    Abstract Treatment regimens for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have remained largely unchanged until recently. Molecular advances have opened the door to targeted therapies, many of which are in late-phase clinical trials. As new therapeutic opportunities arise, it is appropriate to review key aspects of clinical trial design, statistical interpretation of outcomes, and methods of data reporting. Complete remission and overall survival (OS) are common primary endpoints in early-phase AML clinical trials. OS and event-free survival are frequent primary endpoints in phase 3 trials. Clinical trials are designed to address the primary endpoint using prespecified α and power levels. Interpretation of additional endpoints (eg, secondary endpoints and subgroup analyses) must be viewed in light of a trial's statistical design. Furthermore, variations in reporting of endpoints must be considered in order to understand trial outcomes. Time-to-event endpoints are typically reported using Kaplan-Meier curves, which are visually informative. Statistical data derived from these curves can be complex, and a variety of factors may impact interpretation. The purpose of this review is to discuss the nuances of common AML trial endpoints and their data presentation to better inform evaluation and understanding of clinical trial data.

    Abstract Despite advances in treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the prognosis for patients with relapsed disease is extremely poor. The median overall survival for patients with relapsed AML ranges from 4-6 months and long-term survival from the time of relapse ranges from 5%-20%. Much of the difficulty in establishing a standard of care for relapsed AML is that the disease is clinically and genomically diverse. Nevertheless, significant progress has been made over the past 12 months with the approval of several agents, and the expectation is that additional therapies will be available soon. A brief review follows on the progress made in establishing a standard of care for relapsed AML.

    Abstract Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) are common in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but no recent data on incidence without antifungal prophylaxis are available. We evaluated the incidence of IFDs in patients with AML undergoing induction chemotherapy at Stanford University Hospital from 2012 to 2017, for up to 12 weeks after induction. We also analyzed factors associated with IFD development. Thirty-six of 240 patients (13%) developed at least one proven or probable IFD. Seventy-eight percent of the proven or probable IFDs were due to Candida or Aspergillus species. Infection due to Fusarium and Mucorales was uncommon. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of <500 µL/L at the start of induction was associated with an increased risk of IFD. One hundred and eighty-seven patients (78%) were started on systemic antifungal drugs, even without microbiologic evidence of an IFD. IFDs remain frequent in AML patients undergoing induction chemotherapy without antifungal prophylaxis.
