Key clinical point: For AML patients unable to undergo intensive chemotherapy, glasdegib and venetoclax were similarly effective, each in combination with low-dose cytarabine.

Major finding: Overall response rates were higher in the venetoclax study compared to the glasdegib study (48% vs. 24%), but overall survival was similar (hazard ratio 0.75 vs. HR 0.46).

Study details: The data come an indirect comparison of studies of each treatment: the BRIGHT AML 1003 GLAS+LDAC trial, and the VIALE-C VEN+LDAC trial.

Disclosures: The study was sponsored by Pfizer. Several researchers are Pfizer employees and lead author Dr. Tremblay served as a paid consultant to Pfizer during the study.
