Jan-Niklas Eckardt, MSc, MHBA, Technical University Dresden, Dresden, Germany, comments on the potential of using bone marrow smear images to predict response to venetoclax plus azacitidine (ven-aza) combination therapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Dr Eckardt discusses an artificial intelligence (AI) model that is being developed, which can analyze images from bone marrow smear images acquired at initial diagnosis to identify patients who will respond to treatment. In an initial study, the model demonstrated over 80% accuracy and is now being prospectively and externally validated. This interview took place at the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
