John Mascarenhas, MD, discusses the rationale, mechanism, and design of the phase 1 INCA33989-101 and -102 trials investigating a CAL-R–targeted antibody for patients with essential thrombocythemia.

On-body delivery systems for subcutaneous isatuximab could enable patient self-administration, according to Xavier Leleu, MD, PhD, improving convenience and transforming treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Compared with tezepelumab, solrikitug demonstrated unique epitope binding and superior potency across several assays.
