Tapan Kadia, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses data from a Phase Ib/II study (NCT04848974) evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of uproleselan added to cladribine and low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) in patients with newly diagnosed treated secondary acute myeloid leukemia (ts-AML) which develops from prior myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) treated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs). Uproleselan is an e-selectin antagonist, hence the rationale for using it in this patient population, as e-selectin upregulation can occur following HMA treatment. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
