James J. Harding, MD, discusses the remaining unmet needs in the first-line (1L) treatment space for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) and how 1L immunotherapy (IO) combinations like nivolumab plus ipilimumab (NIVO + IPI) may help address these gaps, while highlighting unanswered questions and offering clinical pearls for managing uHCC.

Panelists discuss how health care providers can optimize quality-of-life and treatment outcomes for patients with myelofibrosis through comprehensive symptom management, shared decision-making, and careful attention to patient goals and expectations.

Panelists discuss how myelofibrosis progresses from its molecular and genetic origins through various clinical manifestations, ultimately informing the development of targeted therapeutic approaches for this bone marrow disorder.

The panelist discusses how real-world evidence for CAR T in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma shows promising efficacy but with some differences from clinical trials. Ide-cel demonstrates effectiveness in patients with prior BCMA exposure, though responses may be impacted. Compared with standard of care (SOC), both ide-cel and cilta-cel show superior outcomes in terms of response rates and progression-free survival, though long-term data are still emerging in real-world settings.

The panelist discusses how the KarMMa-3 trial data demonstrated the superior efficacy of ide-cel vs standard regimens in triple-class exposed R/R MM, with a median progression-free survival of 13.3 vs 4.4 months and an overall response rate of 71% vs 42%. The favorable safety profile and significant survival benefit support ide-cel as a preferred option for third-line and greater treatment, particularly in patients with good performance status who can tolerate bridging therapy.
