Phase II Study of Venetoclax Added to Cladribine Plus Low-Dose Cytarabine Alternating With 5-Azacitidine in Older Patients With Newly Diagnosed #AML - One death (2%) within 4 weeks. - CR: 93% - MRD - : 84%, median OS and DFS not reached. ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.1200… #leusm

Which of these statements is true about DLBCL/HGBCL prognostics? Double HIT = DH Double expressor = DE (⬆️ c-myc ⬆️ Bcl2) ABC subtype - Activated B-cell GC subtype - Germinal centre OS = Overall survival PFS = Progression free survival
9%OS - DE worse than DH
9%DH, mostly ABC derived
27%PFS - ABC better than GC
55%IgH/Myc drives DH ⬆️risk

Very interesting CLL13 results at #EHA2022 Addition of ibrutinib does not impact in PFS with current follow up, and is more toxic Clear benefit of obinutuzumab over rituximab in combination with venetoclax

1) Very important trial in #EHA2022 I believe this is the first randomized #AMLsm trial to report in which FIT older patients were randomized to non-intensive arm (10-day DEC) with no difference in OS. This should reassure those worried about not giving IC to older FIT patients
Michael Lübbert presenting data from @EORTC RCT comparing 7+3 induction vs 10-day Decitabine in older AML 1st line. No difference in OS, DAC10 seems less toxic, 50% alloTx rate achieved in both arms. DAC-10 of course means continuous treatment unless transplanted @EHA_Hematology

Gallium trial: Minimal or no role for obinutuzumab in FL , although PFS and TTNT benefit , absence of OS benefit in long follow up. PFS is not a surrogate end point in FL. #EHA2022

#EHA22 #mdssm Wiseman: Durvalumab failed to show benefit (OS was worse, not sig) with Durva/Aza vs Aza. Magro (anti-CD47) is showing deep responses with Aza; survival data pending from ENHANCE study.
