Abstract

In recent years, an explosion of novel agents has shifted the treatment paradigm for patients with acute myeloid leukemia. The optimal place in therapy for many of these novel agents remains unknown due to limited guidance from national guidelines and the way these agents were studied prior to entering the market. A critical evaluation of the literature and incorporation of oncology stewardship principles can be helpful in determining an optimal place for these agents while being mindful of the overall cost that is associated with therapies. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the efficacy and safety data for five controversial agents and provide examples of the use of stewardship practices in determining their place in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
