Brexucabtagene autoleucel shows promising efficacy and safety in treating relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, including patients with CNS involvement.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and socioeconomic factors enhance risk stratification for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) post transplant, aiming to reduce hospital readmissions and disease progression.

New long-term data highlights the effectiveness and safety of ivosidenib plus azacitidine for treating IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia in vulnerable patients.

Proceeding with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is more cost-effective than delaying the procedure in patients with intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Obecabtagene autoleucel (obe-cel) is shown to be effective and safe for older adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), while brexucabtagene autoleucel's (brexu-cel) expansion predicts durable remission.

Obecabtagene autoleucel showed over 70% response rates in relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), demonstrating efficacy across all age groups in recent trials.

Collaborations between academic and community cancer centers enhance access to care, with success in acute myeloid leukemia and precision oncology.

Caregivers and patients with acute leukemia face unique challenges, prioritizing treatment preferences that impact quality of life and emotional well-being.

The Beat AML Master Trial found high remission rates and promising safety with triplet therapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to Ashley Yocum, PhD.

High body mass index affects outcomes in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve patient survival rates and treatment efficacy.

Revumenib shows promise for high-risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with specific genetic mutations, demonstrating efficacy with no new safety signals.

A new genomic testing algorithm enhances turnaround times for acute myeloid leukemia diagnostics, improving treatment decisions and patient care quality.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) face significant survival disparities and unmet needs for effective third-line treatments, highlighting urgent care gaps.

Second of 2 parts featuring an interview with Stephen Strickland, MD, MSCI,director, Leukemia Research for Sarah Cannon Research Institute. Strickland recently presented data from a phase 1 trial of SENTI-202, an investigational chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR NK) cell therapy. Toxicity with this therapy is lower than seen in many conventional CAR T-cell therapies.

The FDA approved treosulfan in combination with fludarabine as preparation for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in adult and pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).


Two posters presented at the 2024 American Society of Hematology meeting reported real-world outcomes data for patients treated for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

There are a number of considerations both in the short and long term to consider when making treatment decisions for younger patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).

A national survey of Canadian hematologists reveals gaps and variability in supportive care strategies for older adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), emphasizing the need for evidence-based guidelines.

Recently recognized by the World Health Organization, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(7;12)(q36;p13) has previously been associated with MNX1 and ETV6 signaling, although MNX1::ETV6 fusion transcripts have only been confirmed in approximately half of cases.

New treatments and adverse events impacting patient quality of life were among the topics of interest in 2024.

The meta-analysis found indications that autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is associated with higher rates of disease-free survival and relapse-free survival, as well as lower rates of relapse compared with chemotherapy after patients achieved their first complete response (CR).

Phase 2 data show about half of patients with high-risk or secondary acute myeloid leukemia achieved a complete response or complete response with incomplete hematologic recovery after one or two cycles of induction therapy with CPX-351.

With ponatinib (Iclusig) receiving an accelerated approval from the FDA earlier this year for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), updated guidelines could be on the horizon.
