October 20, 2022

Richard M. Stone, MD, highlights how uproleselan disrupts E-selectin in the AML tumor microenvironment, the variety of AML regimens that uproleselan may amplify in efficacy, including chemotherapies and venetoclax combinations, and the need for further research to determine whether minimal residual disease negativity rates will improve patient prognoses.

October 18, 2022

Rory Shallis, MD, discusses the investigation of uproleselan in acute myeloid leukemia.

October 17, 2022

Although the exact role of minimal residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia requires further definition, MRD status could help provide a clearer pathway for treatment decisions in this patient population.

October 10, 2022

Tapan M. Kadia, MD, discusses the use of E-selectin as a target for treatment in acute myeloid leukemia.

September 29, 2022

E-selectin has emerged as a viable target in acute myeloid leukemia, and agents like uproleselan have the potential the increase AML cells’ sensitivity to chemotherapies such as cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine.
