ASH 2023 | Cladribine-based chemotherapy for patients with secondary AML arising after MPNs
Lucia Masarova, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses the use of cladribine-based chemotherapy in patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arising from myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Dr Masarova notes that this is a promising, effective approach in this patient population, and most notably, 40% of patients without stem cell transplantation (SCT) were alive 12 months following therapy initiation. Somewhat unsurprisingly, salvage patients who were pre-treated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) had lower response rates and poorer survival outcomes. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
