For Patients and Caregivers

An immuno-myeloid approach focusing on TIM-3 expression may help address the immune dysfunction of HR-MDS and AML.^1-5 Watch Dr Komrokji explain.

Immune dysfunction has emerged as a key driver of HR-MDS and AML^1-3

GET THE DETAILS

TIM-3 may be responsible for immune dysfunction in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and AML^4,5

SEE THE EVIDENCE

Can addressing immune dysfunction lead to durable responses in patients with HR-MDS and AML?

AML: acute myeloid leukemia; HR-MDS: higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes; TIM-3: T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3.
