Brian Andrew Jonas, M.D., Ph.D. discusses various aspects of this treatment approach, including dosing regimens, response assessments, infectious prophylaxis, management of cytopenias and toxicities, potential alternative schedules (such as shorter cycles or weekly dosing), considerations for specific mutations (IDH1, IDH2, TP53, etc.), and the role of triple combinations. The presentation emphasizes the need for dose modifications, supportive care measures, and careful patient management to achieve optimal outcomes.
