Criteria for identifying patients with MDS most likely to benefit from transplant and choosing the optimal donor source and conditioning regimen on a case-by-case basis.

Safety and toxicity data from a clinical trial investigating a novel, precision-engineered allo-HSCT conditioning regimen for older patients with high-risk blood cancers.

Caron A. Jacobson, MD, and Miguel-Angel Perales, MD, review the impact of real-world analysis and how they may shape guidelines and clinical approaches with respect to the use of CAR T-cell therapy in LBCL.In particular, they note how continued research bolsters the safety profile of these agents.

Caron A. Jacobson, MD, discusses the significance of a real-world follow-up analysis of liso-cel in which safety and efficacy findings in patients with comorbidities and others who were not eligible for clinical trials were consistent with those studies.

This session will focus on considerations and outcomes of allo-HSCT specifically among patients over 55 years of age. The panel will discuss how transplant protocols and supportive care measures can be optimized for this population who are at higher risk of comorbidities, toxicity and poor functional status.

An overview of promising novel cellular therapies showing efficacy against hematologic cancers in early-phase clinical trials.

Miguel-Angel Perales, MD, shares background on the unique design of a real-world analysis of liso-cel in LBCL in which he and his co-investigators prospectively collected retrospective data.

Miguel-Angel Perales, MD, shares insight into the factors he considers when deciding if a patient should receive CAR T-cell therapy in the second line.

Provide detailed case studies highlighting the development, clinical presentation, multidisciplinary management, and outcomes of patients with acute and chronic GvHD following allo-HSCT.

Caron A. Jacobson, MD, and Miguel-Angel Perales, MD, share considerations for sequencing CAR T-cell therapies in patients with LBCL, depending on treatments they have already received.

Caron A. Jacobson, MD, and Miguel-Angel Perales, MD, discuss the trajectory and role of of CAR T-cell therapy within the treatment spectrum for LBCL.

Focus on methods for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) following allo-HSCT, such as pharmacologic immune suppression and stem cell graft manipulation techniques.

Summarize ongoing and recently completed clinical trials related to allo-HSCT and associated therapies.

Analyze risks and complications associated with allo-HSCT, including graft-versus-host disease, infections, relapse, and regimen-related toxicities.

This presentation will detail the supportive therapies and interventions provided to patients before, during, and after undergoing allo-HSCT. The speaker will also discuss management of treatment side effects and comorbidities to optimize patient outcomes.

Delve into the pre-transplant conditioning regimens such as chemotherapy and radiation used to prepare and immunosuppress patients to prevent graft rejection prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
