Jordan Clark, the chief commercial officer at Diaceutics, discusses 

 retesting in a relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) setting.

Researchers conducted online surveys among hematology oncologists across five European countries (United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy) to gain their perspectives on the need for retesting for 

. There were recent publications showing that the stability of 

 is dynamic, according to Clark. The need for retesting is very important with second-generation 

 TKIs and to ensure physicians have an accurate status for that patient before they go on therapy, Clark added.

The surveys, conducted from 2018 to 2019, showed that there was a 43% increase in prevalence of 

 retesting rates among clinicians in the five European countries surveyed. The rise seems to result from increased awareness of the unstable status of 

 and an increase in education on targeted therapies in the second-line setting. Patients with AML who were being retested for 

 increased by 2.6 (14.9% to 38.3%) and 2.9 (15.9% to 45.4%) fold in 

-positive and -negative patients, respectively.
