Item Pharmacologic inhibition of the Menin-MLL interaction blocks progression of MLL leukemia in vivo(Elsevier, 2015-04-13) Borkin, Dmitry; He, Shihan; Miao, Hongzhi; Kempinska, Katarzyna; Pollock, Jonathan; Chase, Jennifer; Purohit, Trupta; Malik, Bhavna; Zhao, Ting; Wang, Jingya; Wen, Bo; Zong, Hongliang; Jones, Morgan; Danet-Desnoyers, Gwenn; Guzman, Monica L.; Talpaz, Moshe; Bixby, Dale L.; Sun, Duxin; Hess, Jay L.; Muntean, Andrew G.; Maillard, Ivan; Cierpicki, Tomasz; Grembecka, Jolanta; Dean, IU School of MedicineChromosomal translocations affecting mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) result in acute leukemias resistant to therapy. The leukemogenic activity of MLL fusion proteins is dependent on their interaction with menin, providing basis for therapeutic intervention. Here we report the development of highly potent and orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitors of the menin-MLL interaction, MI-463 and MI-503, and show their profound effects in MLL leukemia cells and substantial survival benefit in mouse models of MLL leukemia. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of these compounds in primary samples derived from MLL leukemia patients. Overall, we demonstrate that pharmacologic inhibition of the menin-MLL interaction represents an effective treatment for MLL leukemias in vivo and provide advanced molecular scaffold for clinical lead identification.Item Survival following allogeneic transplant in patients with myelofibrosis(American Society of Hematology, 2020-05-08) Gowin, Krisstina; Ballen, Karen; Ahn, Kwang Woo; Hu, Zhen-Huan; Ali, Haris; Arcasoy, Murat O.; Devlin, Rebecca; Coakley, Maria; Gerds, Aaron T.; Green, Michael; Gupta, Vikas; Hobbs, Gabriela; Jain, Tania; Kandarpa, Malathi; Komrokji, Rami; Kuykendall, Andrew T.; Luber, Kierstin; Masarova, Lucia; Michaelis, Laura C.; Patches, Sarah; Pariser, Ashley C.; Rampal, Raajit; Stein, Brady; Talpaz, Moshe; Verstovsek, Srdan; Wadleigh, Martha; Agrawal, Vaibhav; Aljurf, Mahmoud; Diaz, Miguel Angel; Avalos, Belinda R.; Bacher, Ulrike; Bashey, Asad; Beitinjaneh, Amer M.; Cerny, Jan; Chhabra, Saurabh; Copelan, Edward; Cutler, Corey S.; DeFilipp, Zachariah; Gadalla, Shahinaz M.; Ganguly, Siddhartha; Grunwald, Michael R.; Hashmi, Shahrukh K.; Kharfan-Dabaja, Mohamed A.; Kindwall-Keller, Tamila; Kröger, Nicolaus; Lazarus, Hillard M.; Liesveld, Jane L.; Litzow, Mark R.; Marks, David I.; Nathan, Sunita; Nishihori, Taiga; Olsson, Richard F.; Pawarod, Attaphol; Rowe, Jacob M.; Savani, Bipin N.; Savoie, Mary Lynn; Seo, Sachiko; Solh, Melhem; Tamari, Roni; Verdonck, Leo F.; Yared, Jean A.; Alyea, Edwin; Popat, Uday; Sobecks, Ronald; Scott, Bart L.; Nakamura, Ryotaro; Mesa, Ruben; Saber, Wael; Medicine, School of MedicineAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative therapy for myelofibrosis (MF). In this large multicenter retrospective study, overall survival (OS) in MF patients treated with allogeneic HCT (551 patients) and without HCT (non-HCT) (1377 patients) was analyzed with Cox proportional hazards model. Survival analysis stratified by the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) revealed that the first year of treatment arm assignment, due to upfront risk of transplant-related mortality (TRM), HCT was associated with inferior OS compared with non-HCT (non-HCT vs HCT: DIPSS intermediate 1 [Int-1]: hazard ratio [HR] = 0.26, P < .0001; DIPSS-Int-2 and higher: HR, 0.39, P < .0001). Similarly, in the DIPSS low-risk MF group, due to upfront TRM risk, OS was superior with non-HCT therapies compared with HCT in the first-year post treatment arm assignment (HR, 0.16, P = .006). However, after 1 year, OS was not significantly different (HR, 1.38, P = .451). Beyond 1 year of treatment arm assignment, an OS advantage with HCT therapy in Int-1 and higher DIPSS score patients was observed (non-HCT vs HCT: DIPSS-Int-1: HR, 2.64, P < .0001; DIPSS-Int-2 and higher: HR, 2.55, P < .0001). In conclusion, long-term OS advantage with HCT was observed for patients with Int-1 or higher risk MF, but at the cost of early TRM. The magnitude of OS benefit with HCT increased as DIPSS risk score increased and became apparent with longer follow-up.
