Objective/background: Relapse is the most common cause of treatment failure after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). No standard of care exists, and a wide range of treatments are used for post-alloHCT relapse. In the recent era, several novel therapies including targeted agents are available for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),
A drug that targets a common mutation in
Targeted therapies are designed to work against specific vulnerabilities in a cancer cell.
The targeted therapy drug venetoclax is designed to block the function of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein, which normally works to prevent cell death.
Key Points
Recipient telomere length is independently associated with overall survival and NRM after transplantation for MDS.
