Targeting the nuclear export receptor exportin-1 in acute myeloid leukaemia: From biology to clinical translation

Targeting a specific cancer protein with newer drugs shows promise in certain leukemia patients, with tests helping predict who will benefit most.

This comprehensive review maps XPO1's leukemogenic role in AML and synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence for selinexor and eltanexor, including response biomarkers and resistance mechanisms. It argues for molecularly selected populations and biomarker-guided dosing as the path forward for SINE inhibitors in AML.
