Long-term survival after intensive chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents in AML patients aged 70 years and older: a large patient data set study from European registries

Christian Recher et al.

Summary: The study compared the overall survival and complete remission rates of acute myeloid leukemia patients aged 70 years or older receiving intensive chemotherapy and hypomethylating agents. The results indicated that intensive chemotherapy was associated with better long-term survival and complete remission rates compared to hypomethylating agents in older AML patients.

Reality check: Real-world evidence to support therapeutic development in hematologic malignancies

Benjamin A. Derman et al.

Summary: The landscape for evidence generation in hematologic malignancies is evolving rapidly. Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) derived from RWD are being increasingly used in addition to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to support drug efficacy and regulatory decision-making. Various sources of RWD are available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Collaboration among researchers, regulators and industry partners is essential to optimize evidence generation and ensure patient privacy and minimize biases.

Real-world use and outcomes of hypomethylating agent therapy in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes: why are we not achieving the promise of clinical trials?

Amer M. Zeidan et al.

Summary: Real-world studies have shown that hypomethylating agents (HMAs) are less effective than in clinical trials due to underuse and poor persistence with therapy. Improving utilization and persistence of HMAs is necessary to ensure optimal outcomes for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.

Harnessing the benefits of available targeted therapies in acute myeloid leukaemia

Hagop Kantarjian et al.

Summary: Since 2017, the US FDA has approved nine agents for acute myeloid leukaemia, including Bcl-2 inhibitors, FLT3 inhibitors, and IDH inhibitors. Some of the approved agents are used as single-agent therapies or specific combinations for narrow indications, offering limited treatment value.
