Researchers with the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) and PrECOG, LLC, will present a variety of abstracts that aim to improve treatments for patients with lymphomas and acute leukemias at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Meeting & Exposition. The meeting is set to occur in San Diego, California, and virtually December 7 - 10, 2024.
Promising results from a phase 2 study (PrE0905) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and new data from the practice-changing E1910 phase 3 trial are among the highlights. Results from the E1910 trial led to an FDA approval in June 2024 after it found that adding the immunotherapy drug blinatumomab to standard front-line consolidation chemotherapy keeps most patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission and improves their survival.
Details for the presentations are below, listed by type and date. Times are shown in Pacific Time.
