Long-term first-in-man Phase I/II study of an adjuvant dendritic cell vaccine in patients with high-risk prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy

Anne M. A. Tryggestad et al.

Summary: This study aimed to reduce the risk of biochemical relapse in high-risk prostate cancer patients after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy by administering personalized dendritic cell vaccines as adjuvant therapy. The results showed promising efficacy of the vaccine in reducing biochemical relapse incidence, as well as associations between baseline immune response and vaccine response during the vaccination period. Further investigation in larger cohorts is warranted to validate these findings and explore the potential of dendritic cell vaccines in post-surgical treatment of high-risk prostate cancer.

Research progress on dendritic cell vaccines in cancer immunotherapy

Jifeng Yu et al.

Summary: DC vaccines have shown promising results in the treatment of hematological malignancies, including AML and MDS. Different strategies have been explored, such as using mo-DCs and DCleu as the main types of DCs, and loading DCs with various cancer-related molecules to enhance efficacy. Additionally, combination with conventional chemotherapy, specific antibodies, and immune checkpoint-targeting therapies have been investigated to improve the outcomes of DC vaccination. Overall, significant progress has been made in the field of DC vaccine immunotherapy.

Indirect treatment comparison of oral versus injectable azacitidine as maintenance therapy for acute myeloid leukemia

Ashley Tabah et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of oral and injectable azacitidine in the maintenance therapy of acute myeloid leukemia. The results showed that oral azacitidine was associated with significantly improved overall survival. This has important clinical implications for the maintenance therapy of older patients with AML.

Diagnosis and management of AML in adults: 2022 recommendations from an international expert panel on behalf of the ELN

Hartmut Doehner et al.

Summary: The 2010 and 2017 editions of the European LeukemiaNet recommendations for AML diagnosis and management are widely recognized. There have been major advances in our understanding of AML, including disease classification updates, improvements in genomic diagnostics, and the development of new therapeutic agents. This update includes a revised genetic risk classification, response criteria, and treatment recommendations.

The Role of Wilms' Tumor Gene (WT1) Expression as a Marker of Minimal Residual Disease in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Davide Lazzarotto et al.

Summary: Monitoring Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) is crucial in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for guiding treatment, determining the need for stem cell transplantation, and detecting relapse early. However, more than 50% of AML patients lack specific molecular markers for MRD monitoring. This review focuses on the use of WT1 overexpression as an MRD marker in AML patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy, including stem cell transplantation. The standardized method of European LeukemiaNet is recommended for achieving optimal sensitivity and specificity.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia: An Evidence-Based Review from the American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy

Bhagirathbhai Dholaria et al.

Summary: This evidence-based review examines the role of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in the management of newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and recommends the preferential use of allogeneic HCT with myeloablative conditioning in eligible patients. Allogeneic HCT offers a survival benefit in intermediate- and high-risk AML patients and is now considered part of standard clinical care.

Clinical effects of administering leukemia-specific donor T cells to patients with AML/MDS after allogeneic transplant

Premal D. Lulla et al.

Summary: Leukemia-specific T cells (mLSTs) selectively recognized and killed leukemia antigen-pulsed cells in vitro, showing no activity against recipient's normal cells. Infusions of mLSTs were well tolerated with no severe GVHD, leading to antileukemia effects and promising outcomes for AML/MDS patients after HCT.

AML and the art of remission maintenance

Marcos de Lima et al.

Summary: Relapse in AML is common, and there is no standard maintenance therapy. Ongoing studies are evaluating various therapeutic options, and new strategies are needed to identify patients who will benefit the most.

Molecular Minimal Residual Disease Detection in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Christian M. Vonk et al.

Summary: Although most AML patients achieve CR after initial induction chemotherapy, residual leukemic cells may lead to relapse, with MRD serving as a prognostic marker. Molecular techniques like NGS offer a sensitive assessment of MRD markers, but face challenges such as limited sensitivity/specificity and difficulty in distinguishing mutations. Multiple studies have explored the association between MRD detection by molecular assays and AML relapse, highlighting limitations, challenges, and opportunities.
