In this week's episode we'll learn about targeting NPM1 in acute myeloid leukemia. Researchers report the first clinical evidence of a menin inhibitor inducing complete remissions in AML with a NPM1 mutation. This validates NPM1 as a new therapeutic target in AML, alongside FLT3, IDH1/2, and KMT2A. Also on the podcast: targeting CD137 to prevent graft-versus-host disease. In nonhuman primates, a single dose of a CD137 antibody-drug conjugate provided long-term protection, with one important caveat: the potential for viral reactivation.
