Clonal Hematopoiesis is defined as the presence of mutations in peripheral blood in the absence of myeloid malignancies and is thought to occur as a normal part of ageing due to the fitness advantage conferred by these mutations in an ageing hematopoietic compartment.

Hypomethylating agent (HMA) failure myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients have poor outcomes and urgent need for novel therapies. Hedgehog pathway signaling upregulation plays a central role in myeloid neoplasm pathogenesis and leukemia stem cell survival. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of the smoothened inhibitor glasdegib in HMA-failure MDS (n = 35, median age 73 years). According to the
