Eunice Wang, MD, associate professor, Department of Medicine, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, discusses an ongoing phase III trial looking at vincristine sulfate liposomes injection (Marqibo) for the treatment of patients ≥ 60 years old with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

ALL is highly curable in pediatric patients, though the cure rate in adults is only 40-50%
Patients in this trial are randomized to receive either standard chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy in addition to Marqibo
Marqibo is currently approved in the relapsed/refractory setting but has not been tested in older adults
