Dr Andrew Wei - Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, Australia

Dr Wei speaks with ecancertv at ASH 2016 about treating AML in elderly patients with venetoclax, a Bcl-2 inhibitor, and cytarabine (ara-c).

He describes patient outcomes following venetoclax 600mg and low-dose cytarabine, with high response and complete remission rates.

Dr Wei summarises subgroup analysis, and outlines how results maturing in the future will better inform any changes to practice.
