Alex Bataller, MD, PhD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses an analysis of oral decitabine combined with venetoclax versus decitabine alone in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS). The study found that the combination therapy resulted in a higher and faster response rate but did not improve overall survival (OS). The Phase III VERONA trial (NCT04401748) is anticipated to provide data on azacitidine plus venetoclax in HR-MDS. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
