Obecabtagene 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.

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.

The 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.

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.

The use of Orca-T with myeloablative chemotherapy conditioning had comparable safety and efficacy in younger and older patients with hematologic malignancies, according to data from a phase 1b study.

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-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.

The use of the BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy D8 Fab CAR and the dual-targeting AUTO8 CAR T-cell therapy is safe and feasible in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Golidocitinib displayed antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in patients with refractory/relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma, according to data from the pivotal phase 2 JACKPOT8 study.

The 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 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.

Michael R. Cook, MD, discusses real-world data associated with the utilization of bridging therapy prior to treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Andre Goy, MD, discusses outcomes with brexucabtagene autoleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma enrolled in the phase 2 ZUMA-2 trial and the expanded access ZUMA-18 study.

Idecabtagene 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.

Although 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.

Brexucabtagene autoleucel is safe and effective in real-world patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma, regardless of the presence of high-risk features.

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.

The 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.

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.

Treatment with an all-oral regimen of arsenic trioxide, all-trans retinoic acid, and ascorbic acid led to both 3-year overall survival and relapse-free survival rates of 97% in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Chan Cheah, MBBS, discusses the investigation of BGB-11417 with or without zanubrutinib in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Tisagenlecleucel elicited durable efficacy and a favorable long-term safety profile in the real-world setting of patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Olutasidenib monotherapy induced high complete response rates with a manageable toxicity profile in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia harboring IDH1 mutations.

Heather Jim, PhD, discusses a real-world analysis, examining the quality of life outcomes seen with axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

BGB-11417, when given alone or in combination with zanubrutinib, elicited encouraging responses and minimal residual disease negativity rates in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, according to preliminary data from a phase 1 trial.

Ran Reshef, MD, discusses findings from the phase 3 BMT CTN 1703 trial examining graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis in reduced intensity conditioning.

Consolidation therapy with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation improved progression-free survival vs non-myeloablative chemoimmunotherapy in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Among patients with newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma, treatment with BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting FasTCAR-T Cells resulted in an overall response rate of 100%, with all treated patients evaluable for minimal residual disease showing minimal residual disease negativity to 12 months.
