In this video, Noah Merin, MD, PhD, discusses the results of a study into the use of timdarpacept for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, presented at ESMO Congress.

Merin, director of the leukemia program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, highlighted the study, which examined timdarpacept in combination with azacitidine as a first-line treatment for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and produced what Merin saw as promising results compared with magrolimab in terms of a lower chance of hemolysis.

“This drug might be a better option — this drug might have legs,” Merin said.
