Evolving NCCN Guidelines for MPNs

Solly Chedid, MD, discussed luspatercept and its role in boosting quality of life for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.

Frontline tyrosine kinase inhibitors are well-established for chronic myelogenous leukemia, but some patients experience inadequate response or adverse events, highlighting the need for novel therapies.

Positive topline data from a phase 2 trial show HT-6184, an allosteric NEK7/NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, improves hematologic response in lower-risk MDS.

A regimen using the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings did not improve outcomes in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

The phase 3 EMBER-3 trial showed imlunestrant improved PFS over SOC endocrine therapy in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with ESR1 mutations, though not significantly in the overall population.

A phase 2 trial showed ctDNA detection in HR-positive early breast cancer was linked to larger tumors, higher residual cancer burden, and increased recurrence after neoadjuvant endocrine therapy.
