Immunotherapy is one of the most promising areas of cancer research. Drugs like checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal and bispecific anitbodies, antibody drug conjugates and CAR-T cell therapy are all extensively being studied in AML. In this show, Dr. Joseph Jurcic, an AML expert from the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University, shared with us about the progress being made in immunotherapy. He discussed an exciting new immunotherapy drug in development called magrolimab and several clinical trials using this monoclonal antibody and immune checkpoint inhibitor.
