2016 ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition
Jeffrey E. Lancet, MD, of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, discusses study findings on survival following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in older, high-risk acute myeloid leukemia patients initially treated with CPX-351 liposome injection vs standard cytarabine and daunorubicin (Abstract 906).
Marie Bleakley, MD, PhD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, discusses data on using naive T-cell depletion of peripheral blood stem cells, which led to very low rates of chronic graft-vs-host-disease and high survival (Abstract 668).
Martin Schrappe, MD, of Christian-Albrechts University Kiel, discusses study findings on reduced intensity delayed intensification in standard-risk patients defined by minimal residual disease in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Abstract 4).
Catherine Thieblemont, MD, PhD, of Hôpital Saint-Louis and INSERM, discusses in French phase III trial findings on lenalidomide maintenance in elderly patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP in the first-line setting (Abstract 471).
Laurie H. Sehn, MD, MPH, of the British Columbia Cancer Agency, discusses agents in the pipeline for follicular lymphoma, including drugs targeting the immune microenvironment, novel monoclonal antibodies, and emerging immunotherapeutics.
Harry P. Erba, MD, PhD, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, discusses phase Ib findings on vadastuximab talirine in combination with 7+3 induction therapy for patients with newly diagnosed AML (Abstract 211).
