agents have been widely applied for newly diagnosed older and unfit patients with AML, improving tolerability among this subset, but providing more modest response rates. Numerous analyses have attempted to tackle the utility of higher- versus lower-intensity therapy in older AML and identify the factors that can help choose the approach that best optimizes tolerability and efficacy. Recently, a greater understanding of the genomic and biologic heterogeneity of AML has led to better risk stratification and has contributed to the development of specific targeted therapies that are starting to narrow the gap between safety and efficacy. Newly approved agents, such FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) inhibitors, IDH1 and IDH2 inhibitors, and the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax, as well postremission maintenance therapy with CC-486 (oral 5-azacitidine), are being systematically incorporated into the evolving treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed AML.

    Abstract Molecular testing in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has continued to dramatically advance in recent years, facilitating the ability to detect residual disease at exponentially lower levels. With the advent of the recently updated ELN consensus recommendations, there is increasing complexity to ordering and interpreting measurable residual disease (MRD) assays in AML. We outline the technology itself in conjunction with the relevant testing timepoints, clinically significant thresholds and potential prognostic and therapeutic significance of MRD testing for the major molecular targets in AML. This practical overview should assist haematologists in incorporating molecular MRD assays routinely into their personalised AML clinical management.
