Agenda

This 2-day interactive virtual meeting with global experts will focus on the treatment of patients with acute leukemia in various countries within Europe.

Day 1: Follow interactive presentations and case-based discussions with your peers on the latest updates for first-line assessments and treatments for adults and young adults with ALL, including the role of MRD, risk stratification, and tolerability and feasibility considerations. Engage with the faculty in panel discussions on optimal treatment and how first-line therapy will influence subsequent treatment options. Discuss regional case studies in newly diagnosed ALL with colleagues across Europe.

Day 2: Join to learn more about current state-of-the-art approaches for relapsed/refractory (R/R) ALL, and the evolving role of transplantation in Europe. Discuss regional case studies in R/R ALL with colleagues and discuss challenges with treating elderly and/or frail patients. Interact with faculty during a panel discussion on patient access and regional challenges across Europe.
