Dr Mike Dennis speaks with ecancertv at BSH 2016 about the most recent results of the multinational AML17 trial.

Using varying dosages of duanorubicin across the randomized trial, Dr Dennis reports a maximum tolerated dose of 60mg, with significant benefits to patient survival.

Most notably, he describes a specific benefit to patients with FLIP3 mutations.

He also reflects on study construction between American, English and European trials, and how to optimise techniques for best patient outcomes.
