Expert breaks down these findings and more from the GLAMM1 study at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting.

Only 20% of the patient population were reported as being “very good” sleepers when it comes to sleep disturbances.

This is the first trial to show that a measurable residual disease (MRD)–guided approach with treatment beyond MRD negativity has a significant advantage over chemotherapy, both in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival.

The study results shine a light on the potential need for further policy changes that promote gender equity and bridge the gap in R01 funding awarded to female applicants.

Median overall survival is set to be more than 2 years, which is more than double the overall survival of current frontline therapies.

He also provides insight for students training in classical hematology, oncology hematology, or oncology pharmacy.

The efficacy of treatments, which is the outcomes in the ideal clinical trial setting, are known to often be better than the effectiveness of those treatments, which are the outcomes of patients in the real-world setting.
