The European Commission has approved atezolizumab for use as an adjuvant treatment following complete resection and platinum-based chemotherapy in adult patients with non–small cell lung cancer and a high risk of recurrence whose tumors do not have EGFR mutations or ALK alterations but have a PD-L1 expression of 50% or higher.

The bispecific antibody REGN5458 elicited rapid responses that were further characterized by their depth, durability, and low incidence of cytokine release syndrome in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Add-on parsaclisib and ruxolitinib elicited promising spleen volume reduction in patients with myelofibrosis who experienced suboptimal response to ruxolitinib alone, regardless of baseline platelet count, according to findings from a subgroup analysis of a phase 2 study.
Venetoclax plus obinutuzumab remains an effective fixed-duration treatment option for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and coexisting conditions, according to updated efficacy and safety data from the ongoing phase 3 CLL14 trial.
The FDA has accepted for review a new supplemental biologics license application seeking approval of pembrolizumab in the adjuvant treatment of patients with stage IB to IIIA non–small cell lung cancer after complete surgical resection.
Treatment with ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft induced low symptom burden and low phlebotomy requirement compared with best available treatment in patients with polycythemia vera, according to long-term data from the phase 3 PROUD-PV and CONTINUATION-PV trials.
Long-term follow-up from the phase 2 ELIANA trial, showed that tisagenlecleucel continued to demonstrate durable efficacy in heavily pretreated pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Bezuclastinib showcased early signs of clinical activity in that it resulted in a meaningful reduction in serum tryptase levels, as well as reductions in mast cell burden and KIT D816V variant allele frequency, in adult patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis.

Martin Dietrich, MD, PhD, of Florida Cancer Specialists, has been named the 2022 Man of the Year by the Orlando Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The combination of talquetamab and daratumumab led to early onset and durable responses that deepened over time in patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma, most of whom were anti-CD38 refractory, according to findings from the phase 1b TRIMM-2 study.
The combination of pelabresib and ruxolitinib produced responses that proved to be durable beyond week 24 in patients with myelofibrosis who experienced a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib and in those who were JAK inhibitor naïve.
The combination of epcoritamab and R-CHOP produced high overall response rates and complete metabolic response rates with a manageable toxicity profile in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
The phase 3 BRUIN CLL-313 trial is currently recruiting patients with treatment naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pirtobrutinib monotherapy vs bendamustine plus rituximab.
Zandelisib, a potent and selective oral PI3Kδ inhibitor, elicited a high overall response rate as a single agent in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, according to data from the phase 2 TIDAL trial.
The combination of obinutuzumab plus chemotherapy delivered superior long-term progression-free survival benefit for patients with treatment-naïve follicular lymphoma.
Treatment with the R-CODOX-M and R-IVAC regimens elicited similar efficacy to dose-adjusted infused DA-EPOCH-R in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk Burkitt lymphoma.
The longest duration of reduction in red blood cell transfusion dependence was reported among patients with β-thalassemia who received continued treatment with luspatercept-aamt in the updated data from the phase 3 BELIEVE trial.
The triplet combination regimen comprised of quizartinib, decitabine, and venetoclax elicited encouraging responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD–mutated acute myeloid leukemia who were previously exposed to a FLT3 inhibitor.
The first-in-class, subcutaneously administered T-cell–engaging bispecific antibody epcoritamab demonstrated deep and durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
Jeff Sharman, MD, discusses 5-year follow-up data from the phase 3 Elevate CLL TN trial in treatment-naïve patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Momelotinib demonstrated significant improvements in symptoms, spleen size, and anemia measures compared with danazol in patients with symptomatic and anemic myelofibrosis who previously received treatment with a JAK inhibitor.
Decitabine demonstrated a comparable overall survival and rate of hematopoietic stem cell transplant in addition to a lower incidence of adverse effects vs induction chemotherapy with daunorubicin and cytarabine in older patients at least 60 years of age with acute myeloid leukemia.
ARI0002H, a BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy, achieved promising response rates in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, according to findings from a phase 1/2 trial.
Time-limited targeted therapy with venetoclax plus obinutuzumab with or without ibrutinib demonstrated superior progression-free survival outcomes compared with standard chemoimmunotherapy in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The addition of quizartinib to standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy and then continued as a single agent doubled median overall survival vs standard chemotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD–positive acute myeloid leukemia.
Patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic leukemia assigned to zanubrutinib reported better health-related quality of life than those administered ibrutinib.
Single-agent acalabrutinib continued to showcase favorable efficacy, with a notable benefit in progression-free survival benefit over standard-of-care regimens and a consistent toxicity profile, in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Epcoritamab in combination with gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin displayed encouraging responses with no new safety signals among patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant, according to initial results from the phase 1b/2 EPCORE NHL-2 trial.
