Neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment with nivolumab plus relatlimab for resectable stage III melanoma achieved high pathologic complete response and major pathologic response rates. Read More ›

Dual Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Advanced Cutaneous Melanoma
Dual immunotherapy provides significant and durable benefits as first-line treatment and as neoadjuvant therapy in advanced melanoma. Read More ›

MRD status at the time of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation and the number of remissions prior to transplant were shown to be important independent prognostic factors in patients with AML. Read More ›

Addition of venetoclax to FLAG-IDA yielded high minimal residual disease–negative composite complete response rates in newly diagnosed patients with AML, accompanied by a favorable safety profile. Read More ›

The phase 3 AGILE study demonstrated that ivosidenib + azacitidine therapy provided significant survival benefit compared with placebo plus azacitidine in patients with newly diagnosed IDH1 mutation–positive AML who were ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Read More ›

AML patients who underwent allogeneic stem-cell transplantation from unrelated donors while in their second complete remission with post-transplant cyclophosphamide had similar outcomes to those who underwent transplantation while in first complete remission. Read More ›

In the first-in-human phase 1/2 AUGMENT 101 study, SNDX-5613 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and promising antileukemic activity in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory MLL-rearranged and NPM1-mutated acute leukemias. Read More ›
