Overview

Review article discusses recent therapeutic developments in KMT2A-r acute myeloid leukemia, indicating potential for improved outcomes.

Key Points

This article aims to summarize the molecular pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) linked to KMT2A rearrangements and the latest treatment advancements.
Literature review of experimental studies on KMT2A-r AML pathogenesis and clinical trials for Menin inhibitors and chemotherapy regimens.
Evaluation of the oncogenic mechanisms of KMT2A fusion proteins.
Recent therapies, especially Menin inhibitors, show promise in treating KMT2A-r AML.
Current chemotherapy regimens have shown consistent progress, but prognosis for older patients remains poor.
Encouraging results from ongoing clinical trials with Menin inhibitors necessitate validation through randomized studies.
