AbstractMutations in the cohesin complex components (STAG2, RAD21, SMC1A, SMC3, and PDS5B) are recurrent genetic drivers in myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Whether the different cohesin subunit mutations share clinical characteristics and prognostic significance is not known.

In this issue of JAMA, Jabbour and colleagues1 report results from the interim analysis of the PhALLCON randomized trial with ponatinib vs imatinib, combined with reduced-intensity chemotherapy. They found ponatinib to have superior efficacy and a comparable safety profile for frontline treatment of adults with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).

AbstractThe clinical impact of molecular ontogeny in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was defined in patients treated with intensive chemotherapy. In a cohort of 314 newly diagnosed AML patients, we evaluated whether molecular ontogeny subgroups have differential benefit of venetoclax (VEN) added to hypomethylating agents (HMA). In secondary ontogeny (n = 115), median overall survival (OS)(14.1 vs. 6.9 months, P = 0.0054), composite complete remission (cCR 61% vs.

1 INTRODUCTION Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogenous neoplasm characterized by proliferation of immature myeloid cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood, leading to failure of normal hematopoiesis.1 AML is the most common acute leukemia in adults, with a median age at diagnosis of 68 years.
