Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Adam de Smith, PhD, discussed findings from a study investigating a genetic variant that increases the risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Hispanic/Latino pediatric patients. 

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Doris Hansen, MD, delved into the background, methods, design, and results from 3 recent myeloma studies.

A phase 1/2 trial showed that SLS009 in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax achieved a 50% response rate in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

During a Targeted Oncology™ Case-Based Roundtable™ event, Curtis Lachowiez, MD, discussed targeted therapy for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm and its role in patients who could receive allogeneic stem cell transplant.

The frontline standard-of-care regimen for patients with higher-risk MDS and some with lower-risk MDS remain hypomethylating agents, such as azacitidine, decitabine, and decitabine/cedazuridine.

The FDA granted orphan drug designation to LYT-200, a drug being investigated for treating acute myeloid leukemia.
