BACKGROUNDEnasidenib, a mutant IDH2 inhibitor, is used to treat IDH2-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Preclinical studies have demonstrated synergy between enasidenib and venetoclax, a BCL2 inhibitor, in IDH2-mutated AML. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and activity of enasidenib plus venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory IDH2-mutated AML or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).METHODSThe ENAVEN-AML study was a single-arm, phase 1b/2 trial conducted at two centres in Canada. Patients were eligible to participate if they were 18 years or older, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2, had a confirmed IDH2 mutation (affecting Arg140 or Arg172), and had AML or MDS that was refractory or had relapsed after at least one line of treatment. Patients were treated with venetoclax 400 mg orally daily with a 3-day dose ramp-up starting on cycle 1 day 1 and enasidenib 100 mg orally daily starting on cycle 1 day 15. The primary endpoint of the phase 1b portion was safety, which included dose-limiting toxicity and the frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), as well as determining the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose. The primary objective of the phase 2 portion was to assess preliminary activity, with overall response rate by intention-to-treat as the primary endpoint. Assessment of safety and activity were determined on the pooled analysis data from the phase 1 and 2 studies. The ENAVEN-AML study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04092179) and is completed.FINDINGSFrom Nov 12, 2020, to July 5, 2022, the study enrolled 27 patients (13 in phase 1b, 14 in phase 2) and the median follow-up was 20·2 months (IQR 15·0-23·0) at the data cutoff on Sept 30, 2023. The median age was 70 years (IQR 55-76); 16 (59%) of 27 patients were male, 11 (41%) female, and 19 (70%) White. 26 patients had relapsed or refractory AML, and one patient had relapsed MDS. The most common grade 3 or worse TEAEs were febrile neutropenia (n=11, 41%), infections (n=8, 30%), thrombocytopenia (n=7, 26%), pneumonia (n=6, 22%), sepsis (n=5, 19%), and anaemia (n=5, 19%). One case of IDH inhibitor-associated differentiation syndrome was observed. Serious adverse events were reported in 17 (62%) of 27 patients, most commonly infections (n=11, 41%) and intracranial bleeding (n=5, 19%). No dose-limiting toxicities or treatment-related deaths were observed. The recommended phase 2 dose was 400 mg daily for venetoclax and 100 mg daily for enasidenib. Of the 26 patients with AML, the overall response rate was 62% (95% CI 41-80; 16 of 26), with 13 (50%) of 26 having complete remission. The only patient with MDS did not respond to enasidenib plus venetoclax.INTERPRETATIONEnasidenib plus venetoclax is safe, with no unexpected TEAEs or treatment-related deaths, and shows preliminary activity in patients with relapsed or refractory IDH2-mutated AML and MDS.FUNDINGAbbVie and Bristol Myers Squibb.

BACKGROUNDRelapsed or refractory multiple myeloma remains incurable. CT071 is a fully human, autologous, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy directed against G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), with expedited manufacturing. This trial aimed to assess the preliminary activity, safety, and cellular kinetics of CT071 in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.METHODSThis first-in-human, single-centre, single-arm, phase 1 study was conducted in China at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had received three or more previous lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, or had double-class refractory therapy, and had progressive disease on the last line of therapy. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2 was required. Patients received CT071 at 0·1 × 106 CAR T cells per kg or 0·3 × 106 CAR T cells per kg. The primary endpoint was safety, which included dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and dose determination. Activity was also evaluated as a secondary endpoint. All patients receiving CT071 were included in the safety and activity analyses. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05838131) and enrolment is complete.FINDINGSBetween April 28, 2023, and June 21, 2024, 23 patients were enrolled and underwent apheresis. Three patients were excluded after apheresis (one discontinued due to rapid disease progression, one due to active infection, and one was withdrawn because of failed manufacture of CAR T cells), thus 20 patients were infused. Median age was 63·0 years (IQR 53·0-65·5). 12 (60%) of 20 patients were male and eight (40%) were female; all patients were Chinese. Median follow-up was 10·71 months (IQR 6·13-12·02). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the recommended phase 2 dose was determined at 0·1 × 106 CAR T cells per kg. Haematological toxicities were the most common grade 3 or worse treatment-related adverse events, occurring in all patients. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 12 (60%) of 20 patients, all of which were grade 1-2. One (5%) patient had grade 3 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. Serious treatment-related adverse events were reported in seven (35%) patients; no treatment-related deaths occurred. Skin-related events included onychomadesis reported in four (20%) patients and rash in one (5%) patient, all of which were grade 1. The objective response rate was 100% (95% CI 83·2-100), with a complete response or better rate of 50% (ten of 20 patients).INTERPRETATIONCT071 demonstrated an encouraging safety profile with compelling activity in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.FUNDINGNational Natural Science Foundation of China and Clinical Research Plan of Shanghai Hospital Development Center.

