Prolonged Overall Survival Observed With Oral Decitabine/Cedazuridine in MDS and CMML
September 24th 2021Updated data from the phase 3 ASCERTAIN trial demonstrated that the oral, fixed-duration combination of decitabine and cedazuridine induced a median overall survival of 31.7 months in patients with intermediate- and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
Belumosudil Expands Treatment Options for Chronic GVHD
September 23rd 2021Data from the phase 2 ROCKstar trial demonstrated that belumosudil induced clinically meaningful, durable responses in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease, irrespective of previous treatment received, severity of disease, and number of organs involved.
U2 Plus Pembrolizumab Shows Continued Efficacy at 5 Years in CLL and Richter’s Transformation
September 20th 2021The triplet combination of umbralisib, ublituximab, and pembrolizumab demonstrated durable responses with a tolerable safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Richter’s transformation.
Optical Genome Mapping Offers Potential Tool to Assess Genomic Complexity in CLL
September 19th 2021Optical genome mapping was found to effectively detect most abnormalities defined by standard methods, such as chromosome banding analysis, chromosomal microarrays, and fluorescence in situ hybridization, as well as several additional abnormalities of unknown clinical significance, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Ruxolitinib Represents a Key Clinical Tool in Polycythemia Vera Paradigm
September 11th 2021The JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib has several clinical uses in the treatment of patients with polycythemia vera and plays an especially important role in adult patients who have had an inadequate response to hydroxyurea.
TP53 and IGHV Status Retain Utility as Prognostic Markers in CLL
September 9th 2021Historical prognostic markers for chemoimmunotherapy have largely lost their clinically relevance in the context of targeted therapies for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia; however, IGHV and TP53 mutational status remain important predictive markers of response, now for novel treatments.
Higher Rates of Respiratory Disorders Retrospectively Identified in Polycythemia Vera
September 9th 2021Estimated 4-year mortality rates were greater than 10% in patients with polycythemia vera and vascular complications led to approximately one-third of these deaths, according to a retrospective analysis of the prospective REVEAL trial (NCT02252159) presented during the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO) 2021 Annual Meeting.
Venetoclax Plus FLAG-IDA Elicits High and Durable Responses in Newly Diagnosed AML
September 9th 2021The addition of venetoclax to fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin and G-CSF resulted in high complete response rates and enables a high consolidative allogeneic transplantation rate in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
Final Thoughts on New Developments and Emerging Agents
Panelists conclude by reviewing possible advancements on the horizon in AML such as the potential emergence of Menin inhibitors and bispecific T-cell engagers as well as improved methods for predicting response and preventing relapse.
Treatment Approaches for TP53-Mutated AML
