Prevention Strategies for Vector-Borne Diseases

Phase 2 MILESTONE results suggest that postinduction minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity can identify a small subset of transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who may defer autologous stem cell transplantation.

A phase 3 trial shows etentamig boosts response and delays progression in triple-class exposed RRMM.

Fixed-duration KRd slowed progression in high-risk smoldering myeloma, but high rates of severe toxicity temper enthusiasm.

A review of 69 studies finds influenza vaccines continue to reduce hospitalization and death, with no new safety concerns.

IRAKLIA shows isatuximab OBI boosts comfort and satisfaction vs IV in multiple myeloma, enabling fast at-home dosing with strong completion.

Gut microbiome disruption from anti-anaerobic antibiotics weakens CAR T cell therapy, raising relapse and CRS/ICANS risk; stewardship and microbiome repair may improve cancer outcomes.

The all-oral combination is supported by phase 3 LITESPARK-011 data showing improved progression-free survival compared with cabozantinib.

The FDA approved lirafugratinib for adults with previously treated, advanced cholangiocarcinoma harboring an FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement after the REFOCUS trial showed a 46% ORR.