BACKGROUNDAcute leukaemia represents a crucial health challenge. However, nationwide data delineating the incidence of acute leukaemia subtypes, as well as mortality and survival outcomes, remain scarce in China. We aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the epidemiology of acute leukaemia subtypes across China.METHODSWe conducted a population-based cancer registry analysis and cohort study in China, by integrating data from five national databases through unique national identification numbers. The main outcomes were age-standardised rates (ASRs) for incidence and mortality and overall survival for acute leukaemia subtypes. Acute leukaemia incidence and mortality data in 2019 were extracted from National Cancer Centre (NCC) registries linked to the Hospital Quality Monitoring System (HQMS), stratified by age, sex, and region. ASRs were calculated with Segi's world standard population with 95% CIs across the general population. For the survival analysis, we established a cohort from the Chinese Childhood Leukaemia Registry (33 530 children aged 0-14 years) and National Adult Acute Leukaemia Registry of China (71 477 adults aged ≥15 years) for 2016-20, integrated with the Cause of Death Reporting System and HQMS. Patients were stratified by subtype, age, sex, region, molecular characteristics, treatment modalities, and diagnosis period (2016-18 vs 2019-20). Overall survival and cause-specific survival were assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method at multiple timepoints (1 month, and year 1 to year 5) in our cohort. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors.FINDINGSBased on NCC registries covering a population of 628·4 million, we estimated 43 275 new acute leukaemia cases and 27 049 deaths in 2019 in China, with an ASR for incidence 2·83 (95% CI 2·78-2·88) per 100 000 population and an ASR for mortality of 1·51 (1·48-1·54) per 100 000 population. The ASR for the incidence of non-acute promyelocytic leukaemia-acute myeloid leukaemia was 1·24 (95% CI 1·21-1·26) per 100 000 population, that of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was 0·92 (0·89-0·95) per 100 000 population, and that of acute promyelocytic leukaemia was 0·22 (0·21-0·23) per 100 000 population. The incidence of acute leukaemia spiked in children aged 1-4 years (4·54 per 100 000), then declined, and then rose markedly after age 60 years, peaking at 9·33 per 100 000 in people aged 75-79 years, before declining, while overall mortality remained relatively low across younger age groups (0-44 years), then increased progressively with advancing age, from 1·23 per 100 000 in adults aged 45-49 years to 8·77 per 100 000 in those aged 80-84 years. In children, 5-year overall survival was 66·5% (95% CI 65·3-67·9) for non-acute promyelocytic leukaemia acute myeloid leukaemia, 91·1% (89·6-92·6) for acute promyelocytic leukaemia, and 85·4% (84·9-85·8) for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; in adults, 5-year overall survival was 23·9% (23·4-24·3) for non-acute promye

BACKGROUNDSickle cell disease, one of the most common genetic conditions in the UK, is often considered a neglected disorder, but rigorous quantitative evidence to support this view is scarce. Comparative research of multiple conditions offers an effective way to document inequity and to guide public health policies. Therefore, we aimed to compare indicators of inequity in research and funding for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and haemophilia in the UK.METHODSIn this descriptive comparative study, we compiled publicly available data on disease prevalence for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and haemophilia, alongside seven comparative indicators: the number and value of grants from UK public health research funders (the Wellcome Trust, the National Institute for Health and Care Research, and UK Research and Innovation); resources available to dedicated charities (the Sickle Cell Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and the Haemophilia Society); characteristics of disease registries (the National Haemoglobinopathy Register, the UK Cystic Fibrosis Registry, and the UK National Haemophilia Database); the number of registered clinical trials (the National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials and the EU clinical trials register); number of scientific publications (PubMed); number of drug approvals (the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency); and online disease awareness (Google Trends and Glimpse). We conducted descriptive analyses, including counts, proportions, means, and ratios.FINDINGSWe found marked differences in the seven indicators considered. Sickle cell disease was usually the most neglected condition, particularly when accounting for the number of people affected. The mean annual research funding per person was almost four times higher for cystic fibrosis (£704 [95% CI 697-710]) than for sickle cell disease (£184 [172-196]), and two times higher than for haemophilia (£315 [226-404]).

