Abstract
Menin inhibitors are targeted therapies for the treatment of genetically defined subsets of acute leukemia. The menin inhibitor revumenib is currently approved for relapsed or refractory leukemia with rearrangement of lysine methyltransferase 2 A (KMT2A). However, multiple other menin inhibitors are currently in clinical development aimed at targeting additional subsets such as nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations which form up to 30% of acute myeloid leukemia. As observed with other targeted therapies for cancer, on-target resistance mutations emerged in advanced cases following monotherapy. Therefore, combination strategies incorporating menin inhibitors are needed to improve durability and depth of remission.
期刊介绍:
The journal Blood Cancer Discovery publishes high-quality Research Articles and Briefs that focus on major advances in basic, translational, and clinical research of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and associated diseases. The topics covered include molecular and cellular features of pathogenesis, therapy response and relapse, transcriptional circuits, stem cells, differentiation, microenvironment, metabolism, immunity, mutagenesis, and clonal evolution. These subjects are investigated in both animal disease models and high-dimensional clinical data landscapes.
The journal also welcomes submissions on new pharmacological, biological, and living cell therapies, as well as new diagnostic tools. They are interested in prognostic, diagnostic, and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and computational and machine learning approaches to personalized medicine. The scope of submissions ranges from preclinical proof of concept to clinical trials and real-world evidence.
Blood Cancer Discovery serves as a forum for diverse ideas that shape future research directions in hematooncology. In addition to Research Articles and Briefs, the journal also publishes Reviews, Perspectives, and Commentaries on topics of broad interest in the field.
