Results from a phase I/II trial of cusatuzumab combined with azacitidine in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy

95 views | Mar 07 2023

The phase I/II trial showed that cusatuzumab plus azacitidine was generally well-tolerated and showed preliminary efficacy in newly diagnosed AML patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy, with ongoing investigation into the combination with venetoclax and azacitidine. [Read the Full Post]

Effect of MXRA7 on the Biological Functions of Acute B Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cell Line REH

83 views | Mar 02 2023

The study found a positive correlation between the expression of MXRA7 and acute B-ALL and suggests that knockdown of MXRA7 may be a potential target for the treatment of B-ALL by reducing cell proliferation and increasing sensitivity to cytarabine, but further research is needed to confirm its usefulness.

Fludarabine or cyclophosphamide in combination with total body irradiation as myeloablative conditioning prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia: an analysis by the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT

68 views | Feb 22 2023

In this study, results showed that TBI/Cy conditioning was associated with reduced risk of relapse and increased risk of grade 2-4 acute GVHD, while a matched-pair analysis revealed a reduced rate of relapse and no significant effect on other transplantation outcomes when compared to TBI/Flu, leading to the conclusion that TBI/Cy should be considered a preferable regimen for allo-HCT in adult patients with ALL in complete remission.
