People with the subtype of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) associated with fusion of MEF2D with other genes show quite poor prognosis. Most patients fail to respond to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or other conventional treatments. Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine have reported a lead compound that could treat BCP-ALL.

“The lack of therapeutic precision in treatment of myeloid malignancies is in sharp contrast with the fact that myeloid cancers represent the perhaps best characterized cancers of all at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels,” Johanna Olweus told her audience at the Friday plenary session of the European Hematology Association 2025 Annual Congress.

Dizal (Jiangsu) Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.’s LYN/BTK dual inhibitor, DZD-8586, saw tumor shrinkage in 94.1% of patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma following Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the company reported during an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025 conference.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most prevalent hematological malignancy. Despite advances in the field, about 60% of patients with AML do not survive >5 years. It is an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets for managing AML.
