Research into acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has focused on identifying new therapeutic targets and improving clinical decision-making. Initial studies demonstrated that combining FLT3 kinase inhibition with Hedgehog pathway inhibition produced a synergistic anti-cancer effect, which selectively reduced the transport of specific proteins into extracellular vesicles.

Subsequent developments have expanded on drug combination strategies and diagnostic modeling. Researchers identified that a three-drug combination of inobrodib, venetoclax, and gilteritinib was more effective at targeting resilient leukemia stem cells in laboratory models than individual or dual treatments. Additionally, the development of the HSCT-64 machine-learning model utilizes transcriptomic data to assist clinicians in determining the necessity of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for pediatric AML patients.
