Dr Beveridge explains potential barriers a physician can encounter when implementing RWE into MM therapy.

The panel elaborate on how they’ve incorporated RWE into their decision-making processes for their patients with MM.

Across 3 disease states, dupilumab has been shown to create rapid, clinically meaningful responses that were sustained, which could improve adherence and the patient-provider relationship.

In this study, the authors developed a method for use in primary care to identify a group of patients with complex care needs using Aggregated Diagnosis Groups.

While teprotumumab, a new FDA-approved therapy for thyroid eye disease (TED), has its adverse events, the other options to treat TED can have severe consequences, said Shoaib Ugradar, MD, UCLA Stein Eye Center Santa Monica.

With further research, allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy may help overcome the cost and production time barriers currently associated with autologous CAR T-cell therapy.

Circulating B cell–activating factor was shown to be a potential biomarker in identifying blood eosinophil counts and risk of postoperative nasal polyp recurrence among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

Therapy resistance remains a challenge with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a new study proposes targeting ligand-dependent corepressor (LCOR) in addition to known immune targets to improve outcomes.

Genetically predicted insomnia is a risk factor for allergic disease and asthma, according to a recent Mendelian randomization study.
