Future meetings may address how immunotherapy, bispecific agents, and CAR T-cell therapies can further impact the AML treatment paradigm.

Treatment with revumenib appeared to demonstrate efficacy among patients with KMT2A-rearranged acute leukemia in the phase 2 AUGMENT-101 study.

Approved for use in newly diagnosed and previously treated myelofibrosis, momelotinib may addresses key manifestations of the disease.

Advocacy groups such as Cancer Support Community and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society may help support patients with CML undergoing treatment.

Data from the REVEAL study affirm elevated white blood cell counts and higher variant allele frequency as risk factors for progression in polycythemia vera.

Phase 1 data show no dose-limiting toxicities with sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib for patients with relapsed/refractory CLL or SLL.

Data from the phase 3b JUMP trial support the use of ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis regardless of baseline or treatment-related anemia.

Progression-free survival and overall survival appear to be shorter in patients with TP53-mutant CLL vs those with TP53 wild-type disease.

The novel antibiotic lock solution Mino-Lok could help treat catheter-related infections that patients with cancer may experience.

Phase 1/2 data highlight the benefit of linvoseltamab even among prespecified high-risk patient subgroups with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Additional analyses of patient-reported outcomes and MRD status in the QuANTUM-First trial are also ongoing, says Harry P. Erba, MD, PhD.

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

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

Data from STARGLO showed that fixed-duration glofitamab-gxbm (Columvi) plus gemcitabine/oxaliplatin significantly improved survival compared with rituximab (Rituxan) plus gemcitabine/oxaliplatin in select patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Blinatumomab demonstrated “impressive activity” in the ALLTogether1 DS study, according to Sujith Samarasinghe, BSc, MBBS, MRCPCH, FRCPath, PhD.

Data from the REVEAL trial support identifying history of thromboembolic events as a potential novel risk factor in those with polycythemia vera.

Investigators must continue to explore the space for lisocabtagene maraleucel in mantle cell lymphoma, according to Manali Kamdar, MD.

More than half of the patients included in the phase 1b BP41072 study achieved a complete response to englumafusp alfa plus glofitamab.

High-grade cytokine release syndrome in the WU-CART-007 1001 trial was manageable with supportive care.

The rate of disease progression among patients with low- or intermediate-risk myelofibrosis appeared to increase over time in the MOST study.

Patients with 1 prior line of therapy had improved outcomes on acalabrutinib compared with those who had 2 or more prior lines.

Those with CML should discuss adverse effects such as nausea or fatigue with their providers to help optimize their quality of life during treatment.

TRANSCEND NHL 001 subgroup analysis found that liso-cel may be more effective for patients with mantle cell lymphoma in earlier lines of treatment.

Those with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and lower tumor burden are also more likely to have deeper responses to idecabtagene vicleucel.

Patients with CML can become an active part of their treatment plan by discussing any questions that come to mind with their providers.

Psychology intervention service may improve gratitude, anxiety, and physical function when a hematopoietic stem cell transplant is conducted vs standard of care.

Jorge E. Cortes, MD, emphasizes proper communication between patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and their providers during the treatment course.

Dietary interventions or other medications may help mitigate diarrhea in patients who undergo therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia.

Considering notable adverse effects associated with treatment may be critical when selecting therapy options for those with CML.

Data from the EPCORE NHL-1 trial support the safety and feasibility of epcoritamab for patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.
