Future Horizons in the Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes

February 7th 2025

Panelists discuss how the future treatment landscape for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) appears promising with several ongoing clinical trials exploring novel combinations and targeted therapies, including investigations of venetoclax combinations, magrolimab, sabatolimab, and other immune-based approaches that could potentially improve outcomes across different risk groups and molecular subtypes.

A Deep Dive Into Treatment Approaches for Patients With MDS by Risk Status

February 7th 2025

Panelists discuss how treatment strategies for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are fundamentally guided by risk stratification, with lower-risk patients typically receiving supportive care and less intensive treatments focused on quality of life and symptom management while intermediate- to high-risk patients require more aggressive approaches, including hypomethylating agents and consideration for stem cell transplantation, with emerging data supporting novel combinations and targeted therapies across the risk spectrum.

Clinical Insights: Key Data Presented at ASH 2024 in MDS

January 31st 2025

Panelists discuss how oral decitabine/cedazuridine demonstrated meaningful clinical activity in patients with TP53-mutated myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with a 31% complete response rate and 16.1-month median overall survival, representing an important treatment advance for this traditionally poor-prognosis molecular subgroup.

Comparison of Oral vs Intravenous Hypomethylating Agents in the Treatment of MDS

January 31st 2025
