Farhad Ravandi-Kashani, MD, on Acute Myeloid Leukemia: AMG 330 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Disease
ASCO20 Virtual Scientific Program
Farhad Ravandi-Kashani, MD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses updates from a phase I dose-escalation study of AMG 330, a bispecific T-cell engager molecule. It showed early evidence of an acceptable safety profile, drug tolerability, and antileukemic activity, supporting further dose escalation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (Abstract 7508).
