Short Shares Post-Conference Perspectives in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia From ASCO and EHA 2023

Welcome to OncLive On Air^®! I’m your host today, Caroline Seymour.

OncLive On Air^® is a podcast from OncLive^®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive^® covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, sponsored by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, we had the pleasure of speaking with Nicholas James Short, MD, an assistant professor in the Department of Leukemia and Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, to discuss data in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that were presented at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting and EHA Congress, including findings from the phase 3 PhALLCON trial (NCT03589326), phase 2 FELIX trial (NCT04404660), and more.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Short provided post-conference insights on the role of ponatinib (Iclusig) in ALL, its effect on minimal residual disease negativity, the potential effects of obecabtagene autoleucel on the armamentarium given its pharmacodynamic and safety profile, and research highlighting the importance of immunotherapy to the future of B-ALL management.
