(Adnkronos) - SINOSSI
“Con Venetoclax c’è stato un cambiamento sostanziale per i pazienti che non possono far uso della chemioterapia, permettendoci di trattare molti più pazienti. Siamo soddisfatti perché un notevole numero di persone hanno avuto questo trattamento con un risultato soddisfacente”. Così il Direttore Ematologia all’Ospedale Cardarelli di Napoli, Felicetto Ferrara, a margine della conferenza stampa tenutasi all’Hotel Nazionale sulla leucemia mieloide acuta.

00:00 I would say that it is a substantial change because this category of patients so-called unfit for chemotherapy
00:07 received either palliative therapy, or oral hypomethylants that gave results but were not satisfactory.
00:20 This therapy allowed us to treat more patients than before in an adequate way,
00:26 but also to obtain results that are not substantially different from those of intensive chemotherapy.
00:33 We are particularly satisfied because in practice we are replicating the results of the experimental trials
00:41 that led to the registration.
00:44 I must say that already in 2020 this therapy has been made available in Italy by the IFA
00:51 thanks to our request, to the request of the clinical scientific community,
00:56 so a very large number of patients throughout the nation with acute myeloid leukemia,
01:02 I repeat, not able to receive an intensive therapy,
01:07 have had this treatment with largely satisfactory results,
01:11 so we hope to continue in the future.