镰状细胞病是英国最常见的遗传病之一,常被认为是一种被忽视的疾病,但支持这一观点的严格定量证据很少。多种情况的比较研究提供了记录不平等和指导公共卫生政策的有效途径。因此,我们旨在比较英国镰状细胞病、囊性纤维化和血友病的研究和资金不平等指标。方法:在这项描述性比较研究中,我们收集了镰状细胞病、囊性纤维化和血友病患病率的公开数据,以及7项比较指标:英国公共卫生研究资助者(惠康信托基金、国家卫生与护理研究所和英国研究与创新研究所)的资助数量和价值;专门慈善机构可利用的资源(镰状细胞协会、囊性纤维化信托基金会和血友病协会);疾病登记的特征(国家血红蛋白病登记、英国囊性纤维化登记和英国国家血友病数据库);注册临床试验的数量(国家医学临床试验图书馆和欧盟临床试验注册);科学出版物数量(PubMed);药物批准数量(药品和保健产品监管机构);以及在线疾病意识(b谷歌Trends and Glimpse)。我们进行了描述性分析,包括计数、比例、均值和比率。研究结果我们发现所考虑的七个指标存在显著差异。镰状细胞病通常是最被忽视的疾病,特别是考虑到受影响的人数时。囊性纤维化的人均年研究经费(704英镑[95% CI 697-710])几乎是镰状细胞病(184英镑[172-196])的四倍,是血友病(315英镑[226-404])的两倍。每273名镰状细胞病患者中有一项临床试验,而囊性纤维化和血友病患者分别为每53人和55人进行一项临床试验。囊性纤维化的平均年发表数(2431篇)几乎是镰状细胞病(1359篇)或血友病(1193篇)的两倍。解释:比较证据支持镰状细胞病与囊性纤维化和血友病相比在英国的研究和资助方面被忽视的观点。每项指标的最高值,通常在囊性纤维化中观察到,为其他两种情况提供了基准目标。更多的专门研究经费可能会对其他指标产生连锁反应,从而可以指导公共卫生政策,并对镰状细胞病患者的生活质量产生重大影响。资助nhs种族和健康观察站。

Comparative research of multiple conditions offers an effective way to document inequity and to guide public health policies. Therefore, we aimed to compare indicators of inequity in research and funding for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and haemophilia in the UK.METHODSIn this descriptive comparative study, we compiled publicly available data on disease prevalence for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and haemophilia, alongside seven comparative indicators: the number and value of grants from UK public health research funders (the Wellcome Trust, the National Institute for Health and Care Research, and UK Research and Innovation); resources available to dedicated charities (the Sickle Cell Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and the Haemophilia Society); characteristics of disease registries (the National Haemoglobinopathy Register, the UK Cystic Fibrosis Registry, and the UK National Haemophilia Database); the number of registered clinical trials (the National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials and the EU clinical trials register); number of scientific publications (PubMed); number of drug approvals (the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency); and online disease awareness (Google Trends and Glimpse). We conducted descriptive analyses, including counts, proportions, means, and ratios.FINDINGSWe found marked differences in the seven indicators considered. Sickle cell disease was usually the most neglected condition, particularly when accounting for the number of people affected. The mean annual research funding per person was almost four times higher for cystic fibrosis (£704 [95% CI 697-710]) than for sickle cell disease (£184 [172-196]), and two times higher than for haemophilia (£315 [226-404]).

