Article Synopsis
- Researchers evaluated the pharmacology of single drugs and combinations using bone marrow samples from 125 acute myeloid leukemia patients with an advanced automated platform.
- The study utilized whole blood for drug testing and analyzed the effectiveness in depleting leukemic cells over a 48-hour incubation period.
- Results showed significant variability in patient responses to drug treatments, suggesting that personalized ex vivo drug profiles could enhance treatment selection for individuals.
