Immunotherapy continues to be an expanding and evolving area of research for AML with many drugs in development. In this show, Dr. Kendra Sweet, an AML expert from Moffitt Cancer Center, shared with us about an antibody drug conjugate called IMGN632 and the current trials using this drug.  IMGN632 targets CD123-positive AML cells and has shown promising results in relapsed/refractory patients in previous AML trials.
