Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia KOL Interview

[Newer treatments] are definitely being used in the relapse population, and that’s where they made their mark like most other investigational agents for other cancers. I think the issue is that the response rate with initial induction therapy is so high. Whether or not there is going to be a maintenance-type study strategy, that’s a question with some of these therapies that are relatively low toxicity, but when you have a complete remission rate of 90-95%, and ALL’s not the most common disease – it’s a pretty rare cancer actually – that it’s going to be difficult to do large studies for indications in the randomized setting.
