About this Research Topic
Accordingly, the therapeutic armamentarium of AML has rapidly progressed in the past few years, driven largely by translational research into its genomic landscape, and an improved understanding of mechanisms of resistance to conventional therapies. As a result of our increasing knowledge of the underlying biology of AML leading to rational drug development, several new targeted agents have been recently added to our therapeutic arsenal, and the treatment landscape has changed substantially since 2017. New targeted drugs have emerged, including venetoclax, midostaurin, gilteritinib, ivosidenib, enasidenib, gemtuzumab ozogomycin, glasdegib, and a liposomal formulation of daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351). For decades, treatment decisions have largely centered around chemotherapy drug intensity. Physicians now have access to an increasing number of drugs with novel mechanisms of action and distinctive side-effect profiles.
This research topic will be focusing on the efficacy of novel therapeutics and promising combination approaches to further improve outcomes in the treatment of patients with AML. We welcome the submission of Original Research, Review and Clinical Trial articles.
