Significant advancements in the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) in children have improved their outcomes. However, ALL treatment and eradication remain a major challenge in adults. In a recent webinar, two specialists from the US discussed current ALL treatment strategies and goals of future regimens.


Triplet therapy with darolutamide, androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel improves overall survival (OS) by approximately 30 percent vs ADT plus docetaxel in most disease volume and risk subgroups of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), a post hoc analysis of the phase III ARASENS trial has shown.






Rucaparib significantly improves radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) vs physician’s choice of docetaxel, abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) harbouring BRCA alterations whose disease has progressed after treatment with a second-generation androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), results of the phase III TRITON3 trial have shown.
