Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, of the Virginia Cancer Specialists, discusses how the FDA approval of adagrasib for KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer can provide benefit for this patient population.

Real-world data associate axicabtagene ciloleucel with temporarily worse quality of life in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma, or follicular lymphoma, which improves within 1-year post-infusion.

Patients with myelofibrosis and anemia who were previously treated with a JAK inhibitor experienced durable responses up to 48 weeks with momelotinib.

Treatment with induction and maintenance ibrutinib combined with chemoimmunotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant resulted in statistically significantly improved outcomes in a younger population with mantle cell lymphoma.

Those with chronic myeloid leukemia, Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and those with CML whose tumors have a T315I mutation, were found to have improved efficacy when olverembatinib was given.

Lisocabtagene maraleucel was found to have superior efficacy in the second-line over standard of care therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Updated findings from the phase 2 CARTITUDE-2 trial highlighted the promising efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma following early relapse.

Patients with with primary central nervous system lymphoma experienced prolonged progression-free survival and a reduction in risk of death following treatment with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant compared with non-myeloablative chemoimmunotherapy.

Patients with B-cell malignancies intolerant to acalabrutinib appeared to derive clinically meaningful benefit from zanubrutinib.

Birtamimab treatment led to longer survival in patients with Mayo Stage IV amyloid light chain amyloidosis at 9 month follow-up.

A 3-drug regimen with post-transplant cyclophosphamide may represent a new prophylactic option for well-matched adults with graft-versus-host disease who underwent reduced-intensity transplant.

Blinatumomab plus consolidation chemotherapy produced a 58% reduction in the risk of death vs consolidation chemotherapy alone in patients with MRD-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Results from the phase 3 ALPINE trial found improved progression-free survival and overall response rate when Zanubrutinib was given to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphatic leukemia vs ibrutinib.

Patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer can now receive adagrasib therapy following the treatment’s recent accelerated approval by the FDA.

Mosunetuzumab produced durable responses with a tolerable toxicity profile in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, according to an updated analysis of the phase 2 GO29781 study.

The final analysis from the phase 2 DREAMM-2 study found continued efficacy in patients who had relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The average time to next treatment among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia occurred faster in those treated with acalabrutinib vs ibrutinib.

A triple-class exposed population of patients diagnosed with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma experienced progression-free survival benefit following treatment with belantamab mafodotin with pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Findings from the final analysis phase 3 SINTRA-REV trial indicated that lenalidomide lowered the risk of transfusion dependency when administered at a low dose in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.

The phase 2 ELARA trial indicated continued durable responses when patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma were treated with tisagenlecleucel.

A quadruplet regimen with daratumumab as its base was found to improve health related quality of life in patients with transplant-eligible, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Efficacy and safety findings were positive in the phase 1/2 CC-92480-MM-001 trial when mezigdomide was added to dexamethasone in patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma.

Ziolvertamab and Ibrutinib combination therapy demonstrated an overall response rate of 89.3% and 91.2% in patients with mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, respectively.

Magrolimab in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax was well tolerated and yielded promising responses among patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia regardless of TP53 mutation status.

Rapcabtagene autoleucel, a novel CAR T-cell therapy, was promisingly effective and tolerable in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, according to findings from a phase 1 dose-escalation study.

Among patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, crovalimab yielded stable rates of hemolysis control and transfusion avoidance in the phase 3 COMMODORE trial.

Treatment with ibermodide on its own or with anti-CD20 antibodies was well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging responses among patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

Ziftomenib monotherapy showed pronounced antileukemic activity and a tolerable toxicity profile in pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

The BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib demonstrated high response rates in pretreated patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, according to recent data.

Patients with previously untreated Waldenström Macroglobulinemia—a rare form of blood cancer—derived fast and durable responses after receiving treatment with ibrutinib plus venetoclax, according to findings from a prospective phase 2 trial presented at 2022 ASH Annual Meeting.
