Abstract published as part of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting
Study shows Annamycin effectively targets both Cytarabine (Ara-C) and Venetoclax resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines from heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory primary AML patients in vitro
Lack of apparent cardiotoxicity, improved organotropism, synergy with Ara-C, and possible immune-memory reinforcing properties appear to contribute to the favorable performance of Annamycin in clinical settings
Such preclinical data appear to correlate with preliminary clinical data showing Annamycin in combination with Ara-C achieving a 60% CRc rate in subjects who relapsed from or were refractory to Venetoclax as a first line therapy
