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. Read More ›

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 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. Read More ›

An analysis of response and survival outcomes from the phase 1/2 AG221-C-001 study showed that continued treatment with enasidenib resulted in improved survival and response times in patients with mutant-IDH2 relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Read More ›

A phase 1 dose-escalation study of FLX925, a dual FLT3 and CDK4/6 inhibitor, showed modest antileukemic activity in adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Read More ›

Combination treatment with nivolumab plus azacitidine produced encouraging response rates in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with poor-risk features, and in elderly patients as frontline therapy. Read More ›

In a 1-year follow-up of the ZUMA-1 study, axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; anti-CD19 CAR T) demonstrated significant clinical benefit with manageable adverse events in patients with refractory, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and no curative treatment options, but loss of CD19 and gain of PD-L1 expression in tumors were identified as possible mechanisms of resistance following axi-cel treatment.

Results of this randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial showed that avatrombopag was superior to placebo in terms of the cumulative number of weeks with a platelet response, platelet response at day 8, and durability of platelet response in patients with refractory chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

The current study found no clear evidence linking eltrombopag treatment and risk for cataract development/progression in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Read More ›

The current post-hoc subanalysis of a phase 4 open-label study concluded that the effects on platelet counts after eltrombopag treatment for >2 years was comparable between the persistent immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and the chronic ITP cohorts, with similar safety profiles. Read More ›
