Revumenib, Azacitidine, and VENetoclax in Newly Diagnosed KMT2A-Rearranged AML

This study is testing a new treatment combination called RAVEN, which includes revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax, in patients who are newly diagnosed with a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) called KMT2A- translocated AML. People with this type of AML often have poor outcomes, so new treatments are needed that may work better and cause fewer side effects. The study has two parts: 1. Induction Phase: Patients will receive treatment for up to 3 cycles. Each cycle lasts 28 days. The goal is to help the leukemia go into remission. 2. Continuation Phase: After remission and blood count recovery, patients will continue treatment until the leukemia returns, side effects become too severe, the patient receives a stem cell transplant, or another reason to stop treatment occurs. Patients who receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant (stem cells from a donor) may also join a separate part of the study to test revumenib as maintenance treatment after transplant.

Phase I Clinical Trial of ThINKK Adoptive Immunotherapy After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Transplantation in Children With Leukemia or Neuroblastoma

A first-in-class adoptive immunotherapy we called ThINKK, for Therapeutic Inducers of Natural Killer (NK) cell Killing, have been designed for use after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), where the proper stimulation of graft-derived NK cells has been shown to prevent relapse. ThINKK immunotherapy builds on our earlier research on NK cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC) in cord blood and after HSCT. PDC are the sentinels of the immune system. Upon viral nucleic acids detection, PDC secrete a vast array of chemokines and cytokines that stimulate NK cells. PDC stimulation enhances NK cells killing of infected cells that express stress-induced molecules. Cancer cells also express stress-related molecules at their surface. However, NK cells do not receive PDC stimulation when fighting cancer. ThINKK therapy is designed to provide this necessary stimulation.
