Ruxolitinib elicited higher responses at day 28 compared with best available therapy in most cytopenia-based subgroups and had durable responses at day 56, according to a post hoc analysis of the REACH2 trial.

According to findings presented at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings, experts did not identify clear correlation between the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ruxolitinib in patients with graft-vs-host-disease.

Findings from the second interim analysis of the phase 3 MAGNITUDE study showed the positive benefit of niraparib plus abiraterone and prednisone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

In 8 patients with various hematologic malignancies who received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant with 7/8 non-permissive HLA mismatched donors, Orca-T led to a 100% survival rate.

In a single-institution phase 1 trial, patients with large B-cell lymphoma had high overall response rates with CD22-directed CAR T-cell therapy.

Findings from the phase 2 HCRN GU 16-257 trial may help advance a more personalized approach to the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

The phase 3 REACH2 trial showed that early treatment with ruxolitinib 10 mg led to higher response rates vs that seen with the best available therapy in patients with grade II-IV steroid-refractory acute graft-vs-host disease.

Looking at a retrospective analysis of data from a single-center, the use of ruxolitinib decreased non-relapse mortality and improved overall survival for patients with steroid-refractory acute graft-vs-host-disease.

Final safety and efficacy read outs of the EQUATE trial show durable clinical responses and a favorable safety profile for acute graft-vs-host disease.

Long-term outcomes did not differ among de novo late acute graft-vs-host disease and classic acute graft-vs-host disease, showing they should be treated the same way.

Yago Nieto, MD, PhD, discusses the findings from a phase 2 trial evaluating treatment with panobinostat, gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan for high-risk or relapsed/refractory myeloma.

At the final analysis of the ARAMIS study, darolutamide reduced the risk of death by 31% compared with placebo in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Though not statistically significant, data from the PROpel study of abiraterone acetate and olaparib were noted to be the longest overall survival results seen in a first-line phase 3 trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Patients with first-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer had improvements in radiographic progression-free survival irrespective of homologous recombination repair status when treated with talazoparib and enzalutamide.

Regardless of prior therapies, brexucabtagene autoleucel showed a survival benefit in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, according to subgroup analyses of the phase 3 ZUMA-3 trial.

The triplet therapy should become the new standard of care for this patient population, according to recent data.

Treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with 177Lu-PSMA-617 within 6 months of completing radium showed to be clinically feasible and well tolerated.

While JCAR021 showed durable responses, there was a high rate of neurotoxicity when given at a dose of 7 x 106 cells/kg in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Patients treated with darolutamide were less likely to develop disease metastasis or discontinue treatment 6-18 months after treatment initiation compared with enzalutamide or apalutamide.

Risk of relapse was significantly greater for those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who had low minimal residual disease of less than 10-4 vs those with undetectable MRD, according to results of a retrospective study.

The first-in-human phase 1 trial of ADI-001 as a treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma led to responses and a favorable safety profile.

Findings from the phase 2 DALY II USA trial showed that the 28-day objective response rate was 78% with freshly administered zamtocabtagene autoleucel, exceeding the prespecified efficacy threshold for interim analysis.

Data comparing 4 donor types showed matched sibling donors to be preferred in patients with myelofibrosis, according to a presentation given at the 2023 Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Meeting.
