Sankalp Arora, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, presents the five-year follow-up results of a Phase II clinical trial (NCT01787487) of ruxolitinib (RUX) and azacitidine (AZA) combination therapy in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndromes (MDS/MPNs) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). In this cohort of patients, durable disease responses were seen with RUX-AZA, which led to improved disease outcomes. Dr Arora highlights that patients with high-risk disease highly benefited from this combination in the front-line setting. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
