MB-105 is a first-in-class CD5-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for the treatment of relapsed or refractory CD5-positive T-cell lymphoma.

Acalabrutinib with bendamustine and rituximab shows efficacy in patients with untreated mantel cell lymphoma by increasing progression-free survival in the ECHO trial.

Alison Moskowitz, MD, discusses the clinical considerations, dosing strategies, and the critical role of pharmacists in managing toxicities and tailoring treatment plans for dual-targeted therapy with ruxolitinib and duvelisib.

A ketogenic diet and its key metabolite, β-hydroxybutyrate, enhance the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy by improving metabolic fitness, cytokine production, and cellular expansion, offering a promising, safe strategy for optimizing cancer immunotherapy.

AI-powered drug response prediction technology is revolutionizing veterinary and human oncology by enabling personalized treatment plans through live cell testing, machine learning models, and data-driven precision medicine approaches.

Lisocabtagene maraleucel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy significantly enhances treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, offering high response rates and durable remissions.

There were 2 main types of switches, including switching to rituximab subcutaneous and switching among different intravenous rituximab treatments.

Outpatient models are emerging as feasible alternatives to traditional inpatient care, offering potential benefits such as reduced hospitalization, improved social well-being, and cost savings.

The risk of developing lymphoma remained nearly the same between patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis.

Comprising most cases of this rare form of lymphoma, it is essential that pharmacists and treatment providers are aware of the health-related burdens patients with these subtypes consistently face.

Zanubrutinib demonstrated sustained responses in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL).

Poorer prognosis was linked to factors such as reduced hemoglobin levels and advanced stage at diagnosis.

These results indicate the combination’s long-term effectiveness in a population with limited treatment options.

Improvements in survival outcomes were seen among those at high risk for DLBCL who received 6x R-CHOP21 + 2R.
