Real-world treatments and clinical outcomes in unfit AML patients receiving first-line treatment or best supportive care in Italy (CURRENT study)

Abstract

Real-world data on treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia unfit for intensive chemotherapy are lacking before the advent of precision medicine in this setting.Herein, we present the Italian sub-analysis of the CURRENT study in AML patients unfit for first line intensive chemotherapy, evaluating patients’ outcomes between 2015 and 2018.Among 74 evaluable patients, 62 received systemic treatments (most used therapy was hypomethylating agents), while 12 best supportive care.Key results include both efficacy and safety data, as well as HCRU and treatment patterns. In first-line therapy cohort median OS was 13.4 months vs. 2.7 months for BSC.
