The study demonstrates a need for novel tolerable and efficacious therapeutic agents to address the burden of illness in patients with multiple myeloma, according to the investigators.

The study examined safety, immune response (immunogenicity), and adverse effects of 7 vaccines when used as a third booster jab.

Pharmacists have an important role in the optimization of AML therapies.

Most adverse effects are very tolerable and easily managed, including headaches, diarrhea, and some neutropenias or infections

Data support daratumumab as part of a standard of care regimen in the frontline setting for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Results from a study show that elderly individuals who are black or who have an immediate family member with a current or past blood cancer have higher rates of these conditions.

The investigators said this increase in risk is particularly pronounced in those with more advanced disease.

Overall, approximately 41% of those receiving Axi-cel and 16% of those receiving standard of care survived for 2 years without needing additional cancer treatment or experiencing cancer progression.

The standard-of-care for patients with LBCL consists of chemotherapy and additional high intensity chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation.

Advancements in genomic and mutational analysis show that up to 60% of adenocarcinomas and up to 50% to 80% of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) have a known oncogenic driver mutation.

According to the investigators, in vitro functional studies demonstrate potent antitumor activity of ATA2271 following repeat antigen stimulation.

The combination of tislelizumab and chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival.
