Jacob D. Soumerai, MD, of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses minimum residual disease-driven time limited therapy with zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax in previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer doubled their median progression-free survival following a switch to fulvestrant plus palbociclib.

Patients with breast cancer treated with pyrotinib plus capecitabine had a 31% lower risk of death than those treated with lapatinib and capecitabine

However, active disease alone for hospitalized patients was not associated with greater odds of dying from COVID-19, nor was receiving ongoing cancer treatment.

Uterine cancers that developed in patients with breast cancer treated with tamoxifen had fewer phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway mutations and may have been driven by tamoxifen-induced PI3K pathway activation.

Emicizumab-kxwh demonstrated a favorable safety profile and effective bleed control in people with mild or moderate hemophilia A without factor VIII inhibitors.

Study results show that clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential is associated with a lower likelihood of developing AD.

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses the results of a longer-term follow up for iFCR therapy for individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia .

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.

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses how common chronic lymphocytic leukemia is for younger individuals

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses how the results of a longer term study differ for individuals who were younger with chronic lymphocytic leukemia as opposed to those who are older.

Myriam Mendila, MD, chief medical officer and global head of medical affairs at Novartis Oncology, discusses ongoing trials assessing efficacy and safety of asciminib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.

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

CAR T-cell therapy shows durable long-term survival in patients with refractory LBCL, company’s Kite subsidiary says.

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses what the results of the initial iFCR study showed and what the highlights of the longer-term follow up were for individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Matthew Davids, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses how iFCR therapy increases the chance of functional cure for younger individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Lindsey Roeker, MD at assistant attending L1, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses her ASH 2021 presentation and addresses how the study design could affect future studies.

Myriam Mendila, MD, chief medical officer and global head of medical affairs at Novartis Oncology, discusses how the ASCEMBL study data may impact treatment strategies and approaches for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Following the success of ibrutinib, second-generation BTK inhibitors have shown even better outcomes with fewer toxicities.

Lindsey Roeker, MD at assistant attending L1, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses her ASH 2021 presentation and addresses the study design and the sample demographics.

Lindsey Roeker, MD, assistant attending L1 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses her ASH 2021 presentation and addresses the highlights of the study and how the add-on approach affect the treatment of CLL.
