Josep-Maria Ribera, MD, PhD, Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, briefly comments on the results of the PhALLCON trial (NCT03589326) comparing ponatinib versus imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Results showed ponatinib was superior to imatinib in combination with reduced-intensity chemotherapy, with a higher measurable residual disease (MRD)-negative complete response (CR) rate. This interview took place at the 28th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.
