ASH Highlights

The results of the current phase 1b/2 study showed that the combination of azacitidine plus lirilumab was well-tolerated in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and poor-risk disease features.

An updated safety and efficacy analysis of a phase 1b study demonstrated a promising benefit–risk profile with the combination of the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax with either decitabine or azacitidine in elderly, treatment-naïve patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for intensive standard induction therapy.

The results of a post-hoc analysis of the RATIFY trial suggest that midostaurin decreases the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) in patients with FLT3 mutation–positive, newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with no negative impact on survival.

This analysis showed that ivosidenib-treated patients with IDH1-mutated (mIDH1), relapsed/refractory, and untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) whose best response is a complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery achieve mIDH1 clearance ≤0.04%.
