Second-line treatment of lisocabtagene maraleucel demonstrated improved quality of life in patients with large B-cell lymphoma.

Data from a retrospective head-to-head analysis of pacritinib vs ruxolitinib showed that the former was more favorable in terms of symptom response for patients with myelofibrosis and thrombocytopenia.

Patients with cytopenic myelofibrosis produced a tolerable safety profile when receiving treatment with pacritinib.

Patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma continue to experience robust and durable benefit from treatment with ciltacabtagene autoleucel.

Sattva S. Neelapu, MD, spoke about which abstracts he was most excited to see presented at the upcoming American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

Ciltacabtagene autoleucel as a single infusion led to early, durable responses, and demonstrated positive minimal residual disease negativity for patients with multiple myeloma who had early clinical relapse.

Patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma did not benefit in terms of event-free survival when treated with the CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel vs standard-of-care chemotherapy and transplant.

The phase 1b/2 EQUATE study demonstrated high clinical responses to itolizumab for patients with acute graft vs host disease.

Data for ciltacabtagene autoleucel from CARTITUDE-1 show that use in the setting of heavily pretreated multiple myeloma bests standard-of-care treatments.

Treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel resulted in long-lasting responses in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas.

Thomas G. Martin, MD, spoke about the updated results of the CARTITUDE-1 study examining ciltacabtagene autoleucel in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Treatment with the CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or high-grade B-cell lymphoma was favorable in both the pivotal clinical trial and the real-world setting, according to new data made available during 2021 ASH.

A population of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia appeared to have comparable real-world benefit from tisagenlecleucel compared with findings from the phase 2 ELIANA trial.

Depression and anxiety notably impact how patients with hematologic malignancies view clinical studies.

Investigators noted that patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome who were diagnosed with COVID-19 were more likely to experience COVID-19 mortality vs non-cancer patients.

A strong antibody response was seen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome who received the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who had been given 2 or more prior lines of therapy and received tisagenlecleucel saw positive efficacy responses.

Orca-T improved efficacy outcomes over standard of care therapy for patients with serious hematologic malignancies.

Second-line treatment with liscocabtagene maraleucel improved survival compared with the standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Luciano Costa, MD, PhD, spoke about which abstracts he wants to see most at ASH 2021.

Thomas G. Martin, MD, spoke about the previously reported results of the CARTITUDE-1 study in patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma ahead of the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting.

Thomas G. Martin, MD, spoke about the abstracts regarding B-cell maturation antigen–targeted treatments he’s excited to see presented at ASH 2021.

Jennifer A. Woyach, MD, spoke about which abstracts she’s most excited to see presented at the 2021 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

Expert details the potential for a clinical trial using minimal residual disease to guide therapy for patients with DLBCL.

Merryman explains the value of evaluating separate transplant-related questions for patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Thought leader detailed the findings from an oral presentation investigating patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The phase 1b/2 trial evaluated a single, low-dose infusion of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; JNJ-68284528) in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Based on findings from the trial of ciltacabtagene autoleucel, further investigation of the therapy in other populations of patients with multiple myeloma is already underway.
