A study showed that a treatment regimen called BOVen was safe and effective in producing responses in older patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

The combination of englumafusp alfa and glofitamab showed a BOR of 67.0% and CR rate of 57.0% in second-line settings. In third-line settings, the BOR was 65.7% and the CR rate was 52.8%.

ATO/ATRA plus idarubicin showed superior 2-year EFS (88% vs 70%) and 5-year EFS (87% vs 55%) compared to ATRA/chemotherapy. The trial indicated lower hematologic toxicity with ATO/ATRA, including reduced rates of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.

Acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib showed longer median TTD and TTNT compared to ibrutinib in CLL/SLL patients. Cardiovascular adverse effects were less frequent with acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib than with ibrutinib.

A cohort study of the KarMMa-2 trial discovered durable responses in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma treated with ide-cel.

A study found that glofitamab plus gemcitabine and oxaliplatin significantly improved survival in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who were not eligible for stem cell transplant.

Blinatumomab integration led to high complete response and minimal residual disease-negativity rates, especially in patients over 40 and Philadelphia chromosome-positive cases.

Zanubrutinib treatment resulted in £599,000 cost savings and 3.7 QALY savings compared with acalabrutinib for 1000 hypothetical patients.

Disease duration, thrombotic event history, elevated WBC count, HCT levels, and VAF are key predictors of polycythemia vera progression.

An increased likelihood of response was also observed in patients who received no more than 3 lines of therapy prior to liso-cel in the TRANSCEND CLL 004 trial.

New or worsening anemia did not appear to reduce the clinical benefit of ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis patients, and the median overall survival was similar between patients with and without new or worsening anemia.

The phase 2 PONALFIL trial evaluating a ponatinib regimen shows promise for long-term survival in adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Zanubrutinib plus venetoclax achieved a 100% overall response rate in patients with treatment-naive CLL/SLL harboring 17p deletions and/or TP53 mutations.

MOST study shows high rates of disease progression in low/intermediate-risk myelofibrosis over 4 years, with the rate increasing over time. This offers valuable insight for a patient group with limited prior data.

The phase 3 SIERRA study revealed that only Iomab-B recipients achieved the primary end point of durable complete remission.

Rami Komrokji, MD, discusses the different systems of classifying myelodysplastic syndrome.

Mark J. Levis, MD, PhD, discusses the takeaways from the phase 3 BMT CTN 1506/MORPHO trial which evaluated maintenance gilteritinib after allogeneic stem cell transplant in patients with FLT3-ITD–positive acute myeloid leukemia.

Bhagirathbhai R. Dholaria, MBBS, discusses updated findings from the TRIMM-2 trial of talquetamab and daratumumab for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The use of polatuzumab vedotin in place of vincristine in R-mini-CHOP may lead to an increase in gastrointestinal adverse events in frail patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Yael Cohen, MD, discusses the main safety findings from the phase 1/2 RedirecTT-1 trial, which is evaluating the combination of teclistamab-cqyv and talquetamab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

In patients with FLT3-ITD–mutant acute myeloid leukemia and detectable minimal residual disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplant, treatment with gilteritinib elicited a 48% reduction vs patients without detectable MRD.

OMS906, a MASP-3 inhibitor, demonstrated clinical efficacy in a proof-of-concept study for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, according to an interim analysis presented at the 2023 EHA Congress.

A watch-and-wait approach should remain the standard of care, even in the era of targeted therapies, in patients with early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia with inactive disease, according to data from the 2023 EHA Congress.

The KMT2A inhibitor appeared safe and led to clinical activity in the treatment of patients with NPM1-mutated, relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, according to the phase 1 KOMET-001 trial.

After positive results from the phase 1/2 KRT-232-109 study, the phase 3 BOREAS-2 study will further evaluate the combination of navtemadlin and ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis.

Teclistamab plus talquetamab is the first-ever reported dual-specific bispecific combination in hematologic malignancies, says María-Victoria Mateos, MD, PhD.

Post-hoc analysis results showed a reduction in spleen volume of 35% with ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis.

With BMS-986158 plus ruxolitinib or fedratinib treatment in patients with myelofibrosis, reduction in splenic volume was reported among all patients in part 1A and became more robust at week 24.

Findings from the phase 3 PhALLCON trial show that ponatinib plus reduced-intensity chemotherapy could be a new standard of care for patients with Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
