Seasons Greetings and Thank You for Your Support
As the year draws to a close we would like to express our appreciation for your continued interest, support and commitment to our work. 2022 has been a great success for the Foundation, with advancements in our CML research and expanding our ongoing commitment to the global CML community. Despite finding our way into a ‘new norm’ after the peak of the pandemic, together we rose to the challenges for one shared mission:
Improving the outcomes for people with CML globally
REMINDER: CML Highlights of ASH from Ravi Bhatia & Michael Mauro
December 2022 - Our last iCMLf Conversation of 2022 will take place this coming Monday.
Don’t forget to join us and Professors Ravi Bhatia and Michael Mauro for the clinical and biological updates on CML presented during ASH. This is the perfect opportunity for those who were unable to attend the meeting or for those who would like to get a recap of the CML data presented.
Date: Monday, December 19th at 2 pm Central European Time on Zoom.

iCMLf CANDID data - The impact of COVID-19 for patients with CML
‘The iCMLf CANDID study gave confidence for physicians worldwide that their patients with well controlled CML were not at greater risk from COVID-19 than the general population and no changes to CML therapy specifically due to SARS-CoV-2 infection were required.’
(Professor Jorge Cortes)
December 2022 - Through 2020-2022 the real-world data from the iCMLf CML and COVID-19 registry has helped to answer key questions on the impact of COVID-19 for patients with CML and continues to explore the impact of specific factors on risks and outcomes, as the pandemic continues.
The recent poster presentation at the American Society of Hematology meeting - "A Risk Model for CML Patients with COVID-19:Importance of Molecular Response in the Context of Age, Comorbidities and Country Income has the conclusion that “based on our personalized risk model, the risk of COVID-19-related mortality was higher in patients not in MMR”. This continues to illustrate the risk factors for people with CML and inform them and their physicians.
Below we summarise the key data that have been presented at major meetings from this important registry.
Getting ready for ASH - Plan your CML Sessions
December 2022 - Only one week to go until the 64th Annual Meeting of the American Haematology Association that will take place in New Orleans from December 10-13, 2022. Participants will have the opportunity to attend the meeting in-person or virtually. Access to the virtual platform will begin on December 7, 2022.
For many of us this will be the first in person ASH since the pandemic began! To help you plan your CML meeting schedule we have compiled a list of CML related sessions for your convenience. There are three exciting opportunities to meet the iCMLf during and after the meeting:
- December 9th from 12.00 – 3.00 p.m. (CST at ASH): The iCMLf Forum will discuss future challenges of CML with presentations on treatment-free remission, disease persistence and resistance in CML
- December 12th from 6.00 – 8.00 p.m. (CST at ASH): Another sub-analysis of the iCMLf CML and COVID-19 CANDID data will be presented during a poster
- December 19th from 2.00 – 2.45 p.m. (Central European Time on Zoom): iCMLf Conversation with key clinical and biological highlights of ASH
We are looking forward to seeing you live in New Orleans or online!

REMINDER: iCMLf Forum at ASH on Dec 9: First results of - Next big Challenges survey
November 2022 - What are the next big challenges in CML? What are the most promising new approaches? What brings us closer to a cure for CML? These are challenging questions and finding a cure for CML is complex. However, we want to address exactly this.
Do you want to help shape the discussion? Then join our speakers and panellists of renowned CML experts for the iCMLf Forum at ASH on December 9th. Details of the program can be found below. Please register ASAP by emailing arlene@cml-foundation.org as we do need to confirm numbers this week.
Even if you cannot attend the meeting in person you can still help. Participate in the survey to let us know the research questions you believe need to be answered to move us closer to a cure for CML.
Have a look at the first answers here...
Join us for CML Highlights of ASH on Dec 19th at 2 pm CET
November 2022 - During our last iCMLf Conversation for the year, in December we will present CML highlights from this year’s American Society of Hematology (ASH) Meeting.
