Mashup Score: 0Rates of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination and Correlation With Survival in Multiple Myeloma Patients - 12 day(s) ago
MicroabstractWe analyzed vaccination rates and associated outcomes of patients with multiple myelom in the INSIGHT MM study. Influenza vaccination in the prior 2 years and pneumococcal vaccination in the prior 5 years impacted overall survival versus no vaccination. Additionally, deaths due to infections were lower among vaccinated versus non-vaccinated patients. Vaccination status should be recorded in prospective clinical trials as it may affect survival.

Micro-AbstractThe complete molecular response (CMR) and overall survival (OS) in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with front-line chemotherapy plus ponatinib versus earlier generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors were compared in a meta-analysis and meta-regression. The patients treated with front-line ponatinib versus earlier generation treatments were more likely to achieve a CMR and had greater rates of 3-year OS.

Micro-AbstractIn patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma, low bone mineral density (BMD) is common at diagnosis and worsens with therapy. Our randomized phase III trial demonstrates that 2 doses of zoledronic acid (ZA) and supplementation with calcium and vitamin D effectively prevent further bone loss.

Mashup Score: 28DA-R-EPOCH may mitigate the adverse prognostic implication of the diagnosis-to-treatment interval (DTI) in large B-cell lymphomas - 2 month(s) ago
Short diagnosis-to-treatment interval (DTI) is associated with high-risk disease and poor survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). There is a paucity of literature on DTI and survival in DLBCL treated with first-line DA-R-EPOCH. We hypothesized that rapid initiation of DA-R-EPOCH in aggressive and high-risk DLBCL mitigates the adverse prognostic implication of short DTI.

There has been a rapid expansion of novel therapeutics for hematologic malignancies, including monoclonal antibodies, small molecules, and cellular therapies, which confer different treatment-related toxicities and symptomatic adverse events (AEs) than traditional cytotoxic chemotherapies. Given that patients with blood cancers are living longer with these newer treatments, with some therapies requiring indefinite or time-intensive administration, consideration of patient-reported tolerability and effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are increasingly relevant.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) remains a challenging hematological malignancy despite significant advancements made during the past 2 decades. Outcomes have improved by incorporating immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies into treatment algorithms that include high dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, many patients may eventually relapse despite these innovations. Newer therapies targeting B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) offer promise for patients with relapsed or refractory disease.

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) represent a group of diseases that result in bone marrow failure often at early ages leading to peripheral cytopenias, predisposition to hematologic and solid malignancies, and other disease-specific complications.1 The diagnosis of IBMFS can often overlap with acquired aplastic anemia (AA), which is also characterized by bone marrow hypocellularity, peripheral cytopenias, and cytopenia-related complications. While AA is typically treated with urgent related-donor allogeneic SCT (alloSCT) or immunosuppressive therapy such as cyclosporine and corticosteroids, IBMFS respond poorly to standard immunosuppressive therapy and are associated with increased transplant-related toxicity with standard myeloablative conditioning.
