In this first of two webinars, a panel of national and international experts discuss current standards of care in AML, focusing on the ongoing challenges of treating patients who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy. Through an in-depth discussion of the role of genetic testing in the development of targeted, individualized therapeutic regimens, the faculty panel tackles recommended approaches for some of the most complex AML subtypes, including IDH1, FLT3 and TP53.

After viewing this engaging discussion, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of our experts in a live, 15-minute Q&A session.

Join us to gain a greater understanding of applied strategies for diagnosing and treating patients with AML, including the assessment of performance status versus a “gut feeling”, clinical trials as a treatment option, and the role of VEN-AZA in patients who are older or medically unfit.

Agenda Topics

Changing Standards and Evolving Strategies in AML Patients Unfit for Intensive Chemotherapy
  • Current standard of care for AML: intensive chemotherapy
  • The role of diagnosis and genetic testing in AML treatment decisions
  • Current standard of care in AML patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy
  • Strategies for assessing performance status: geriatric testing versus the “gut feeling”
  • Treatment in an academic center versus the community setting

Target Audience

This activity is intended for hematologists/oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of patients with AML.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Outline current standards of care for intensive chemotherapy in patients with AML
  • Summarize current complexities and limitations in the current management of patients with AML who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy
  • Identify disease and clinical factors specific for AML that render patients unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy
  • Evaluate current approaches to the treatment of older, fit patients with AML and the evolving use of non-intensive therapies in this patient subgroup
