Biologic Insights and Clinical Trial Design for AML

Biologic Insights and Clinical Trial Design for AML

Author: American Society of Hematology February 5, 2026 Duration: 22:56

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Paresh Vyas and Andrew Hantel on their research published in this week's issue of Blood. Dr. Vyas discusses his paper, "Rapid clonal selection within early hematopoietic cell compartments presages outcome to ivosidenib combination therapy", which provided new insights as to when and how to intervene to circumvent resistance to AML remission. Dr. Hantel will speak about his paper, "Impact of Modernizing Eligibility Criteria on Enrollment and Representation in AML Clinical Trials". For a real-world cohort of more than 2200 patients with AML, they reported that modernized, safety-based criteria could nearly double trial eligibility, with especially pronounced gains among historically underserved groups.  Both studies highlight how biologic insight and thoughtful trial design can drive more effective, inclusive advances in AML treatment and research.
