CD123-Targeted Therapy Shows High Efficacy in Two Aggressive Blood Cancers

PVEK, a CD123-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, demonstrated strong response rates in two studies. Combined with VEN/AZA, it produced high remissions in CD123-positive AML and as monotherapy, it delivered high responses in high-risk BPDCN patients.
