| Consuelo Wilkins, MD, MSCI, Senior Vice President for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and Senior Associate Dean for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, always knew she wanted to be a physician. "Health equity was built into everything I did, even if I didn’t know it or recognize it at the time," Wilkins said. "I have always learned and believed that people are the same — everyone deserves to be healthy, and everyone should have the best opportunities to take care of themselves and their families."

Vanderbilt was the lead site for an NIH-funded, phase 2, multicenter influenza vaccine study in pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients that may lead to a change in the current flu vaccine recommendations in this vulnerable population. Natasha Halasa, MD, MPH and colleagues recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, that two doses of high-dose trivalent flu vaccine resulted in higher amounts of influenza-specific antibodies than two doses of standard dose quadrivalent vaccine. https://news.vumc.org/2023/03/02/high-dose-flu-vaccine-beneficial-for-pediatric-stem-cell-transplant-patients/ |

Study CDFV890G12101 is an open-label, phase 1b, multicenter study with a randomized two-dose
optimization part, and a dose expansion part consisting of two groups evaluating DFV890 in
patients with myeloid diseases. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and recommended dose for single
agent DFV890 in patients with lower risk (LR: very low, low or intermediate risk)
myelodysplastic syndromes (LR MDS) and lower risk chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (LR CMML).
