    Journal:  Telomerase-Targeted Therapies in Myeloid Malignancies. (Pubmed Central) -  May 22, 2023   
    We go on to discuss the development of telomere and telomerase targeted therapeutic candidates within the realm of myeloid malignancies. We overview all mechanisms of targeting telomerase that are currently in development with a particular focus on imetelstat, an oligonucleotide with direct telomerase inhibitory properties that has advanced the furthest in clinical development and has demonstrated promising data in multiple myeloid malignancies.

    Journal:  Novel Approaches and Future Directions in Myelodysplastic Syndrome Treatment. (Pubmed Central) -  May 21, 2023   
    For higher-risk MDS patients, hypomethylating agent monotherapy continues to be the standard of care. However, with various novel hypomethylating agent-based combination therapies in advanced clinical testing and an increased emphasis on individualized biomarker-driven treatment decisions, the standard therapy paradigms might change in the future.

    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:  Anemia in myelofibrosis: current and emerging treatment options. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 5, 2022   
    This review summarizes current and emerging treatments for anemia in MF, including luspatercept and KER-050 (transforming growth factor-β ligand traps), momelotinib and pacritinib (JAK inhibitors), pelabresib (a bromodomain extra-terminal domain inhibitor), PRM-151 (an antifibrotic agent), imetelstat (a telomerase inhibitor), and navitoclax (a BCL-2/BCL-xL inhibitor). Therapeutic combinations with ruxolitinib may offer another treatment approach.

    Imetelstat-Mediated Alterations in Lipid Metabolism to Induce Ferroptosis As Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (ENMCC - 343-345) -  Nov 4, 2022 - Abstract #ASH2022ASH_1599;    
    In vivo AML PDX efficacy of imetelstat was partially diminished by liproxstatin-1 treatment...Anthracycline/cytarabine chemotherapy significantly increased ROS levels in a dose-dependent manner in all AML cell lines tested...Pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis diminishes imetelstat efficacy. These mechanistic insights may be leveraged to develop an optimized therapeutic strategy using oxidative stress-inducing chemotherapy to sensitize leukemia cells to imetelstat providing significantly improved disease control for AML.
