IL1RAP is an immunotherapeutic target for normal karyotype triple-mutated acute myeloid leukemia.
Surface antigens of potential clinical significance remain under-characterized in AML. The European Leukemia Network classifies normal karyotype AML (NK-AML) mutated for NPM1 (NPM1c) as a distinct entity associated with favorable outcomes if not associated with FLT3-ITD mutation. A subset of NPM1c NK-AML shows additional mutations in 2 genes: FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) and DNMT3 A. These leukemias, also referred to as NK triple mutated AML (NKt-AML), are particularly difficult to eradicate with current treatment options. Therefore, novel therapies are necessary that use proteins specifically expressed at the surface.
