First-line zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax in mantle cell lymphoma; hyperdiploidy in multiple myeloma; and pegcrisantaspase plus venetoclax in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia

Jan 30 2025 20 mins  
In this week's episode we’ll learn more about a phase 2 trial of first-line zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax in TP53-mutated mantle cell lymphoma; early development of hyperdiploidy in multiple myeloma; and a phase 1 trial of the asparaginase pegcrisantaspase plus venetoclax in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.Featured Articles:Zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and

Targeting C3 in autoimmune hemolytic anemias; venetoclax testing to predict AML response; an improved understanding of the structure of FXIII complex

Jan 23 2025 19 mins  
In this week's episode we'll learn about C3-targeted therapy in autoimmune hemolytic anemias. Based on results of an open-label, phase 2 study, pegcetacoplan was well-tolerated, with encouraging efficacy, particularly in patients with cold agglutinin disease. After that: Venetoclax sensitivity testing to predict AML response. In a significant step toward precision medicine, researc

Jan 23 2025 23 mins  
In this Review Series episode on Globin Disorders introduced by Drs. Thomas Coates and Irene Roberts, we’ll hear from Dr. Douglas Higgs and Dr. Mitchell Weiss as they address advances in our understanding of globin gene biology.Click here to view the complete Review Series featured in Volume 144 Issue 8 of Blood.

Brentuximab vedotin, nivolumab, and chemotherapy in classical Hodgkin lymphoma; type 1 interferon signaling in sickle cell disease; and type 1 human leukocyte antigen gene mutations in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Jan 16 2025 21 mins  
In this week's episode we’ll learn more about an experimental regimen for classical Hodgkin lymphoma that combines brentuximab vedotin, nivolumab, and chemotherapy; a possible role for type 1 interferon signaling in developing autoantibodies to red blood cells in sickle cell disease; and how genomic alterations affecting class I human leukocyte antigen molecules may affect patien

Iron overload aggravates MDS pathophysiology; long-term outcomes after TPO-RA treatment in ITP; new insights into APL treatment outcomes by age and risk

Jan 09 2025 17 mins  
In this week's episode we'll learn about the role of iron in myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS. After that: long-term treatment outcomes in immune thrombocytopenia from the STOPAGO study. Finally, new insights into APL treatment outcomes and prognostic factors from the large-scale Harmony APL project which used ATRA-Arsenic combination therapy.Featured Articles:Genetic iron overloa

Dexamethasone dosing in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, a new experimental model of X-linked sideroblastic anemia, and ciltacabtagene autoleucel in real-world myeloma treatment

Jan 02 2025 20 mins  
In this week's episode, we’ll learn about the prevalence and impact of dexamethasone dose reductions during triple or quadruple therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, a conditional knockout mouse model for testing gene therapy in X-linked sideroblastic anemia, and real-world efficacy and safety of ciltacabtagene autoleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myel

Comparing BTK inhibitors in relapsed/refractory CLL; unraveling the genetic background of the AnWj-negative blood type; rapid adaptation of CLL cells to venetoclax

Dec 26 2024 19 mins  
In this week's episode, we'll be comparing BTK inhibitors in relapsed/refractory CLL. Then, we'll hear how researchers in the UK unraveled the genetic background of the AnWj blood group. Finally we'll learn about the role of BCL-2 and BAFF in CLL cell survival following venetoclax therapy. Featured Articles:Deletions in the MAL gene result in loss of Mal protein, defining the rare

Dec 19 2024 20 mins  
In this week's episode, we’ll learn more about mechanisms of primary resistance to BCMA-targeted bispecific T-cell engagers in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, the effects of emapalumab therapy on outcomes in patients with pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who receive stem cell transplants, and a cell death process that may help account for increased thromboemboli

Unravelling follicular lymphoma subtypes; stroke rate trends in sickle cell disease; procoagulant platelet activation promotes venous thrombosis

Dec 12 2024 18 mins  
In this week's episode, unravelling follicular lymphoma subtypes. Researchers dissect the biological diversity of follicular lymphoma and introduce a new prognostic mode, that could change the way this B-cell neoplasm is subtyped and treated. Then, concerning stroke rate trends in sickle cell disease. A new report shows increasing rates of cerebrovascular events among people with S
