1. In this phase 3 trial, patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia who received gilteritinib had a longer median overall survival and a higher likelihood of complete remission versus chemotherapy. After factoring in therapy duration, serious adverse events also occurred less frequently in the gilteritinib group.
2. Despite...

1. TP53 mutant status significantly associated with bone marrow blast clearance after treatment with decitabine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Evidence Rating Level: 2 (good)
Study Rundown: AML and MDS are clonal myeloid neoplasms. Decitabine is a hypomethylating agent that promotes re-expression of tumor...

1. IV busulfan combined with cyclophosphamide (BuCy) is associated with better leukemia-free and overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) than total body irradiation (TBI).
2. Improved outcomes and greater ease of administration favor BuCy over Cy/TBI for AML patients in first complete remission (CR) undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation...
