GlycoMimetics’ Uproleselan in Combination With Venetoclax/HMA Shown to Break Chemoresistance, Reduce Tumor Burden and Increase Survival in AML Model
Oral presentation at 62nd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition points to potential role for uproleselan as foundational therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
“As in previously reported models, uproleselan has shown benefit when added to multiple chemotherapy regimens. These data, showing the potential benefit of adding uproleselan to a combination therapy of venetoclax and HMA, are important given the rapid changes in the landscape of approved AML therapies as well as those in development. The data strongly support conducting a clinical trial with this combination therapy,” said
“Given investigator interest in this data, we’re actively exploring opportunities for investigator-sponsored clinical trials to study the implications in humans. If successful, these studies would further reinforce our goal of demonstrating the value of uproleselan across the spectrum of AML patients and with a variety of therapeutic combination regimens,” she added.
