The event will feature two leading clinical experts, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Amer Zeidan, MBBS, MHS, from the Yale School of Medicine, and Prof. Dr. med.

A live question & answer session will follow the main session.
The discussion will also set the stage for the upcoming data that will be presented in an oral presentation at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting on December 12, 2022 from the ongoing Phase 2 ADVANCE II study evaluating DCP-001 as a potential maintenance therapy for AML patients in remission with measurable residual disease (MRD). The results will include the most recent survival data from the study, as well as extensive immunomonitoring data.
