Myelodysplastic Syndrome: Understanding

Myelodysplastic Syndrome: Overview

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a heterogeneous group of hematologic neoplasms classically described as a clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells leading to dysplasia and ineffective hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. Some patients with MDS may have a transformation into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MDS is usually diagnosed in older patients over the age of 65. Clinical manifestations include a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBC), platelets, and white blood cells (WBC). The disease course is variable.

Development of MDS may occur due through various mechanisms such as environmental exposures to chemicals like benzene, radiation, prior exposure to chemotherapeutic agents, or may be idiopathic, which are typically seen in the elderly population. Bone marrow failure syndromes like acquired aplastic anemia and Fanconi anemia have a risk of developing MDS and sometimes mimic this syndrome.

MDS can be de novo or secondary to other causes, also known as treatment-related MDS. Chemotherapeutic agents such as alkylators or topoisomerase II inhibitors have been implicated as known causes of MDS, usually occurring 2 to 7 years after exposure. The mechanism for the development of MDS has been implicated by various genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, which may occur de novo or secondary to one of the above etiologies. Cytogenetic abnormalities are seen in more than 80% of patients and include translocations or more commonly, aneuploidy (loss or gain of a chromosome). Changes in cytogenetics play a large role in the International prognostic scoring system (IPSS). Deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q) is the most common abnormal karyotype and may be subdivided into 2 categories: treatment-related MDS with 5q deletion, usually with exposure to alkylating agents, versus de novo isolated 5q deletion. Patients with 5q deletion related to prior chemotherapeutic agents usually also have other cytogenetic abnormalities and/or TP53 mutations and usually portends a poor prognosis. Isolated 5q deletion without other cytogenetic abnormalities has a significantly better prognosis. Other cytogenetic abnormalities commonly studied include normal karyotype, deletion 7q (-7), trisomy 8 and -Y.

The mainstay of treatment for MDS involves assessment of symptoms and potential morbidity attributed to the disease. Patients do not always require treatment as long as they are asymptomatic and most can be treated with supportive measures such as intermittent blood or platelet transfusions. MDS often portends an indolent or gradual course, though some patients have risk factors that put them at risk for transformation into AML. Oncologists will use the IPSS or R-IPSS scoring system to help guide the course of treatment. Treatment options include supportive measures, low intensity treatment with systemic agents, or high intensity treatment such as allogeneic stem cell transplant. The only curative modality remains an allogeneic stem cell transplant, but this is often difficult as MDS occurs more commonly in the elderly population. Candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplant must be carefully selected, as the transplant process itself can be morbid for patients with potentially significant treatment-related mortality, especially in the elderly population. However, high-risk patients who are able to undergo transplant have around 50% survival at 3 years. Treatment decisions are often individualized to each patient and based upon potential morbidity and mortality from treatment. Patients in intermediate or high-risk categories are generally considered for treatment.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Myelodysplastic Syndrome report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome Emerging Drugs

MBG453: Novartis Sabatolimab (MBG453) is a humanized monoclonal antibody (hIgG4, S228P) directed against the human T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3). TIM-3 is a novel target expressed on multiple immune cell types and leukemic cells and blasts but not on the normal stem cells that induce blood formation. Currently, the drug is in the Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of Myelodysplasticsyndromes.

Tamibarotene: Syros Pharmaceuticals Tamibarotene (formerly SY-1425) is an oral selective retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARa) agonist. The company is developing treatments for genomically defined subsets of patients whose disease is characterized by the overexpression of the RARA gene. Approximately 50% of MDS patients and 30% of AML patients have RARA overexpression. When RARa is expressed in excess of its tightly controlled natural ligand, cells in the bone marrow may not differentiate into healthy myeloid cells, which can lead to hematological malignancies. However, when oral tamibarotene is administered, tamibarotene binds to RARa, allowing for the restoration of gene expression and myeloid differentiation. The company is currently investigating tamibarotene in the Phase III SELECT-MDS-1 trial in newly diagnosed higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) patients with RARA overexpression.

CA-4948: Curis CA-4948, which is being developed by Curis, is a small-molecule IRAK4 kinase inhibitor. Inhibition of IRAK4-L activity with emavusertib (CA-4948) blocks leukemic growth in non-clinical experiments. Because IRAK4 plays a central role in this pathway, it is considered an attractive target for the generation of therapeutics to treat these B-cell malignancies as well as certain inflammatory diseases. As part of the collaboration with Aurigene, in October 2015, Curis exclusively licensed a program of orally available, small molecule inhibitors of IRAK4 kinase, including emavusertib (CA-4948). Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Myelodysplasticsyndromes.

RVU120: Ryvu Therapeutics RVU120 (SEL120) is a specific, selective inhibitor of CDK8 and its paralog, CDK19. A first-in-human Phase Ib clinical trial with RVU120 in patients with AML or high-risk (HR)-MDS is currently ongoing. Preclinical studies indicated the strong antileukemic potential of RVU120, which was often associated with the multilineage commitment of CD34+ AML cells. Moreover, RVU120 could improve proliferation and induce erythroid differentiation of CD34+ cells derived from Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) patients.
