SAN DIEGO — In this video, Akriti Jain, MD, provides two updates on intensive treatment regimens for acute myeloid leukemia presented at ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition.
The first presentation assessed measurable residual disease-directed treatment intensification, according to Jain, a leukemia and myeloid disorders physician at Cleveland Clinic.
The second presentation investigated a regimen of venetoclax (Venclexta; Genentech, AbbVie), cytarabine and mitoxantrone for patients with relapsed/refractory AML.
“That’s also a promising addition of venetoclax to an intensive treatment regimen,” Jain said.
