The FDA has approved belantamab mafodotin for third-line or later multiple myeloma based on DREAMM-7 trial data.

A novel combination therapy enhances the effectiveness of proteasome inhibitors against acute myeloid leukemia (AML), improving survival rates in preclinical models.

Venetoclax plus bortezomib and dexamethasone improved PFS in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, especially in patients with BCL2high disease.

The LINKER-SMM1 trial shows promising results for linvoseltamab in treating high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma with a favorable safety profile, notes Paula Rodríguez-Otero, MD, PhD.

Kelley L. Julian, PharmD, BCOP, discusses optimizing myeloma care, addressing barriers in access to intravenous immunoglobulin and innovative therapies at Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Nanopore sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may be a particularly good fit in under-resourced areas due to its lower cost and smaller laboratory footprint.

Rilzabrutinib (Wayrilz; Sanofi) may improve immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) outcomes, enable early intervention, and enhance patient quality of life.

Patients with immunoglobulin M-type monoclonal gammopathy did not experience a survival benefit from targeted therapies, a study found.

The MajesTEC-5 trial shows teclistamab's impressive efficacy in achieving MRD-negative status in newly diagnosed transplant-eligible patients, explains Marc S. Raab, MD, PhD.

Findings suggest bispecific CD3xCD20 therapy may offer an option for patients with Richter syndrome who are ineligible for transplant or CAR T-cell Therapy.

Patients with essential thrombocythemia live with a risk of developing serious bleeding complications, a new study explains.

A case series suggests using minimal residual disease to trigger anti-CD20 therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can add years to some patients’ lives.

Patients with hematologic malignancies face ongoing survivorship challenges as providers struggle to coordinate care, according to Brian Koffman, MDCM, DCFP, FCFP, DABFP, MSEd.

Teclistamab shows promising real-world effectiveness and safety in older adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), matching clinical trial outcomes.

Four autophagy-related variants in CDKN2A and BCL2 may increase susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

As oncology continues to move more toward precision medicine, tools like EVOFLUx may offer a more personalized roadmap from diagnosis to treatment.

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission for over 3 years experience survival rates comparable with a matched cohort from the general population.

Positive topline data from the phase 3 BRUIN CLL-313 showed pirtobrutinib's efficacy in the frontline setting.

The LINKER-SMM1 trial evaluates linvoseltamab's safety and efficacy in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma, aiming to delay disease progression.

Drug interactions with ibrutinib may not shorten survival when managed carefully, though the significant increase in infection-related hospitalizations tied to CYP3A inhibitors signals an urgent need for closer monitoring, dose adjustment, and proactive infection prevention strategies.

Outpatient treatment with axi-cel shows promising response rates for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma, enhancing accessibility in community oncology settings.

Underdosing, poor spleen response, and transfusion dependence drive inferior survival outcomes in intermediate-1 myelofibrosis.

Among patients with hematologic malignancies who were diagnosed with COVID-19, about one-quarter experienced critical illness, and most of those patients died.
