Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) can potentially cure some of these patients who are able to achieve a second or greater remission with salvage chemotherapy. Unfortunately, several barriers exist to transplantation and not all patients with r/r AML are able to proceed to allo-SCT. Therefore, novel therapies to decrease the risk of relapse in these patients are urgently needed. Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) protein has emerged as an encouraging vaccine target in AML due to its overexpression in leukemic blast cells and near absence in normal hematopoietic cells. Maintenance therapy with galinpepimut-S, a multivalent heteroclitic WT1 peptide vaccine, holds promise in early phase trials, in patients with AML by inducing a strong innate immune response against the WT1 antigen, leading to the design of this international, open-label, randomized clinical trial, named REGAL.

In recent years, APOBEC3s (A3s) have received increasing attention due to their pivotal roles in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of ESCC. This comprehensive review systematically summarizes the latest research progress on the mechanisms of action of A3s in ESCC and discusses their impact on the development and therapeutic considerations for ESCC, with a particular focus on their potential role in immunotherapy.
