The clinical impact of immunosuppression termination (IST) after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains to be fully elucidated. This study was aimed at assessing the impact of IST within 2 years after transplantation on subsequent clinical…

Posttransplant maintenance with venetoclax (Venclexta) plus decitabine (Dacogen) and cedazuridine (Inqovi) following a reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) transplant regimen of venetoclax plus fludarabine and busulfan (FluBu2), along with tacrolimus (Prograf) plus methotrexate…

Measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring has become a critical component in the management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), to inform prognosis, guide therapy, and serve as a key end point in clinical trials. The 2025 update of the MRD guideline provides a comprehensive and…

Menin inhibition leads to an antileukemic effect through hematopoietic differentiation. Treatment with the menin inhibitor revumenib results in clinical remissions in relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with either rearrangement of lysine methyltransferase…

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (tMN) is a fatal consequence of exposure to cytotoxic therapy administered in the treatment of cancer. Individuals with pre-existing TP53 clonal hematopoiesis (CH) are at high risk of tMN, with avoidance of therapy being the only strategy to…

Despite concerns about the toxicity of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in older patients, prospective data characterizing prevalence or risk stratification for geriatric morbidity such as disability or frailty are limited. We prospectively assessed the…

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is associated with infectious and organ toxicities. Dose optimization may reduce these risks while maintaining efficacy. We initiated a prospective pilot study in July 2024 evaluating reduced-dose PTCy (35 mg/kg on days +3 and +4; PTCy70)…

Selection of a hematopoietic progenitor cell donor for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo HCT) is essential for treatment planning; however, the parameters that define an "optimal" donor in the modern era are not well defined. Historically, donor-recipient human…

Aside from allogeneic transplantation, the current standard-of-care approach for higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (HR-MDS) remains monotherapy with a hypomethylating agent (HMA), including azacitidine, decitabine, or oral decitabine/cedazuridine. Many attempts…
