LY3410738, a novel covalent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) inhibitor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, it is more effective than Ivosidenib (AG120) and has a potent anti-leukemic effect against IDH1 mutant acute myeloid leukemia in combination with Venetoclax (ABT-199).

Acute myeloid Leukemia (AML) is an aggressive neoplastic blood disorder characterized by proliferation of poorly differentiated cells of myeloid lineage. IDH1 is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) in the citric acid cycle. Somatic gain-of-function mutations in IDH1 occur in ~10% of the newly diagnosed AML patients. The neo-enzymatic activity of mutant IDH1 results in accumulation …

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. Brachytherapy is a highly effective treatment option for prostate cancer, and is the most cost-effective initial treatment among all other therapeutic options for low to intermediate risk patients of prostate cancer. In low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, verifying the location of the radioactive seeds within the prostate and in relation to critical normal structures after seed implantation is essential to ensuring positive treatment outcomes.

One current gap in knowledge is how to simultaneously image the prostate, surrounding anatomy, and radioactive seeds within the …
