Abstract

Developed in collaboration

Here are the key takeaways from this activity. Deeper insights and evidence, plus an opportunity to receive credit, are available at the "Continue" button below.

  • HSCT with omidubicel results in rapid hematopoietic recovery, reduced rates of infections, and no increase in graft-versus-host disease rates compared with standard UCB transplantation1
  • The MDM2 protein inhibitor siremadlin in combination with venetoclax is safe and effective in the treatment of R/R AML and high-to-very high-risk MDS2
  • Preliminary results of the CPX-351 plus venetoclax arm of the V-FAST trial indicate that time to neutrophil recovery (≥ 500/µL) was 36 days for 18 to 59 age group and 33.5 days for the 60 to 75 age group; the median time to platelet recovery (≥ 50,000/µL) was 36.5 days for the 18 to 49 age group and 30.5 days for the 60 to 75 age group3
  • An open-label, multicenter trial examining the safety and efficacy of IMGN632 as part of a triplet regimen with azacitidine and venetoclax in patients with R/R CD123-positive AML showed higher response rates in patients who received either a higher dose of 45 µg/kg or those receiving 14 or 21 days of venetoclax; ORR was 48% with the triplet regimen, with a composite CR of 30%4
  • Results from phase 1 of the ASPEN-02 study that investigated the safety and efficacy of evorpacept in combination with azacitidine in high-risk MDS showed that evorpacept plus azacitidine is safe and well tolerated in patients with MDS; evorpacept demonstrated promising activity in multiple subgroups of patients with MDS with poor prognosis, including those with prior HMA failure, therapy-related MDS, and TP53 mutations associated with complex cytogenetic abnormalities5
  • Results of a phase 2 study that evaluated the feasibility of combining the TKI dasatinib with prednisone and blinatumomab for the treatment of older patients with Ph+ or Ph-like ALL showed that OS at 3 years is predicted to be 85% (95% CI, 58% to 95%); the Kaplan-Meier estimate of DFS at 3 years was predicted to be 80% (95% CI, 55% to 92%)6
