VIDEO: ‘Encouraging’ data from two groups assessing blinatumomab, ponatinib in ALL

SAN DIEGO — In this video, Marlise R. Luskin, MD, MSCE, highlights updates from two groups evaluating blinatumomab and ponatinib for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The phase 2 study analysis of blinatumomab (Blincyto, Amgen) and ponatinib (Iclusig, Takeda) from MD Anderson assessed prognosis, while a group from Italy looked at efficacy and toxicity.

“It’s really encouraging,” Luskin, a member of the adult leukemia program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told Healio.
