The Future of Ph+ ALL Treatments

Opinion
Video

Medical doctors discuss the future of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) and their five-year outlook for advancements and potential cures for the disease.

This is a video synopsis/summary of a Peer Exchange involving: Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA; Jonathan Abbas, MD; Elias Jabbour, MD; James K. McCloskey, MD; Vivian Tambe Ebot-Tar, PharmD, MBA.

The discussants envisioned the future Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) landscape. Dr Jabbour foresees identifying patients still needing intensive therapy, better tyrosine kinase inhibitors, preventing central nervous system relapse, and potentially stopping therapy after several years via measurable residual disease monitoring. Chemo-free approaches are imminent. Dr McCloskey concurred, highlighting community implementation challenges but tremendous improvements for quality of life. Dr Abbas contrasted historic posttransplant outcomes with far superior responses from today’s oral targeted therapy. Further optimizing initial Ph+ ALL treatment stands to enrich more patient lives. Ongoing advances promise even brighter futures.
