ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition - American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition

The investigators said this increase in risk is particularly pronounced in those with more advanced disease.

Acalabrutinib could offer a high level of confidence for patients looking at a long course of disease.

Overall, approximately 41% of those receiving Axi-cel and 16% of those receiving standard of care survived for 2 years without needing additional cancer treatment or experiencing cancer progression.

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses how common chronic lymphocytic leukemia is for younger individuals

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses how the results of a longer term study differ for individuals who were younger with chronic lymphocytic leukemia as opposed to those who are older.

Myriam Mendila, MD, chief medical officer and global head of medical affairs at Novartis Oncology, discusses ongoing trials assessing efficacy and safety of asciminib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.

The standard-of-care for patients with LBCL consists of chemotherapy and additional high intensity chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation.

CAR T-cell therapy shows durable long-term survival in patients with refractory LBCL, company’s Kite subsidiary says.

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses what the results of the initial iFCR study showed and what the highlights of the longer-term follow up were for individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Lindsey Roeker, MD, assistant attending L1 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses her ASH 2021 presentation and addresses the highlights of the study and how the add-on approach affect the treatment of CLL.

The body of research around acalabrutinib is becoming quite advanced, allowing clinicians to feel confident when treating patients.

Lindsey Roeker, MD, assistant attending L1 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses her ASH 2021 presentation and addresses how the addition of umbralisib and ublituximab affect those being treated with ibrutinib.

Myriam Mendila, MD, chief medical officer and global head of medical affairs at Novartis Oncology, discusses how asciminib has impacted the treatment landscape for chronic myeloid leukemia.

New data are being presented at ASH 2021 regarding the durable efficacy of acalabrutinib in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The multicenter phase 3 study randomized patients with R/R CLL 1:1 to receive acalabrutinib 100 mg orally twice daily or investigator’s choice of idelalisib plus rituximab or bendamustine plus rituximab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Lindsey Roeker, MD, assistant attending L1 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses her ASH 2021 presentation and addresses some of the challenges and risk of ibrutinib as treatment for CLL.

The combination therapy of ibrutinib and venetoclax was superior to chlorambucil and obinutuzumab in terms of undetectable minimal residual disease responses in elderly or unfit patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

In a phase 1b trial, the combination therapy of acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and rituximab had a 100% clinical response rate and was well-tolerated in patients with treatment-naïve mantle cell lymphoma.

Acalabrutinib is a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) intended for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have received at least 1 prior therapy.

The investigators said that there were no new safety signals identified, and no reported instances of tumor lysis syndrome.

Results highlight sustained benefits of avapritinib in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis.
