In a randomized phase II trial (AMLSG 14-09, NCT00867672) of elderly, newly diagnosed AML patients, ATRA combined with decitabine (DEC) significantly improved the overall response rate (ORR) and survival also in patients with adverse-risk genetics, without adding toxicity. We performed a post hoc analysis to determine the predictive impact of TP53 status. Despite a nominally higher ORR, the clinically meaningful survival benefit when adding ATRA to DEC was diminished, but not completely negated, in TP53-mutated patients. Indeed, 2 out of 14 TP53-mutated patients (14%) randomized to a DEC + ATRA-containing regimen lived for > 36 months. Further studies of ATRA combined with hypomethylating agents appear warranted in non-M3 AML patients ineligible for HMA/venetoclax therapy. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00867672.

Given the dismal prognosis for patients with TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the optimal donor for those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed adult patients with TP53-mutated AML who underwent first allo-HCT in CR1 between 2010 and 2021. Outcomes were compared among using a haploidentical donor (Haplo), a matched sibling donor (MSD), and a 10/10 matched unrelated donor (MUD).

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) may rarely worsen after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to mechanical interference from the transcatheter heart valve (THV). Standard surgical approaches in these cases are often challenging due to anatomical constraints. Thus, there is a need for the development of effective alternatives to address this issue.

Germline DDX41 mutations (DDX41mut) are identified in approximately 5% of myeloid malignancies with excess of blasts, representing a distinct MDS/AML entity. The disease is associated with better outcomes compared to DDX41 wild-type (DDX41WT), but patients who do not undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may experience late relapse. Due to the recent identification of DDX41mut, data on post-HSCT outcomes remain limited.

However, the prognostic significance of concurrent molecular abnormalities and clinical features in NPM1-mutated AML remains to be fully elucidated.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 adult AML patients with NPM1 mutations.
Background: This study aimed to identify the diagnostic and prognostic ability of serum miR-411-3p in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 60 AML patients and 60 healthy controls to measure serum miR-411-3p and thereafter discuss its potential clinical value.
Results: Serum miR-411-3p was decreased in AML patients and was even lower in those with M4/M5 subtypes or high white blood cell count or adverse cytogenetic risk.
