BOSTON, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novotech, the global full-service clinical Contract Research Organization (CRO) that partners with biotech companies to accelerate the development of advanced and novel therapeutics at every phase, has released an expert report, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia - Global Clinical Trial Landscape, offering critical data-backed analysis of the latest developments in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) research.
The report presents a comprehensive look at the AML funding landscape, trial density, patient recruitment data across geographies, standard of care, emerging therapies, recent USFDA approvals, and regulatory trends. Importantly it also includes an in-depth SWOT analysis to guide strategic decision-making, prioritize research areas, and identify challenges for clinical stage biotechs.
AML is a malignant condition affecting blood-forming stem cells, marked by disrupted differentiation and uncontrolled growth of myeloid lineages, and is the second most prevalent leukemia in both adults and children.
The Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) - Global Clinical Trial Landscape report notes that since 2019, the global biotech and biopharmaceutical industry initiated over 1,000 clinical trials for AML.
The clinical trial data shows:
“In North America, the United States holds a majority trial share at 86%, while in Europe, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy lead AML trials, showing the region's contribution to advancing research. Within the Asia-Pacific region, China and Australia collectively represent the highest trial share (around 65%). Among the ROW countries, Israel takes the lead with 55% of AML trials,” the report found.
The report includes an examination of the various AML risk factors, including age, gender, chemical exposure, smoking, previous cancer treatments, and genetic predisposition.
It also highlights that chemotherapy is typically used in conjunction with targeted drug therapy to treat AML, however it finds that the treatment paradigm is shifting “to personalized approaches guided by molecular and genetic profiles and incorporating targeted therapies. The goal is to advance precision medicine for AML by understanding its evolving molecular complexities.”
The report states, “Clinical trial initiatives in precision oncology for AML are revolutionizing treatment approaches, driving transformative advancements, and enhancing patient outcomes.”
The incidence data shows key disparities across regions, with Asia claiming almost half of worldwide diagnoses at 46.6% (Europe 22.1%, North America 14.7% and ROW 16.6%). As such, measures have been taken amongst medical professionals in Asia to aid in early detection and support the increasing burden in the region.
Additional key data covered in the report includes:
FDA drug approvals received for AML over the last two years include ivosidenib particularly for its use in combination with azacitidine to treat newly diagnosed AML with a susceptible IDH1 mutation. Olutasidenib capsules received approval specifically for relapsed or refractory AML cases with a susceptible IDH1 mutation. Approval for quizartinib was received for the treatment of newly diagnosed FLT3 ITD-positive AML in adults. Additionally, the LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay also gained approval as a companion diagnostic for quizartinib.
