Treatment with zanubrutinib conferred a PFS benefit vs bendamustine plus rituximab across most biomarker subgroups of patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma without del(17p), according to findings from the phase 3 SEQUOIA trial.

The majority of patients with relapsed CLL treated with zanubrutinib or ibrutinib in the phase 3 ALPINE study did not acquire a BTK or PLCG2 mutation at the time of disease progression, indicating that these mutations may not be the primary drivers of resistance and relapse in this population.

Responses on the non-covalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib remained high in patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia who expressed frequent baseline BTK mutations, according to a genomic analysis of the phase 1/2 BRUIN trial.

DZD8586 showcased antitumor activity and favorable safety with limited grade 3 or greater treatment-emergent adverse effects in patients with heavily pretreated B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to preliminary findings from a pooled analysis of two ongoing phase 1 trials.

OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting. Each day, we will broadcast a series of interviews with top thought leaders, to learn their thoughts and reactions to data presented across oncology during the conference.

Treatment with asciminib elicited greater efficacy and had a more tolerable safety profile compared with bosutinib for patients chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase following treatment with 2 or more TKIs.

The addition of isatuximab-irfc to carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone was well tolerated and elicited a 100% objective response rate in standard- and high-risk, transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Following promising preclincial findings, acimtamig plus allogenic natural killer cells will be examined for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma and CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Patients with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma experienced durable responses when treated with first-line axicabtagene ciloleucel, according to results from the phase 2 ZUMA-12 trial.

The use of tafasitamab-cxix, lenalidomide, rituximab, and acalabrutinib in the first-line setting induced high responses in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with responders deriving benefit from subsequent treatment with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone.

Pirtobrutinib demonstrated promising efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma who received prior therapy with a covalent BTK inhibitor.

Jeffrey Matous, MD, discusses outcomes from the phase 1b MonumenTAL-2 trial with the combination of talquetamab and pomalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Jonathon B. Cohen, MD, MS, discusses safety and efficacy outcomes with pirtobrutinib in previously treated patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma, as observed in the phase 1/2 BRUIN study.

The novel BTK degrader BGB-16673 was well tolerated; produced meaningful and rapid clinical responses; and demonstrated on-target effects in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies.

Revumenib demonstrated clinically meaningful activity, including high response and minimal residual disease negativity rates, in heavily pretreated patients with KMT2A-rearranged acute leukemia.

Induction therapy with subcutaneous daratumumab followed by autologous stem cell transplant, daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone consolidation and daratumumab/lenalidomide maintenance prolonged progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible multiple myeloma.

Treatment with the oral BTK inhibitor ibrutinib in combination with venetoclax led to a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival vs ibrutinib plus placebo in patients with relapsed/refractory MCL.

Utilization of a financial navigation program is feasible for reducing cost burden and improving quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma who are more likely to experience financial toxicity and have difficulty accessing appropriate resources and support services.

Anitocabtagene autoleucel showcased early efficacy with acceptable toxicity in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma—even in those with high-risk features.

Dose modifications of talquetamab improved on-target adverse effects while maintaining responses for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

NX-2127 showcased early efficacy in the form of responses with an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies, according to data from the ongoing phase 1 NX-2127-001 trial.

OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting. Each day, we will broadcast a series of interviews with top thought leaders, to learn their thoughts and reactions to data presented across oncology during the conference.

The high-precision cellular product Orca-Q demonstrated early signals of clinical activity as well as an acceptable safety profile for patients undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation without posttransplant cyclophosphamide.

David J. Andorsky, MD, discusses recently observed patterns of care with BTK inhibitors in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma in the community setting in the United States, and how social determinants of health may have affected these outcomes.

Raajit K. Rampal, MD, PhD, discusses findings from the phase 3 MANIFEST-2 trial investigating pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib for JAK inhibitor–naive patients with myelofibrosis.

The combination comprised of zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax elicited high response rates and 2-year progression-free survival rates that compared favorably with historical outcomes achieved with chemoimmunotherapy in high-risk patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma harboring TP53 mutations.

Patients with B-cell malignancies who were intolerant to treatment with acalabrutinib experienced clinically meaningful benefits when treated with zanubrutinib, suggesting zanubrutinib may be a viable treatment option for this population.

Pelabresib plus ruxolitinib demonstrated a 35% or greater reduction in spleen volume and trended toward reducing mean absolute total symptom score (TSS) as well as improving TSS reduction by 50% at 24 weeks in patients with JAK inhibitor–naive myelofibrosis.

Patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma experienced durable responses when treated with tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah) in the phase 2 ELARA study (NCT03568461), according to data presented at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting.

Treatment with ruxolitinib led to prolonged failure-free survival and improved disease control vs best available treatment in patients with either steroid-refractory or -dependent chronic graft-vs-host disease.
