Polls Reveal Picks for Top Hematologic Oncology Abstracts at ASCO 2026
Key Takeaways
- Multiple myeloma led meeting-interest polling (43%), suggesting heightened focus on sequencing in relapsed/refractory disease amid expanding immunotherapy and novel backbone options.
- Teclistamab vs PVd/Kd in anti-CD38– and lenalidomide-exposed myeloma may support earlier-line BCMA bispecific adoption, with infection risk and high-risk subgroup efficacy pivotal.
Poll results reflected some of the most anticipated presentations and fields of interest in hematologic oncology at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting.
As the
Which hematologic malignancy subtype are you most excited to learn more about during the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting?
- Multiple Myeloma
- DLBCL
- AML
- Myelofibrosis
Among respondents (n = 77), multiple myeloma emerged as the leading area of interest, receiving 43% of the vote. DLBCL followed at 26%, while AML a garnered 18%, and myelofibrosis accounted for 13%.
Which hematologic oncology abstract are you most looking forward to seeing during the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting?
- LBA7000 frontMIND trial
- LBA6500 SENTRY trial
- LBA7506 SUCCESSOR-2 trial
- LBA7507 MajesTEC-9 trial
Interest in individual abstracts was evenly distributed among respondents (n = 12), with each study receiving 25% of the vote. The split reflects the broad range of potentially practice-changing data expected across lymphoma, myelofibrosis, and multiple myeloma presentations during the meeting.
Take a closer look at some of the most anticipated hematologic oncology abstracts scheduled to be presented during the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting.
LBA7507: MajesTEC-9: A phase 3 randomized study of teclistamab monotherapy vs investigator’s choice of pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone or carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
Presentation time: May 29, 2026, 4:57 pm CT
The phase 3 MajesTEC-9 trial (NCT05572515) is expected to provide key insight into whether teclistamab-cqyv (Tecvayli) can move earlier in the treatment sequence for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The study compared teclistamab monotherapy with standard PVd or Kd regimens in patients previously exposed to anti-CD38 therapy and lenalidomide. Investigators have already reported encouraging progression-free survival and overall survival findings, increasing anticipation around the upcoming full dataset. Clinicians are especially interested in understanding infection risk, safety considerations in community practice, and efficacy in high-risk disease subgroups.
LBA7506: Mezigdomide, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone vs carfilzomib and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: Results from the phase 3 SUCCESSOR-2 trial
Presentation time: May 29, 2026, 4:45 pm CT
The phase 3 SUCCESSOR-2 trial (NCT05552976) will evaluate whether the cereblon E3 ligase modulator mezigdomide can help overcome resistance to prior immunomodulatory therapies such as lenalidomide and pomalidomide. Investigators are hoping the study clarifies the future role of CELMoDs in the post-lenalidomide setting and whether the combination can address a growing unmet need for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
LBA6500: Selinexor plus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor–naïve myelofibrosis: Phase 3 SENTRY trial
Presentation time: June 2, 2026, 9:45 am CT
The phase 3 SENTRY study (NCT04562389) evaluating selinexor (Xpovio) plus ruxolitinib (Jakafi) has generated significant discussion following a provocative topline press release. Although the trial reportedly demonstrated statistically significant improvements in spleen volume reduction, symptom improvement thresholds were not met. Investigators and clinicians alike are particularly eager to learn more about an unexpected overall survival signal observed in the study and whether the combination could ultimately alter frontline management strategies in myelofibrosis.
LBA7000: frontMIND: Phase 3 study of tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP for patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL
Presentation time: May 30, 2026, 3:00 pm CT
The phase 3 frontMIND study (NCT04824092) is anticipated to add to the rapidly evolving frontline DLBCL treatment landscape. The trial evaluated tafasitamab-cxix (Monjuvi) plus lenalidomide (Revlimid) in combination with rituximab (Rituxan) plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) for newly diagnosed disease. Experts have highlighted the study as a potential milestone in the ongoing expansion of frontline large B-cell lymphoma treatment options beyond standard R-CHOP-based therapy.
