Presented by Ehab Atallah, MD. There is a significant unmet need in existing treatment paradigms for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to poor survival and intolerability to cytotoxic chemotherapy, especially for a generally older patient population. Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) have demonstrated a benefit in patients with AML, especially those who require less aggressive therapy, but there is a need for improved efficacy and survival outcomes. In this activity, participants will learn about HMAs in existing treatment paradigms, as well as the investigational landscape of novel therapies in combination with HMAs, and their potential impact on treatment outcomes for patients with AML.
