VIDEO: Dose expansion study performed on novel BCL-2 inhibitor for acute myeloid leukemia

In this video, Noah Merin, MD, PhD, discusses the results of a Chinese study into the use of venetoclax in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, presented at ESMO Congress.

Merin, director of the leukemia program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, highlighted the study, which was a dose escalation expansion study of a class of drug that AML has already displayed responsiveness to.

“[TQB3909] looks like a plausible member of the BCL 2 class,” Merin said.
