The treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has seen dramatic advances with the approval of multiple novel agents in recent years. However, unlike solid malignancies, immune checkpoint inhibitors have yet to garner regulatory approval in AML and MDS with recent randomized clinical trials yielding only underwhelming results. Novel targets have been explored in early phase clinical trials with impressive results leading to ongoing subsequent controlled trials.

Objective/background: Relapse is the most common cause of treatment failure after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). No standard of care exists, and a wide range of treatments are used for post-alloHCT relapse. In the recent era, several novel therapies including targeted agents are available for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),
