Beyond Blast Counts: How Menin Inhibition Redefines AML Immunophenotypes and Survival

This study explores how the menin inhibitor revumenib induces significant immunophenotypic shifts in AML patients. Results show that over 50% of patients undergo lineage changes, and achieving MRD negativity remains the strongest predictor of long-term survival, necessitating new approaches to flow cytometry monitoring.

Quizartinib Added to Standard Chemotherapy Improves Event-Free and Overall Survival in Newly Diagnosed FLT3‑ITD–Negative AML: Findings from the Phase II QUIWI Trial

In the randomized, double‑blind phase II QUIWI trial, adding quizartinib to standard induction/consolidation chemotherapy and single‑agent maintenance significantly improved event‑free survival and overall survival for adults 18–70 years with newly diagnosed FLT3‑ITD–negative AML versus placebo.

DAGO2 (daunorubicin+cytarabine+fractionated gemtuzumab) outperforms CPX‑351 in older adults with non‑adverse‑risk AML: insights from NCRI AML18

In NCRI AML18 (n=439, median age 68), DAGO2 produced higher early CR/MRD‑negative rates and superior 3‑year EFS and OS versus CPX‑351 in older adults without adverse‑risk cytogenetics; survival differences persisted across key subgroups including NPM1 and FLT3 mutations.
