Unmet needs and recent updates in CML
Manage episode 303622442 series 2838329
The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has substantially evolved since the FDA approval of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib in 2001 - the first targeted therapy for CML. Since then, several second- and third- generation TKIs have emerged in the field, as well as other novel therapies. Despite this, around 20-30% of patients with CML will require changes of treatment due to resistance, intolerance or suboptimal responses and thus alternative treatment approaches are needed.
In this podcast, Joaquin Martinez-Lopez, MD, PhD, of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain, gives a brief overview of unmet needs and novel therapeutic approaches for patients with CML, as discussed at the 18th International Myeloma Workshop (IMW 2021).
