Favourable/intermediate ELN-risk acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) (e.g. those harboring t(8;21) or inv(16) or NPM1A mutations or CEBP-alpha bi-allelic mutations) account for 30% to 50% of all newly diagnosed AMLs [1,2]. In this setting, conventional induction treatments may induce complete remission (CR) in up to 70% to 80%, but relapses still occur in 40% to 50% of cases and, at the end, no more than 30% to 40% of patients can be cured. Therefore, the optimization of post- remission therapy represents the greatest challenge in the treatment of favourable/intermediate-I ELN-risk AML... Read More»
