Elias Jabbour, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, explains the results of a retrospective analysis investigating the outcomes of third-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). The study demonstrated a substantial benefit in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients treated with ponatinib when compared to patients treated with second-generation TKIs (2G-TKIs), thereby supporting the use of ponatinib as a standard of care (SOC) in the third-line setting. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in New Orleans, LA.
