Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in Congenital TTP: New Insights from a Multicentre Study with 121 Patients
Conclusion: At present, the Hereditary TTP Registry is the largest cohort on cTTP, to our knowledge. The large number of different mutations as well as confounding factors, including multi-ethnic and geographical factors in our internationally compiled patient cohort make unravelling the genotype-phenotype correlation in cTTP challenging. Yet, for c.4143_4144dupA, we can conclude that homozygous patients with ADAMTS13 c.4143_4144dupA are clinically less severely affected than compound heterozygotes due to the later onset of the disease in homozygotes, whereas the clinical characteristics are similar between compound hetero...

Asciminib, a Specific Allosteric BCR-ABL1 Inhibitor, in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Carrying the T315I Mutation in a Phase 1 Trial
We report results from the largest cohort: pts with confirmed T315I mut at screening (tested locally by Sanger sequencing) and treated with asciminib 200 mg BID, which showed the most robust efficacy (data cutoff: April 30, 2018).At the data cutoff, treatment was ongoing in 23/24 pts (95.8%) (Table); 1 pt (4.2%) had ended treatment. Median duration of follow-up and asciminib exposure were both 28.5 wk (range, 0.1-74.7 wk). Most pts had received multiple prior TKIs, and PON was the most recent TKI for 12/24 (50.0%). Pts who were PON naive had underlying conditions, such as CV risk factors. Eight of 24 pts achieved MMR by 24...
