🔴🟠 HIGH PRIORITY (8+) — Best Finds by Topic

Hematologic Malignancies (AML, MDS, CLL, MPN, Lymphoma)

TR-001 / PMID 42120728 · CRISPR-Cas9 CD33-deleted allogeneic HCT with gemtuzumab ozogamicin maintenance in AML (Phase 1/2) · 9/10 · First-in-class CRISPR antigen-deletion strategy allows post-HCT GO maintenance without destroying donor graft; all 30 patients engrafted by day 28; trial stopped early but proof-of-concept established. (Nat Med)

Novel Therapeutics / Immunotherapy

TR-004 / PMID 42120910 · Adjuvant personalized neoantigen DNA vaccination for MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma: Phase 1 · 8/10 · Personalized DNA vaccine with up to 40 neoantigens/patient met pre-specified 6-mo PFS and 12-mo OS endpoints in 9 GBM patients; no serious AEs; one 4-year long-term survivor. (Nat Cancer)

Cardiovascular-Metabolic / GLP-1

TR-002 / PMID 42120723 · Orforglipron Phase 3b ATTAIN-MAINTAIN trial — oral GLP-1RA maintains weight loss after injectable therapy · 9/10 · Once-daily oral orforglipron maintained 74.7–79.3% of body weight reduction achieved on tirzepatide/semaglutide vs 37.6–49.2% placebo in 376 patients (P<0.001 both cohorts); all secondary endpoints met. (Nat Med)

TR-005 / PMID 42120725 · Pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila MucT for weight loss maintenance: RCT · 8/10 · First RCT evidence of A. muciniphila MucT significantly reducing post-diet weight regain (1.2 vs 3.2 kg placebo, P=0.012) in 90 participants; no serious AEs. (Nat Med)

Early Cancer Detection

TR-006 / PMID 42116274 · SPECTRAL photonic hydrogel platform for ctDNA multi-cancer detection · 7/10 + 🔴EARLY_CANCER_DETECTION · Sequencing-free plasma platform profiles 205 ctDNA mutations + 8 proteins simultaneously; 87.5% accuracy for lung/breast/colorectal classification within 100 min. (Angew Chem Int Ed)

Rare Diseases

TR-003 / PMID 42116163 · Unprocessed U1 snRNAs as biomarker of INTS11- and BRAT1-related neurodevelopmental disorders · 9/10 · First disclosure of BRAT1's role in RNA processing; U1 snRNA misprocessing severity directly predicts clinical severity in BRAT1/INTS11 NDDs; zebrafish model validates causal link. (Genome Med)


🟢⚪ STANDARD (5–7) — Top by Topic

Hematologic Malignancies

CBC/ML Hematology (22nd consecutive sparse window)

No ≥5 articles classified. Best candidate: PMID 42119559 (Dev Cell ML megakaryocyte identification system) — abstract truncated during retrieval; deferred to next run. PMID 42120994 (rank 1 in topic list) also not retrieved; deferred.

Early Cancer Detection

AI/ML in Clinical Diagnostics

Precision Oncology

Rare Diseases


💡 UNSOLICITED FINDS

None identified in this window. All high-signal finds from the sentinel scan (848 results) were already captured by watchlist topic searches. The Nat Med cluster (TR-001, TR-002, TR-005) and Nat Cancer GBM vaccine (TR-004) were the most notable discoveries.

🔧 RUN NOTES

Window: Standard 24h CRDT window (2026-05-12T09:00Z → 2026-05-13T09:00Z). No expansion triggered (≥5 relevant records found).

Notable cluster: Three simultaneous Nature Medicine publications (PMID 42120723 orforglipron, 42120725 Akkermansia RCT, 42120728 CRISPR AML HCT) on the same CRDT date. Likely timed to a major conference or editorial cluster. All three are HIGH priority.

CBC/ML hematology (22nd consecutive sparse window): Two potentially relevant articles deferred:

Truncation: AI/ML diagnostics (150 raw results), immunotherapy (90), cardiometabolic (82), and sentinel scan (848) all had significant tail not reviewed. Top 10 per topic retrieved per schema. Sentinel scan top 8/10 retrieved; all high-signal sentinel results already captured by watchlist topics.

Trem-cel trial caveats: PMID 42120728 scored 9 (NOVEL_TREATMENT, HIGH) but trial was stopped early; 3/30 TRM noted. Phase 2 expansion enrolled only 4 patients. Clinical readiness remains in Phase 1 territory.

Rolling 7-day state (from state.json): CBC/ML hematology has been sparse for 22 consecutive runs. GLP-1/SGLT2 cardiometabolic remains the highest-scoring topic (highest score 9/10 in 3 of last 5 runs). Rare diseases topic produced first HIGH score this week.