BACKGROUNDBendamustine and rituximab combined with intermediate-dose cytarabine (RBAC) is one of the standard initial treatments for older, fit patients with mantle cell lymphoma. We aimed to investigate whether the addition of venetoclax to RBAC would improve progression-free survival in patients with high-risk mantle cell lymphoma.METHODSFIL_V-RBAC was a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 study done in 35 institutions of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi in Italy. Treatment-naive patients with a histological diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma, aged 65 years or older and fit according to the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi modified comprehensive geriatric assessment (or younger than 65 years and ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2 or less), were classified after enrolment as having low-risk or high-risk disease, based on the presence of blastoid morphology, Ki67 30% or higher, TP53, or 17p deletion. Patients with a low-risk profile received RBAC intravenously (rituximab 375 mg/m2 and day 1; bendamustine 70 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2; and cytarabine 500 mg/m2 on days 1, 2, and 3) every 4 weeks for 6 cycles. Patients with a high-risk profile received four cycles of RBAC followed by fixed-duration oral venetoclax consolidation (4 months, 800 mg/day) and maintenance (20 months, 400 mg/day). The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival for patients with a high-risk profile who received at least one dose of RBAC. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03567876, and this is the final report.FINDINGSBetween Sept 10, 2018, and July 26, 2021, 155 patients were screened for inclusion, 140 of whom were enrolled and analysed for study endpoints. Median age was 72 (IQR 69-76), 107 (76%) patients were male, 33 (24%) were female, and all were White. 54 (39%) patients had a high-risk profile (28 [20%] with TP53 mutations, 19 [14%] with 17p deletions, 34 [24%] with Ki67 ≥30%, and 13 [9%] with a blastoid morphology) and 86 (61%) had a low-risk profile. After a median follow-up of 45 months (IQR 40-55), the 2-year progression-free survival in the high-risk group was 60% (95% CI 48-74) and the median progression-free survival was 37 months (95% CI 19-not reached). The most frequent grade 3 or worse adverse events during venetoclax consolidation were neutropenia (12 [28%] of 43 patients), followed by thrombocytopenia (three [7%]) and skin reactions (three [7%]). During venetoclax maintenance, the most frequent grade 3 or worse adverse events were neutropenia (seven [19%] of 37 patients), followed by thrombocytopenia (two [5%]) and anaemia (two [5%]). One (1%) of 140 patients had a treatment-related death (tumour lysis syndrome during first induction with RBAC in a patient with a high-risk profile).INTERPRETATIONTo our knowledge, this is the first prospective study to stratify patients with mantle cell lymphoma to different treatments according to their risk profile.

This Viewpoint issues a multidisciplinary call to embed sustainability into anticoagulation care, aligning clinical excellence with climate responsibility. Anticoagulation management-including drug manufacturing, laboratory diagnostics, therapeutic monitoring, and long-term follow-up-contributes substantially to health-care-associated carbon emissions. We propose a systems-level decarbonisation strategy, anchored in life cycle assessment methodology, to quantify emissions across anticoagulation care and identify high-impact intervention points. Core strategies include reducing unnecessary laboratory testing, greening laboratory operations through recyclable consumables and energy-efficient infrastructure, transitioning to lower-carbon anticoagulants, and promoting antithrombotic stewardship to reduce dosing errors and drug waste. Digital health technologies, such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and mobile apps, are positioned as enablers of low-emission, patient-centred care. Circular economy principles and carbon-informed procurement are integrated into the therapeutic pathway, supported by policy levers that incentivise sustainable practices. Finally, we call for inclusive engagement of low-income and middle-income country stakeholders to ensure equitable, scalable, and context-appropriate implementation of climate-resilient thrombosis care.

Mature T-cell and natural killer-cell neoplasms are a heterogenous group of uncommon lymphomas. Conventional therapy with mainly cytotoxic chemotherapy for this subgroup is suboptimal, and the treatment outcome is unsatisfactory. With the advances in the understanding of disease biology, considerable progress has been made in recent years. Monoclonal antibodies or antibody-drug conjugates targeting T-cell lymphoma surface antigens have been approved, including brentuximab vedotin, for the treatment of CD30-positive nodal and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and mogamulizumab, for mycosis fungoides and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. Furthermore, immune checkpoint blockade has also shown promise in the management of mycosis fungoides and extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. Epigenetic dysregulation is frequently found in mature T-cell and natural killer-cell lymphomas; hence, therapeutic agents acting on epigenetic regulators, such as histone deacetylase inhibitors, have been tested in clinical trials with promising results. Novel approaches including cell therapy and adoptive immunotherapy are currently being evaluated. In this Series paper, we discuss the limitations of the conventional treatment options and the use of these novel approaches for mature T-cell and natural killer-cell lymphomas.
