The CD33-directed antibody-drug conjugate vadastuximab talirine showed good tolerability in a phase I single-agent trial, says Ravandi, with the only toxicity being myelosuppression.
This led to a trial combining low doses of vadastuximab talirine with HMA, given on the last day of therapy with either azacitidine or decitabine.
