When a new phenomenon is reported, despite many previous reports on larger cohorts of patients, one naturally asks why the finding is novel. Is this a new phenomenon, or merely identified because one is looking carefully for it for the first time? This commentary explores possible reasons for the novel finding of essential thrombocytopenia emerging in a cohort of Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. Commentary on: Bertoli et al.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents a genetically heterogeneous malignancy, with mutations in the nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) gene identified as the most prevalent and clinically significant molecular biomarkers. These mutations play a crucial pivotal role in the realms of diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. Although an ideal measurable residual disease (MRD) test has yet to be developed, there is increasing acknowledgment of the significance of advanced molecular methodologies for monitoring MRD in NPM1-mutated (NPM1) AML.

This study investigates genomic alterations (GA) between NPM1-mutated (NPM1mut) and wild-type (NPM1wt) acute myeloid leukemia (AML), aiming to better understand the AML genomic profile. NPM1mut AML represents a distinct clinical AML subtype with high relapse rates despite initial responsiveness to chemotherapy. A total of 4206 AML cases from 2019 to 2024 were analyzed using the FoundationOne Heme assay, incorporating comprehensive DNA and RNA sequencing.

Purpose Of Review: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by NPM1 mutations or KMT2A rearrangements depends on abnormal epigenetic programs mediated by menin, a critical scaffold protein for sustaining the expression of oncogenic HOX/MEIS1 genes. Therefore, menin inhibitors have become a promising class of AML treatments.
Recent Findings: Early-phase trials have shown that agents such as revumenib, ziftomenib, bleximenib, and enzomenib are active, particularly in relapsed/refractory disease, with 23-48% of patients achieving composite complete remission.
