APL-like subset within NPM1-mutated AML: A distinct immunophenotype correlating with early vascular complications. (PubMed, Hemasphere)
We validated these clinical and molecular findings in an independent validation cohort of 302 NPM1 mut patients enrolled in the acute myeloid leukemia study group (AMLSG) 09-09 clinical trial, which included the administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to all patients and a randomization for gemtuzumab ozogamicin. In this cohort, the APL-like immunophenotype was associated with events occurring within the first 15 days but did not influence mortality, likely due to protocol-driven patient selection. Our findings have important clinical implications that warrant the development of studies exploring disease-tailored clinical measures to mitigate the risk of early vascular events, as in current APL management.

Adding Bortezomib and Bendamustine to High-Dose Melphalan in Autologous Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma-A Single Centre Retrospective Study. (PubMed, EJHaem)
Compared with standard HDM, the BBM-protocol in ASCT2 was associated with a smaller decline in progression-free survival relative to the ASCT1, and a consistent trend toward higher effectiveness across other measures. These findings suggest that BBM may help preserve efficacy in the setting of repeated transplantation and underscore the need for larger prospective studies to confirm these results.

Targeting BCL-2 and PI3K signaling pathways enhances cytotoxicity of gemtuzumab ozogamicin against acute myeloid leukemia cells. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
Such inhibition caused cell line-dependent changes in the expression of apoptotic regulators, including BCL-2, MCL-1 and p53 protein, suggesting that cellular context shapes responses to combined treatments. In conclusion, our findings identify BCL-2 and PI3K inhibition as a promising new approach to sensitize AML cells to GO therapy, and highlight the importance of these pathways in determining the cellular response to gemtuzumab ozogamicin.

Retrospective analysis of inotuzumab-associated hepatotoxicity in adult patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Expanding the Spectrum of calicheamicin syndrome. (PubMed, J Oncol Pharm Pract)
Median time to hepatotoxicity improvement after InO discontinuation was 18 days, and no patients progressed to SOS.ConclusionCalicheamicin Syndrome represents a reproducible and reversible hepatotoxic entity distinct from SOS, characterized by InO exposure, transaminitis, thrombocytopenia, abnormal hepatic imaging, and HSC on pathology. Early recognition may facilitate monitoring and prevent progression to severe hepatic injury.

Unusual Nasopharyngeal Localization of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient was treated with six cycles of rituximab-bendamustine, resulting in complete regression of the nasopharyngeal mass and reduction in splenomegaly, with minimal residual lymphadenopathy and good clinical and biological tolerance. This case highlights the importance of considering CLL in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal masses and emphasizes the role of combined imaging, histology, and immunophenotyping in establishing an accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate management.
