Adding Nivolumab to Induction Chemotherapy Safe in Younger AML Patients

This video highlights a phase II trial that tested the addition of nivolumab to combination induction chemotherapy of cytarabine and idarubicin for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

In this video, Farhad Ravandi-Kashani, MD, of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, discusses a phase II trial that tested the addition of nivolumab to combination induction chemotherapy of cytarabine and idarubicin for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Ravandi-Kashani presented results of the study (abstract 815) at the 2017 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, held December 9–12 in Atlanta.

Stay up to date on recent advances in the multidisciplinary approach to cancer.
