Large trial and real‑world data show fixed‑duration venetoclax‑obinutuzumab delivers high response and durable PFS in fit and unfit CLL patients; maintaining adequate venetoclax dose intensity appears important for MRD and long‑term outcome
UK registry follow-up of 104 congenital TTP patients shows regular plasma prophylaxis lowers acute episodes and end‑organ events, but residual symptoms and plasma-related issues drive many patients to recombinant ADAMTS13.
In older adults (≥60 years) with non‑adverse‑risk AML enrolled in NCRI AML18, daunorubicin/cytarabine plus fractionated gemtuzumab (DAGO2) produced higher early MRD‑negative CR rates and superior 3‑year EFS and OS versus CPX‑351, with parti
In NCRI AML18 (n=439, median age 68), DAGO2 produced higher early CR/MRD‑negative rates and superior 3‑year EFS and OS versus CPX‑351 in older adults without adverse‑risk cytogenetics; survival differences persisted across key subgroups inc
Preclinical work shows that combining the BCL‑2 inhibitor venetoclax with the FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib produces deep, reproducible anti‑leukemia activity in FLT3‑mutant, BCL11B‑activated lineage‑ambiguous leukemias. BH3 profiling and sin
In 164 adolescents and young adults with ALL transplanted in second remission, 3‑year overall survival was 53% and progression‑free survival 46%. MRD positivity and HCT‑Comorbidity Index >3 predicted worse outcomes; female‑to‑male donor
RNA cancer vaccines are emerging as powerful tools against hard-to-treat cancers, with breakthroughs in melanoma, pancreatic, and brain cancers showing promise for widespread clinical adoption by 2029.
Ziftomenib is FDA-approved for adults with relapsed/refractory NPM1‑mutated AML based on single‑arm KOMET‑001 data showing a 22% remission rate and manageable toxicity including differentiation syndrome; randomized trials are planned to def
DESTINY‑Breast04 shows trastuzumab deruxtecan (T‑DXd) significantly improves progression‑free and overall survival vs physician’s choice chemotherapy in HER2‑low metastatic breast cancer, with manageable safety and preserved patient‑reporte
In a phase 1 trial, co‑infused autologous CD19- and BCMA-targeting CAR‑T cells produced 80% LLDAS/DORIS remission at 12 weeks in 15 refractory SLE patients, with manageable toxicity and evidence of eradication of autoreactive B‑cell and pla
CIBMTR’s 2013–2023 registry update shows a 2023 rebound in allogeneic HCT—driven by older adults—widespread adoption of post‑transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) across donor types, increasing mismatched donor use, and rapid expansion o
In CMV‑seronegative adult AML recipients receiving unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation with PTCy, donor CMV seropositivity was associated with worse overall survival—primarily through a trend toward higher relapse—supporting
A single‑center retrospective study of 988 unrelated donor HCTs with PTCy found no significant differences in survival or relapse for isolated HLA‑DQB1 mismatch, 7/8 mismatches, or older donor age; 7/8 mismatch increased severe acute GVHD a
A CIBMTR registry cohort (n=10,025) found donor age predicted worse overall survival with conventional calcineurin inhibitor prophylaxis but not with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy); attenuation was driven by reduced nonrelapse morta
The FANCOLEN‑1 trial shows that infusion of autologous FANCA‑corrected CD34+ cells without cytotoxic conditioning produced sustained engraftment and clinical improvement in a majority of treated patients with Fanconi anaemia‑A, with an acce
Israeli scientists have developed a novel small molecule drug that targets RNA structures maintaining cancer cell immortality, providing a promising new approach to treating hard-to-cure cancers with unparalleled precision.
A Cochrane update (2025) of 69 randomized trials found restrictive RBC transfusion thresholds (typically Hb 7–8 g/dL) cut transfusion exposure ~42% without increasing 30‑day mortality overall, but liberal strategies improved long‑term neuro
Posttransplant gilteritinib greatly benefits FLT3-ITD AML patients with NPM1 comutations, while myeloablative conditioning offers limited advantages over reduced-intensity conditioning in eradicating measurable residual disease.
The DREAMM-7 phase 3 trial shows that belantamab mafodotin combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone produces early, sustained, and statistically significant overall survival and deep, durable responses versus daratumumab-based therapy in
Favism, a hereditary enzyme deficiency causing red blood cell breakdown upon exposure to certain triggers like fava beans, is preventable with proper diagnosis and management. This article explores its clinical features, diagnosis, treatmen
