Abstract
Background: Glasdegib (GLAS) and venetoclax (VEN) are approved in the US for treating AML in patients aged 75+ or with comorbidities precluding intensive induction chemotherapy. Community oncology outcomes for these therapies are limited.
Research design and methods: This retrospective chart review summarized characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of US patients treated with first-line (1 L) GLAS or VEN for AML using descriptive statistics. The study was not designed or powered to compare GLAS and VEN cohorts.
Results: Among 50 patients receiving 1 L GLAS (82.0% with low-dose cytarabine), 50.0% achieved complete remission (CR), morphological leukemia-free state (MLFS), or partial response (PR). Median overall survival (OS) was 6.9 months (95% CI: 5.4-8.9). A trial-matched GLAS cohort represented 80.0% of all GLAS-treated patients in the study. Among 83 patients receiving 1 L VEN (94.0% with a hypomethylating agent), 51.8% achieved CR, MLFS, or PR, median OS was 8.4 months (95% CI: 5.7-16.2), and 31.3% met pivotal trial eligibility criteria.
Conclusions: This observational study supports the clinical benefit of GLAS and VEN in treating AML patients in the real-world setting.
期刊介绍:
Advanced molecular research techniques have transformed hematology in recent years. With improved understanding of hematologic diseases, we now have the opportunity to research and evaluate new biological therapies, new drugs and drug combinations, new treatment schedules and novel approaches including stem cell transplantation. We can also expect proteomics, molecular genetics and biomarker research to facilitate new diagnostic approaches and the identification of appropriate therapies. Further advances in our knowledge regarding the formation and function of blood cells and blood-forming tissues should ensue, and it will be a major challenge for hematologists to adopt these new paradigms and develop integrated strategies to define the best possible patient care. Expert Review of Hematology (1747-4086) puts these advances in context and explores how they will translate directly into clinical practice.
