- |||||||||| ASXL1 Mutations in AML Are Associated with a Distinct Epigenetic State Which Highlights Vulnerabilities to Specific Epigenetic-Targeted Agents (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5817;
Notably, compared to parental cells, OCIAML3 ASXL1 Y591* cells exhibited reduced sensitivity to standard anti-AML chemotherapeutic agents, including cytarabine, etoposide and daunorubicin...Our findings also demonstrate and confirm that mtASXL1-expressing AML cells exhibited increased sensitivity to BETi (pelabresib or birabresib)...Importantly, in the NSG mice engrafted with luciferized OCIAML3 ASXL1 Y591*, monotherapy with NEO2734 (5 mg/kg QD), pelabresib (30 mg/kg QD) or SEL120-34A (40 mg/kg QD), compared to vehicle control, significantly reduced AML burden. Collectively these findings highlight previously uncharacterized biologic effects of the presence of mtASXL1 and support the rationale for further evaluating AML therapies incorporating BETi, HAT-BETi or inhibitor of mediator kinase.

Treatment with JAK inhibitor (JAKi), e.g., ruxolitinib, venetoclax or hypomethylating agents alone or in combination are ineffective in improving the poor survival in MPN-sAML...Present studies demonstrate that treatment with ATP-competitive, covalent CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) SY-1365, and clinical grade SY-5609, dose-dependently (20 to 250 nM) increased % G1 while reducing the % of cell-cycle S phase SET2 and HEL cells...SY-5609 treatment also exerted synergistic lethality with the BETi pelabresib or BD2-selective BETi ABBV-744 or the CBP/p300 inhibitor GNE-049 in MPN-sAML cells...Additionally, compared to each drug or vehicle control, co-treatment with SY-5609 and OTX015 (30 mg/kg/day by oral gavage) reduced more MPN-sAML burden and significantly improved survival in a HEL-Luc/GFP xenograft model without inducing toxicity. These findings demonstrate promising preclinical activity of CDK7 inhibition against the cellular models of MPN-sAML, supporting the rationale to further evaluate in vivo efficacy of CDK7i-based combinations against advanced MPN with excess blasts or MPN-sAML.

Journal, Monotherapy: Matching-adjusted indirect comparison of pelabresib/ruxolitinib combination vs JAKi monotherapy in myelofibrosis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2023 P1/2 Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) ruxolitinib, fedratinib, and pacritinib are the current standard of care in symptomatic myelofibrosis (MF)...Given the absence of a head-to-head clinical comparison between JAKi monotherapy and JAKi with BETi combination therapy, we performed an unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison analysis to adjust for differences between studies and allow for the comparison of SVR35, TSS50, and TSS measured at several timepoints in arm 3 of MANIFEST (pelabresib with ruxolitinib in JAKi treatment-naive patients with MF), with data from the following JAKi monotherapy studies in JAKi treatment-naive patients: COMFORT-I and COMFORT-II (ruxolitinib), SIMPLIFY-1 (ruxolitinib and momelotinib), and JAKARTA (fedratinib)...Improvements in TSS were observed as early as Week 12 and were durable. These results indicate that pelabresib with ruxolitinib may have a potentially higher efficacy than JAKi monotherapy in JAKi treatment-na
