Elias Jabbour, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, briefly discusses olverembatinib – a novel, potent BCR:ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which was studied as monotherapy or in combination with blinatumomab in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (NCT04260022). The study showed that olverembatinib administered as monotherapy or in combination was well tolerated and efficacious in heavily pre-treated patients with CML or Ph+ ALL who were either resistant or intolerant to ponatinib and/or asciminib. Dr Jabbour hopes this agent will provide a therapeutic option to patients who have failed several prior lines of therapy. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
