Thomas Cluzeau, MD, PhD, Central University Hospital of Nice, Nice, France, discusses the current landscape of maintenance therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and outlines some areas for future exploration. Currently, only two maintenance therapies are approved, midostaurin and azacitidine, and these are only administered to a small proportion of patients – those in complete remission (CR) and ineligible for stem cell transplantation. Further research is needed into the use of these agents in younger cohorts and in patients treated with novel intensive chemotherapy regimens, such as CPX-351. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
