Elliot Stieglitz, MD

Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a blood cancer that affects young children and is difficult to diagnose. Currently available therapies cure only half of patients, with some children experiencing an aggressive disease course while some children get better with very little treatment. We have now shown that the presence of secondary mutations at diagnosis predicts a poor outcome. We have also shown that DNA methylation profiling can identify patients most likely to experience favorable outcomes.

We recently completed a clinical trial through the Children's Oncology Group for patients with relapsed and refractory JMML. This trial tested the safety and efficacy of the oral MEK inhibitor, trametinib and met its primary objective. This trial was based on extensive pre-clinical testing and a strong genomic rationale. This trial marks an important step towards more effectively treating patients with Ras driven leukemia using targeted agents.

Our current trial (NCT05849662) risk-stratifies patients with newly diagnosed JMML to receive different intensities of therapy based on the number of mutations and DNA methylation signatures at diagnosis. It also combines trametinib with standard-of-care therapy for newly diagnosed patients.
