The FDA has approved a re-engineered formulation of nilotinib with no mealtime restrictions for adult patients with newly diagnosed Ph-positive CP- and AP-CML, or for those resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, including imatinib.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Michael Mauro, MD, delved into the rapidly advancing field of chronic myeloid leukemia treatment.

The study is evaluating AJ1-11095, a novel agent for the treatment of myelofibrosis that did not respond to or relapsed following treatment with a type I JAK2 inhibitor.

A phase 1 study of tapotoclax in high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes demonstrated the agent was tolerable but showed limited efficacy.

Asciminib has gained accelerated approval from the FDA for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.
