Retrospective Analysis Supports Utilization of Auto-HCT in Relapsed LBCL Achieving a CR
December 10th 2023Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation lowered relapse and progression rates and improved survival outcomes vs CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed large B-cell lymphoma who experienced complete remission with interim treatment.
Obe-Cel Elicits High Remission Rates in R/R B-ALL Irrespective of Leukemic Burden
December 10th 2023Obecabtagene autoleucel elicited durable responses in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia independent of leukemic burden at lymphodepletion, although better outcomes were observed in those with lower burden.
Adding Navitoclax to Ruxolitinib Doubles Spleen Volume Reductions for Myelofibrosis
Up-front treatment with navitoclax plus ruxolitinib significantly reduced spleen volume by 35% or more at week 24 vs ruxolitinib plus placebo in patients with myelofibrosis; however, a significant difference was not observed in total symptom score v. 4.0 between the arms, according to data from the phase 3 TRANSFORM-1 study.
MRD Positivity Correlates With Allogeneic Transplant Benefits in NPM1-Mutated AML
December 10th 2023The presence of molecular minimal residual disease following induction chemotherapy can be used to determine patients with NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia who may benefit from allogeneic transplant in first remission, including those with FLT3 ITD–mutated disease.
Orca-T Shows High Survival Rates in Intermediate-/High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
The high-precision cell therapy Orca-T demonstrated high rates of relapse-free survival, overall survival, and graft-vs-host disease RFS at 1 year, as well as a low incidence of GVHD in patients with intermediate- to high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
Orca-T Demonstrates Feasibility in Older Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
December 10th 2023The use of Orca-T with myeloablative chemotherapy conditioning had comparable safety and efficacy to that of standard allogeneic transplant in younger and older patients with hematologic malignancies, according to data from a phase 1b study.
Second-Line Axi-Cel Prolongs Survival Over SOC in Elderly Patients With R/R LBCL
The administration of axicabtagene ciloleucel in the second-line setting improved overall survival and progression-free survival vs standard-of-care treatment in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who are at least 65 years of age.
Venetoclax Is Associated With Durable ORRs in Real-World Population of BTK Inhibitor–Exposed CLL/SLL
Venetoclax-based therapy generated durable responses both overall and in the second or third line following covalent BTK inhibitor discontinuation in real-world patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Pirtobrutinib Demonstrates Durable Efficacy in Covalent BTK Inhibitor–Pretreated CLL/SLL
Pirtobrutinib continued to showcase clinically meaningful efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who had prior exposure to a covalent BTK inhibitor.
Safety of Outpatient CAR T-Cell Therapy May Be Improved With Integrated Management Process
December 10th 2023The utilization of remote patient monitoring within the first 30 days of outpatient CAR T-cell therapy can promote patient safety, reduce costs, and decrease hospitalization rates by allowing patients with hematologic malignancies to connect with a virtual care platform.
Zanubrutinib Showcases Sustained PFS Benefit Vs Ibrutinib in R/R CLL/SLL
December 10th 2023Zanubrutinib continued to demonstrate improved progression-free survival benefit over ibrutinib in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma, according to extended follow-up data from the phase 3 ALPINE trial.
Dana-Farber Launches New Centers to Detect and Intercept Cancer
December 10th 2023Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is launching a first-of-its-kind, integrated clinic to increase early detection of precancerous conditions and to prevent cancer from arising in individuals at increased risk for the disease.
Ide-Cel Provides HRQOL Benefits Over Standard Regimens in R/R Multiple Myeloma
December 9th 2023Idecabtagene vicleucel resulted in meaningful improvements in symptoms, functioning, overall health status, and health-related quality of life vs standard regimens in select patients with triple-class exposed relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, according to updated data from the phase 3 KarMMa-3 trial.
Bridging Therapy Prior to Axi-Cel Produces Favorable Real-World Outcomes in R/R LBCL
December 9th 2023Although the use of bridging therapy prior to treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel did not improve efficacy or safety outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, responses to bridging therapy may be prognostic of favorable outcomes after axi-cel administration.
Revumenib Combo Showcases Early Activity in Relapsed/Refractory AML
Revumenib, decitabine/cedazuridine, plus venetoclax elicited an objective response rate of 100% with acceptable safety in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia enrolled in the small phase 1/2 SAVE study.
Real-World Analysis Sheds Light on Safety and Efficacy of Teclistamab in R/R Multiple Myeloma
December 9th 2023The T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody teclistamab-cqyv demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in a real-world population of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma consistent with that of those enrolled in the phase 2 MajesTEC-1 trial.
AI Algorithm Effectively Differentiates Between pre-PMF/ET
A machine learning, artificial intelligence algorithm analyzing diagnostic bone marrow biopsy digital whole-slide images was able to effectively differentiate with 92.3% accuracy between prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia.
Neoadjuvant Nivolumab Plus Carboplatin/Paclitaxel Elicits High pCR Rates in Early-Stage TNBC
December 8th 2023Neoadjuvant nivolumab and non–anthracycline containing chemotherapy produced promising pathologic complete response rates regardless of whether nivolumab was administered before or during treatment with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with stage I to IIB triple-negative breast cancer.
Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab compared with placebo plus chemotherapy continued to show a clinically meaningful improvement in event-free survival in patients with high-risk, early-stage triple-negative breast cancer.
Zanidatamab Triplet Shows Positive PFS Outcomes in HR+/HER2+ Metastatic Breast Cancer
Zanidatamab in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in positive progression-free survival outcomes and exhibited an acceptable safety profile in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
