Jorge Cortes, EHA 2022: Magrolimab plus azacitidine in the patients with AML and HR MDS
Professor Jorge Cortes (Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta, GA, USA) summarizes two more important abstracts from the 27th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) looking at magrolimab, an antibody blocking CD47, “don’t eat me” signal on cancer cells. The first is a phase III trial (NCT05079230) assessing magrolimab in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. The second is a phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03248479) looking at the impact of magrolimab in combination with azacitidine in patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
