A new targeted therapy showed promising response rates in pediatric and adult patients with relapsed/refractory KMT2A rearranged acute leukemia.

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

Treatment with the oral BTK inhibitor ibrutinib in combination with venetoclax led to a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival and complete response rate.

Induction therapy with subcutaneous daratumumab followed by autologous stem cell transplant and D-VRd consolidation and daratumumab/lenalidomide maintenance significantly prolonged progression-free survival.

Treatment with the novel agent NX-2127 was safe and efficacious in patients with B-cell malignancies, according to recent phase I data.

Study findings support the use of a financial navigation program, in hopes to aid patients with multiple myeloma affected by financial toxicity.

Dose reductions of the GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific antibody talquetamab effectively improved on-target adverse events while sustaining high response rates for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Habte Yimer, MD, discusses findings from follow-up data of the phase 3 ALPINE study that were presented at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting.

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.

Treatment with zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax, also known as BOVen, showed promising safety and efficacy in treatment-naive patients with TP53-mutant mantle cell lymphoma.

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.

Results from an ongoing phase 2 study show the viability for the use of zanubrutinib after patients with previously treated B-cell malignancies are deemed intolerant to the next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor acalabrutinib.

Gabriel Hortabagyi, MD, provides an update on data from the phase 3 NATALEE trial of ribociclib and endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer.

Treatment with single-agent pirtobrutinib showed encouraging efficacy with a tolerable safety profile in a cohort of heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Investigators report no new safety signals in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma following treatment with tisagenlecleucel infusion.

Brentuximab vedotin plus nivolumab, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine appears to be well tolerated in patients with advanced stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma, according to data from the phase 2 SGN35-027 trial.

Data from the phase 3 APPLY-PNH trial show comprehensive control of intravascular and extravascular hemolysis with iptacopan in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and persistent anemia.

The 3-year final analysis of efficacy and safety of the REACH3 trial showed that patients with steroid refractory or dependent chronic graft-versus-host disease benefited more with ruxolitinib compared with best available treatment.

An ongoing phase 1a/1b trial is set to evaluate NX-1607-101, an oral small-molecule inhibitor of casitas B-lineage lymphoma B designed to enhance innate and adaptive immune responses and demonstrate antitumor activity and long-term survival in patients with persistent lymphoma including those with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Sabarish Ram Ayyappan, MD, discusses findings from the final analysis of the phase 2 ELM-2 trial of odronextamab in a cohort of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
