    [VIRTUAL] New approaches to the therapy of beta thalassemia (Osaka) -  Sep 3, 2020 - Abstract #DGHO2020DGHO_1418;    
    Ineffective erythropoiesis caused by TGF-b superfamily ligands via activin receptors and SMAD4-signaling is targeted through the activin receptor ligand trap luspatercept...In animal models, the JAK-Inhibitor ruxolitinib reduced early erythroid precursor proliferation and increased their differentiation...The major future challenge will be not only to find the right single option for an individual patient but also to develop strategies for combining different approaches with the aim of maximum efficacy in parallel to maximum safety. Finally, careful adherence to an optimally designed standard-of-care treatment using transfusion and chelation will be prerequisite to enable patients to benefit from those innovative approaches in the future.

    Newer agents on the horizon are abrogating the downstream sequelae of specific molecular mutations. One challenge for the future is in further modifying response criteria to align with improvements that are clinically meaningful to patients.

    Review, Journal:  Targeting the Microenvironment in MDS: The Final Frontier. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 4, 2020   
    Therefore, successful therapies in MDS should not only target the malignant cells but also reprogram their bone marrow microenvironment. Here, we will provide a synopsis of how drugs currently used or on the verge of being approved for the treatment of MDS may achieve this goal.

    Review, Journal:  Activin Receptor II Ligand Traps: New Treatment Paradigm for Low-Risk MDS. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 29, 2020   
    A phase III randomized clinical trial with luspatercept was recently conducted. Activin receptor II ligand traps may represent a new paradigm for anemia treatment in MDS.

    However, a phase 3 placebo-controlled study including only intermediate-1 risk MDS patients with RBC-TD and thrombocytopenia (NCT01566695) has recently been prematurely terminated, mainly because of toxicity.20 Beyond the described substances, other areas of translational research involve targeting the inflammasome by anti-inflammatory drugs in order to improve anemia. All these efforts will hopefully pave the way for new treatment options in the setting of anemic lower-risk MDS patients and improve outcomes in the near future.

    Review, Journal:  Luspatercept: First Approval. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 25, 2020   
    Based primarily on the results of the phase III BELIEVE trial, subcutaneous luspatercept was recently approved in the USA for the treatment of anaemia associated with beta-thalassaemia. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of luspatercept leading to this first approval.

    Combinations of hypomethylating agents (HMA) with other compounds, and inhibitors of bcl2, such as venetoclax are being developed for higher-risk patients. Finally, hypomethylating agents in combination with donor lymphocytes may lead to long-term remission following molecular or hematological relapse after allogeneic SCT.

    Journal:  Management of myelodysplastic syndromes in 2019: An update (Pubmed Central) -  May 17, 2020   
    New molecules are being studied with some interesting results (luspatercept, venetoclax). This article aims to provide an update on the knowledge that an internist should know for the practical management of myelodysplastic syndromes in 2019.

    Effects of luspatercept on iron overload and impact on responders to luspatercept: results from the BELIEVE Trial () -  May 14, 2020 - Abstract #BSH2020BSH_354;    
    P3
    Luspatercept treatment resulted in statistically significant reductions in serum ferritin, and there was a trend for decrease in liver iron concentration. These data suggest that luspatercept may contribute to improved control of body iron in patients with beta‐thalassaemia who require regular RBC transfusions, particularly in those achieving at least a 33% reduction in RBC transfusion burden.
