The report also states that significant unmet needs remain in haematological cancer, with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) particularly ill-served, as there is a necessity for more efficacious targeted therapies across all patient subtypes.

Currently, treatment of AML is still limited to conventional DNA-targeted chemotherapy regimens, which achieve long-term survival rates of 25%-50% in patients under 60 years old, and only 5%-15% in older patients, highlighting an urgent need for more efficacious treatments.

The report provides analysis of the haematological cancers treatment pipeline, which is stratified by stage of development, molecule type and molecular target.
