Broader perspectives on the optimal selection and sequencing of systemic therapy in patients diagnosed with myelofibrosis.

Dr Sekeres discusses the FDA approval of quizartinib plus chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed, FLT3-ITD–positive AML, key efficacy and safety data from the QuANTUM-First trial, and how this quizartinib regimen addresses an unmet need for older patients in this population.

TNB-486 demonstrated sustained antitumor activity in all but 1 patient with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, regardless of CD20 status, as well as number and type of prior therapy.

Individualized myelofibrosis treatment begins with correctly identifying a patient’s disease subtype and considering their symptoms, from which accurate decisions regarding the use of JAK inhibitors vs radiation vs hypomethylating agents can lead to spleen and symptom burden reductions.

Prioty Islam, MD, MSc, discusses how the FDA approval of the noncovalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib has transformed the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma, and where this agent fits in to the current treatment armamentarium.

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma is a rare and very aggressive T-cell neoplasm with an extremely poor prognosis. It is also the only human cancer caused by a retrovirus—human T-cell leukemia virus.

The addition of quizartinib to standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy with idarubicin plus cytarabine followed by maintenance therapy led to an improvement in event-free survival compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with FLT3-ITD wild-type acute myeloid leukemia.

Jennifer Effie Amengual, MD, discusses unmet needs in FL that SYMPHONY-1 aims to address; the potential benefits of tazemetostat plus lenalidomide and rituximab in patients who are refractory to rituximab or who relapse within 24 months of their initial therapy; and where this regimen may fit into the relapsed/refractory FL treatment paradigm alongside investigative CAR T-cell therapies.

Closing their discussion, the panel shares some parting comments on the recent updates in the MDS treatment landscape and hopes for the future.
