Learning Objectives & Overview
Overview
High-risk* acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has a poor prognosis and remains a therapeutic challenge.1 In this sponsored Symposium, recorded at the 3rd European School of Haematology meeting on how to diagnose and treat acute leukaemias (ESH-AL), three leading experts present and discuss clinical and real-world evidence on the use of Vyxeos Liposomal (Daunorubicin 44mg / Cytarabine 100mg) for the treatment of high-risk* AML, and how this might change the management of the condition.2–5
*High risk AML is defined as newly diagnosed, therapy related AML (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC).
Learning Objectives
After watching this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Discuss the diagnosis, classification and prognosis of high-risk* AML
- Review the clinical and real-world evidence on the use of Vyxeos Liposomal for the treatment of high-risk* AML
- Discuss the impact this evidence may have on the management of high-risk*AML
