t-MDS treatments boost remission with HMA combinations, yet overall survival still lags; experts await breakthrough therapies that extend life and preserve quality of life.
Uma Borate, MBBS, is a hematologist specializing in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and clonal cytopenias of unknown significance. She received he master of science in pathobiology and molecular medicine from the University of Cincinnati and completed a fellowship in hematology/oncology at the University of Alabama.

t-MDS treatments boost remission with HMA combinations, yet overall survival still lags; experts await breakthrough therapies that extend life and preserve quality of life.

Azacitidine plus venetoclax boosts response rates in therapy-related high-risk MDS, enabling transplant bridging despite frequent severe cytopenias and infection risk.

Explore why therapy-related high-risk MDS resists standard HMAs and how azacitidine plus venetoclax aims to improve outcomes and bridge to transplant.

Phase 2 trial tests azacitidine plus venetoclax in therapy-related high-risk MDS, showing remissions and better posttransplant survival despite TP53 mutations.

With the Oncology Brothers, Uma Borate, MD, discusses how the combination of venetoclax with an IDH1 inhibitor and 7+3 chemotherapy leads to higher remission rates and MRD negativity in IDH1-mutated AML, offering a promising treatment option for these patients.

With the Oncology Brothers, Uma Borate, MD, discusses how CPX-351 demonstrates superior efficacy over 7+3 chemotherapy in treating acute myeloid leukemia with mutations in measurable residual disease (AML-MR) by specifically targeting the genetic mutations driving the disease, leading to improved patient outcomes.

With the Oncology Brothers, Uma Borate, MD, discusses how ziftomenib is showing promising results as a targeted therapy for NPM1-mutated and KMT2A-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the ongoing KOMET-007 trial, offering potential new treatment options for this challenging patient population.

Following their review of updates from clinical trials presented at ASH 2023, the Oncology Brothers provide their key takeaways on recent data in myelofibrosis and acute myeloid leukemia.

Medical oncologists discuss the results from the SAVE and AUGMENT-101 clinical trials investigating revumenib in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Uma Borate, MBBS, and the Oncology Brothers provide insights gleaned from the MANIFEST-2 study, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study on pelabresib plus ruxolitinib for JAK inhibitor treatment–naïve patients with myelofibrosis.

Following ASH 2023, Uma Borate, MBBS, joins the Oncology Brothers, Rahul Gosain, MD, and Rohit Gosain, MD, to discuss results from the TRANSFORM-1 trial investigating navitoclax plus ruxolitinib in patients with untreated myelofibrosis.
