In this analysis, the hedgehog pathway inhibitor sonidegib plus azacitidine combination therapy showed encouraging antileukemia activity in terms of high rate of disease stabilization, particularly in the relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia patient population. Read More ›

When used in first-cycle therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), rates of resource utilization and total costs of care were significantly lower for ibrutinib than for chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy, with ibrutinib-treated patients having lower emergency department and inpatient costs per month and less frequent office and outpatient visits than patients treated with chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy.

The initial results of a phase 1 study suggest that combination therapy with ivosidenib or enasidenib plus standard induction chemotherapy is well-tolerated and effective in newly diagnosed patients with IDH-mutated (mIDH), relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Read More ›

In patients with relapsed/refractory, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), use of prophylactic tocilizumab may reduce the incidence of severe cytokine release syndrome but not neurologic events in patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Read More ›

In this subanalysis of the AG221-C-001 phase 1 study, enasidenib monotherapy was found to be well-tolerated, and yielded hematologic responses in previously untreated older patients with IDH2-mutated (mIDH2) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not fit to receive standard cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Single-agent ibrutinib is associated with longer progression-free survival and a generally more favorable safety profile than chemoimmunotherapy in patients with treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Read More ›

This analysis showed that ivosidenib-treated patients with IDH1-mutated (mIDH1), relapsed/refractory, and untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) whose best response is a complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery achieve mIDH1 clearance ≤0.04%. Read More ›

In the RESONATE-2 study, treatment of older patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia resulted in significantly improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs), disease burden, quality of life, medical resource utilization, and quality-adjusted survival time compared with those treated with chlorambucil.

The results of a post-hoc analysis of the RATIFY trial suggest that midostaurin decreases the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) in patients with FLT3 mutation–positive, newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with no negative impact on survival. Read More ›

An updated safety and efficacy analysis of a phase 1b study demonstrated a promising benefit–risk profile with the combination of the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax with either decitabine or azacitidine in elderly, treatment-naïve patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for intensive standard induction therapy.
