The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced the approval of Daurismo (glasdegib) tablets for use in combination with a low dose of the chemotherapy cytarabine to treat newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. The treatment is indicated for patients aged 75 years or older who have comorbidities that may prevent the use of intensive chemotherapy.
