Abstract

Purpose of Review

The extensive genomic characterization of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) led to the identification of a vast number of potential therapeutic targets. We review relevant data that have led to recent approval of new targeted therapies in AML and discuss the most promising drugs currently in development in this disease.

Recent Findings

New formulations of cytotoxic agents, namely CPX-351 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, improve the outcome of defined subgroup of patients. Midostaurin added to intensive chemotherapy is approved in FLT3-mutated AML. More selective FLT3 inhibitors and the IDH inhibitors enasidenib and ivosidenib have shown significant single agent activity in the relapsed setting, and preliminary results of combination strategies are encouraging. The addition of the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax appears to markedly improve the results of hypomethylating agents.

Summary

The therapeutic armamentarium of AML now includes novel cytotoxic drugs, drugs targeting recurrent oncogenes, or functional vulnerabilities of leukemic cells. Further work is required to optimize their integration to the current framework of AML management, including allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Fortgeschrittenes Melanom: Wann den Checkpoint-Inhibitor absetzen?

Eine ICI-Therapie sollte bei Betroffenen mit fortgeschrittenem Melanom mindestens ein Jahr fortgesetzt werden. Bei anhaltendem Ansprechen kann danach offenbar ohne hohes Risiko ein Therapieabbruch erwogen werden.

Positive Phase IIb-Studie zu mRNA-gestützter CAR-T bei Myasthenia gravis

Eine auf das B-Zell-Reifungsantigen gerichtete mRNA-basierte CAR-T-Zell-Therapie wurde jetzt in einer ersten Phase IIb-Studie zur Behandlung der generalisierten Myasthenia gravis mit Placebo verglichen.

NSCLC: Hirnmetastasen durch elektrische Felder eindämmen

Zur Behandlung von Hirnmetasen bei nicht-kleinzelligem Lungenkrebs (NSCLC) stehen verschiedene Optionen zur Verfügung. TTFields – eine lokoregionäre, nicht-invasive physikalische Therapie – könnte sich hier einreihen.

Kontrollkoloskopie nach Polypektomie: Wann ist eine zweite Untersuchung nötig?

Wann benötigen polypektomierte Patienten und Patientinnen mehr als eine endoskopische Nachsorgeuntersuchung? Eine Kohortenstudie aus Großbritannien legt eine konkrete Strategie nahe.
