“ASH 2026: 11 AML Oral Abstracts to Watch

With ASH26 approaching, here are AML presentations on my watchlist, spanning frontline therapy, targeted approaches, MRD, and emerging treatment strategies:

  1. Ivosidenib + intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed IDH1-mutated AML, phase 3 (HOVON150/AMLSG29-18)
    Abstract 0001
  2.  Gilteritinib vs midostaurin in newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML (HOVON156/AMLSG28-18/pasha)
    Abstract 56
  3. Bleximenib in R/R KMT2A-rearranged or NPM1-mutated AML, phase 2 CAMELOT-1
    Abstract 661
  4. Cladribine + LDAC + venetoclax vs 7+3 in newly diagnosed AML age ≥60
    Abstract 57
  5. Discontinuation of HMA + venetoclax in newly diagnosed AML with undetectable MRD
    Abstract 1009
  6. Sonrotoclax + azacitidine across ELN 2024 genetic risk groups in treatment-naive AML unfit for intensive chemotherapy
    Abstract 60
  7. Venetoclax + 3-day multi-frequency decitabine vs AZA + VEN in older adults with newly diagnosed AML
    Abstract 1012
  8. Whole-genome-informed MRD testing, prospective multicenter validation (MEASURE)
    Abstract 390
  9. VEN + AZA vs daunorubicin + cytarabine in young adults with ELN adverse-risk AML, phase 2b
    Abstract 1010
  10. Ziftomenib + gilteritinib in R/R NPM1/FLT3 co-mutated AML, first results from KOMET-008
    Abstract 66
  11. FLAI-G frontline therapy in younger patients with FLT3-mutated AML, phase 2 GIMEMA AML2924
    Abstract 903

A particularly interesting year for frontline AML, with randomized comparisons challenging established approaches, expanding targeted therapies, and increasing focus on MRD-guided treatment decisions.

Looking forward to seeing the data and discussions in New Orleans.

Abstract 0001 is currently listed in the ASH press program; oral/plenary status is not yet confirmed.
