FDA approves rusfertide, a first-in-class hepcidin-mimetic for polycythemia vera, cutting phlebotomies and improving hematocrit control and QOL.

The findings reinforce monitoring and managing thrombotic risk across the PV population rather than focusing on traditionally defined high-risk patients.

The study authors indicated that future investigations could further facilitate clinical decision-making regarding these regimens’ effectiveness.

Lab abnormalities can emerge between visits, and pharmacists may be able to catch uncontrolled hematocrit, adherence issues, or access barriers early.

Previous research shows that in newly diagnosed AML, CR and composite remission rates were higher for shortened regimens of venetoclax.

Cell therapy and targeted agents are transforming blood cancer outcomes, but infrastructure, funding, and workforce gaps are limiting who can access them.

The increasingly complex CLL treatment landscape will require continued real-world study to guide sequencing decisions.

This meta-analysis encompassed 18 studies published through December 31, 2025.

Prior to receiving CAR T-cell therapy, patients undergo lymphodepletion chemotherapy, explained Kerry Rogers, MD, The James.

All from July, these 5 novel therapeutics each claimed a “first” in their category.

The authors suggest their data could reflect phlebotomy’s role as a reactive rather than sustained control measure.

Higher CCI scores, prior infection, and prior prophylactic anti-infective treatment were associated with greater risk of subsequent infection in both cancers.

The goal of transplant is to give rise to new immune cells capable of hunting down and destroying resistant leukemic cells, says Karilyn Larkin, MD.

Experts discussed innovations in oncology care, treatment access, pharmacy workflows, and patient outcomes.

The new MonumenTAL-6 combination data appear to exceed MajesTEC-9 numbers.

New data suggest acalabrutinib appears to reduce the target that macrophages are supposed to recognize in patients with CLL.

Each visit incorporated instruments that included symptom burden, fatigue, anxiety and depression, nutritional risk, and patient activation.
