- Quality-of-life impact and tolerability of venetoclax/HMA therapy (59:16)
- Emerging options for patients with AML harboring p53 mutations (1:01:03)
- Rationale for the investigation of the novel, first-in-class small molecule APR-246 in combination with azacitidine for patients with AML with TP53 mutations (1:03:30)
