Sattva S. Neelapu, MD, spoke about which abstracts he was most excited to see presented at the upcoming American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

The time-limited combination of ibrutinib plus chemoimmunotherapy in younger fit patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia increased the rate of complete responses with bone marrow undetectable minimal residual disease, regardless of IGHV mutation, according to long-term follow-up data.

Patients with newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible multiple myeloma continue to experience robust and durable responses to treatment with daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone plus autologous stem cell transplant followed by daratumumab plus lenalidomide maintenance.

Ciltacabtagene autoleucel as a single infusion led to early, durable responses, and demonstrated positive minimal residual disease negativity for patients with multiple myeloma who had early clinical relapse.

A positive overall response rate was achieved when patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma were treated with duvelisib plus romidespin.

Patients with large B-cell lymphoma who were previously excluded from investigations experienced increased efficacy with the use of axicabtagene ciloleucel.

Patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma did not benefit in terms of event-free survival when treated with the CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel vs standard-of-care chemotherapy and transplant.

In an assessment of 2 patient cases of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma with translocations in t(11;14), selinexor plus venetoclax was safe and efficacious.

Patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia derived a better progression-free survival benefit from treatment with ibrutinib and rituximab vs fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab.

Glofitamab monotherapy or in combination with obinutuzumab led to strong response rates for patients with multiple relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.

Elderly patients treated with ibrutinib-containing regimens for chronic lymphocytic leukemia saw a progression-free survival benefit vs those who received rituximab and bendamustine.

The treatment combination of selinexor plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone at the recommended phase 2 dose produced more durable and deep responses than the lesser selinexor dose for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

The phase 1b/2 EQUATE study demonstrated high clinical responses to itolizumab for patients with acute graft vs host disease.

Data for ciltacabtagene autoleucel from CARTITUDE-1 show that use in the setting of heavily pretreated multiple myeloma bests standard-of-care treatments.

Treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel resulted in long-lasting responses in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas.

A study presented at 2021 ASH found that costs and time spent managing adverse effects varied significantly in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who were being treated with acalabrutinib, ibrutinib, and venetoclax.

Treatment with naratuximab emtansine and rituximab appeared to be well-tolerated with efficacious responses in a population of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas who were ineligible for stem cell transplant or CAR-T cell therapy.

Tolerable safety and durable remissions seen with ublituximab and umbralisib plus ibrutinib for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who had detectable minimal residual disease after previous ibrutinib therapy.

The ZUMA-7 trial demonstrated an event-free survival improvement in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel.

Improvement in major molecular response rate and depth of response coupled with a favorable safety profile were noted with asciminib vs bosutinib in patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia.

Patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma had high rates of response and overall survival with axicabtagene ciloleucel at an updated analysis of the ZUMA-5 trial.

Thomas G. Martin, MD, spoke about the updated results of the CARTITUDE-1 study examining ciltacabtagene autoleucel in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Induction and consolidation with daratumumab, ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone was able to induce minimal residual disease in a subset of patients with transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and standard-risk disease.

Preclinical data show promise for the novel non-covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor pirtobrutinib in mantle cell lymphoma with resistance to both ibrutinib and venetoclax.

Among patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, 80% of a study cohort reached MRD negativity following treatment with daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.

A quality-of-life analysis from the phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma shows favorability of the CAR T-cell therapy over standard options.

After 3 years of follow-up in the ASCEND study, progression-free survival continues to favor acalabrutinib vs investigator’s choice of therapy for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Treatment with the CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or high-grade B-cell lymphoma was favorable in both the pivotal clinical trial and the real-world setting, according to new data made available during 2021 ASH.

Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia experienced improved quality of life after being treated with continuous ibrutinib and rituximab, as well as frontline fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab.

Weekly selinexor combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone appears to be a promising option in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma.
