So thrilled to have our Randomized phase 2 trial of pevonedistat plus AZA vs AZA for higher-risk MDS/CMML or low-blast AML now online in leukemia! Spoiler alert: better EFS in higher risk MDS patients with combination! ⁦ @SylvesterCancer ⁩

Starting 2020 caring for inpatients with a new diagnosis of leukemia, or one that has refused to be extinguished, or with complications from our leukemia treatments, am once again awestruck by their dignity, bravery, and love. We are truly privileged in healthcare!

In my 5 years on ODAC, attended a small handful of meetings where we voted “no” for a drug and ⁦ @US_FDA ⁩ approved the drug anyway, but never where we almost uniformly (10-0-1) opposed a drug like Aducanumab for Alzheimer’s.

Living their own lives helps doctors and nurses make better decisions about how to care for their patients.
