The prospect that through cell cycle control CDK4/6 inhibition may also enhance the anti-MM activity of CELMoDs, the newly developed IMiDs such as iberdomide, in relapsed-refractory setting is exciting and warrants future investigation.

Given the crucial roles of NAMPT and BCL-2 family proteins in the survival and treatment-resistance of LSCs, RPT1G is emerging as an ideal candidate to be included in novel combinatorial therapies to enhance treatment efficacy of BCL-2 family inhibitors and overcome therapy resistance, improving overall outcome in a wide range of patients with AML and potentially other hematological malignancies.

Patients with new diagnosis AML may be more susceptible to this approach than R/R AML due to higher CXCR4 expression by both blasts and LSCs.
