Résumé

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and aggressive leukemia derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). It is associated with a remarkably poor prognosis and unmet need for better therapies. Recently, the first-in-class CD123-targeting therapy, tagraxofusp, was approved for treatment of BPDCN. Other CD123-targeting strategies are in development, including bispecific antibodies and combination approaches with tagraxofusp and other novel agents. In other blood cancers, adoptive T-cell therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells represents a promising new avenue in immunotherapy, showing durable remissions in some relapsed hematologic malignancies. Here, we report on novel and innovative therapies in development to target surface molecules in BPDCN currently in clinical trials or in preclinical stages. We also discuss new cell surface targets that may have implications for future BPDCN treatment.
