The tentative approval cannot take effect because a competing product was granted market exclusivity.

Early data suggest chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy can achieve meaningful long-term results.

A survey of patients with myasthenia gravis in 5 European countries suggests patients wait on average about a year after symptom onset before they are given an accurate diagnosis.

Improvements in multiplex immunofluorescence and spatial analysis have enabled a better understanding of the ways classical Hodgkin lymphoma evades the immune system.

The authors said their findings also suggest AXL inhibition might be an important therapeutic strategy.

Though circulating high mobility group box-1 levels appear to be a biomarker for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adults with congenital heart disease, the same is not true in pediatric patients.

A mathematical model using pharmacodynamic parameters, including duration of hyperlymphocytosis, may help clinicians better predict patient responses to ibrutinib administered for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

A case report suggests vigilance is required even when cancers like acute lymphoblastic leukemia appear to go into remission without explanation.

Experts argue for new mechanisms to fund research in oft-ignored rare diseases.

Better reporting is needed to create better guidelines for tracking infection risk in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma, investigators concluded.

The analysis represents an effort to use bioinformatics to find potential new therapeutic targets for myasthenia gravis (MG).

Adding blinatumomab to consolidation chemotherapy for B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) in patients without measurable residual disease (MRD) led to improvements in overall and relapse-free survival.

Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in the treatment arm were more likely to achieve transfusion independence, but the difference vs placebo was not statistically significant.

It is rare for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to present with ocular involvement, but a mutational test could help clinicians identify patients more quickly.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are rare in Japan, but a new report affirms the effectiveness of venetoclax (Venclexta) and rituximab (Rituxan) (VenR) in this population.
