Targeting Dyserythropoiesis in Clinical Practice (Auditorium; Virtual) - Apr 25, 2023 - Abstract #MDS2023MDS_123; Luspatercept, effective in lower-risk MDS with SF3B1 mutations, on the other hand, seem to act through making later stages if erythropoiesis more effective...More than 30% of MDS patients receive either EPO or azacytidine as first-line intervention, while other therapeutic options excluding stem cell transplantation are given to less than 3% of cases. Time-dependent multivariable analysis show that transfusion dependency at 8 months confers a stronger prognostic value both for lower and higher-risk MDS than RBCT status at diagnosis and hence could be used as a clinically useful contribution to patient information and clinical decision-making.

Antibody-Based Therapy of MDS (Auditorium; Virtual) - Apr 25, 2023 - Abstract #MDS2023MDS_122; Magrolimab is an anti-CD47 antibody which is currently in late stage development in MDS; it has been combined with azacitidine based on preclinical data suggesting synergistic activity and is currently being studied in the phase III ENHANCE study comparing azacitidine to azacitidine+magrolimab...Sabatolimab is an anti-TIM-3 antibody currently being studied in MDS in the phase III STIMULUS trial, comparing azacitidine+placebo to azacitidine+sabatolimab...Luspatercept is a fusion protein which incorporates the Fc portion of the IgG heavy chain, fused to a modified extracellular domain of the activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB)...Together, antibody-based therapies represent a promising new therapeutic area in MDS. This abstract will review the current landscape of antibody-based therapeutics in MDS, including data for their use to target immune checkpoints, cancer-specific ligands, and also as part of ligand traps for relevant signaling pathways that are overactive in MDS.

Therapies of Anemia (Excluding MDS-RS Treatment) (Auditorium; Virtual) - Apr 25, 2023 - Abstract #MDS2023MDS_81; Luspatercept, a TGFbeta family ligand-trap induces nearly 50% of RBC transfusion independence in MDS with ring sideroblasts ( RS), but it has been shown to be active also in transfusion dependent non-RS LR MDS both in first line and after failure of ESA treatment. The telomerase inhibitor imetelstat has shown efficacy and disease modifying activity in LR MDS ESA refractory or relapsed, who did not receive lenalidomide or hypomethylating agents...Another approach has been represented by the oral hypoxia

Review, Journal: Current Therapeutic Landscape in Lower Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 25, 2023 Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant is the only potentially curative option and is usually reserved for medically fit patients with severe symptomatic cytopenias who failed all standard options and/or the disease is progressing toward higher risk categories. Fortunately, novel investigational therapies are rapidly emerging by targeting different biological processes contributing to MDS pathogenesis, and eligible patients should be managed in clinical trials if available.

Why the last? This chapter was written years ago, before the IPSS-M, before the 5th edition WHO, before the ICC, before important new biological and genetic discoveries, before luspatercept and ASTX727 approval, and potentially imetelstat soon. So it’s already partly obsolete. (Twitter) - Mar 4, 2023
