Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain classifications and outcomes using the 2022 European Leukemia Net (ELN) prognostic criteria. This is based on a pooled analysis of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from the phase 3 VIALE-A trial (NCT02993523) and phase 1b study (NCT02203773).
  2. Analyze the prognostic significance of different genetic factors among patient subgroups, particularly those benefiting from venetoclax-azacitidine, utilizing new molecular signatures derived from bioinformatics. This is also based on data from the same trials.
  3. Identify the clinical implications of the 2022 ELN risk classifications compared to bioinformatic-derived molecular signatures for predicting overall survival in newly diagnosed AML patients.

Release date: November 21, 2024; Expiration date: November 21, 2025.
