Which subgroups of patients benefit most from a Ven+Aza combination?

Fenaux explains the current use for Ven+Aza before outlining early efficacy data from trials investigating this combination for high-risk MDS, highlighting the effect on earlier response rates and preventing later myelosuppression.
