3 Intensive chemotherapy cornerstone of AML treatment AML survival %

4 Survival of patients with AML in the Netherlands (NCR-population-based registry ) 100% Relative survival rates 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Years after diagnosis years ( ) years ( ) >70 years ( ) years ( ) years ( ) >70 years ( )

5 Intensive chemotherapy cornerstone of AML treatment AML survival % (7+3) +?

6 Better survival of AML patients in geographic regions with high % of intensive treatment (The Swedish AML registry) allo-tx years Intensive chemo years High allo-tx % High Low Juliusson et al Blood 2012 Gunnar et al Blood 2009

7 In the recent decade increased % of patients receiving allo-hsct (NCR-population-based registry )

8 AML treatment discovery Hovon Auto-Tx Allo-Tx Vellenga et al Blood 2011 Cornelissen et al Blood 2007

9 AML treatment discovery Hovon approach AML survival 100% Early development - Refractory/relapse - Fit elderly - Unfit elderly - Poor/very poor Innovative phase III Up-front young (adult 65 y)

10 AML treatment discovery Hovon approach AML survival 100% Early development - Refractory/relapse - Fit elderly - Unfit elderly - Poor/very poor Phase I/II (targeted) H103 (octopus) New H? (epigenetic) H116 (post-allo-tx epigenetic)

11 Early development refractory/relapse Phase I/II leukemogenesis in 11q23 AML depends on MLL-fusion genes Krivtsov A et al NATURE REVIEWS cancer 2007

14 XPO1 has a function in nuclear transport of tumor suppressors

15 XPO1 inhibitor resulting in accumulation of tumor suppressors in the nucleus inducing cancer cell death

16 AML treatment discovery Hovon approach AML survival 100% Early development - Refractory/relapse - Fit elderly - Unfit elderly - very poor/poor Phase I/II ---> DOT1L inhibitor Fit elderly H > XPO1 inhibitor Unfit elderly H? Very poor/poor H116

17 Early development Unfit Elderly H-? R Epigenetic therapy better survival? azacitidine decitabine

22 Cornelissen et al JCO 2012 Early development very poor/poor AML allo-hsct significantly reduces relapse rate

23 Immuno-therapeutic effect of allogeneic HSCT also present in AML with very poor prognosis Cornelissen et al JCO 2012

24 Early development very poor/poor AML new allo-hsct approach H116 new conditioning regimen- to reduce GVHD post-tx epigenetic/immuno therapy
