Naval G. Daver, MD, on the Past Year in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Research

The leukemia expert offered an overview of agents approved by the FDA this year.

Despite only one new FDA approval in 2020 for treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), tremendous progress was still made.

Several new combination regimens, including venetoclax (Venclexta) and azacitidine (Vidaza) for patients with previously untreated AML, showed positive results and improved outcomes.

In an interview with CancerNetwork®, Naval G. Daver, MD, associate professor in the Department of Leukemia at MD Anderson Cancer Center, discussed the latest advancements in AML and what trial data he is looking forward to most in 2021.

This segment comes from the CancerNetwork® portion of the MJH Life Sciences Medical World News, airing daily on all MJH Life Sciences channels.

Although a greater risk of CNS relapse may emerge with immunotherapy-based backbones, toxicities associated with chemotherapy are avoided.
Once a patient-specific dose is determined, an all-oral combination of revumenib plus decitabine/cedazuridine and venetoclax may be “very good” in AML.
Daniel Peters, MD, aims to reduce the toxicity associated with AML treatments while also improving therapeutic outcomes.
Patients with AML will experience different toxicities based on the treatment they receive, whether it is intensive chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
A younger patient with AML who is more fit may be eligible for different treatments than an older patient with chronic medical conditions.
Yale’s COPPER Center aims to address disparities and out-of-pocket costs for patients, thereby improving the delivery of complex cancer treatment.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other indolent forms of disease may require sequencing new treatments for years or decades, said Scott Huntington, MD, MPH, MSc.
Fixed-duration therapy may be more suitable for younger patients, while continuous therapy may benefit those who are older with more comorbidities.
Determining the molecular characteristics of one’s disease may influence the therapy employed in the first line as well as subsequent settings.
A 2-way communication between providers and patients may help facilitate dose modifications to help better manage adverse effects.
