Mashup Score: 1Investigation into aberrant B cell repertoire in myeloma on humoral immunity and patient survival. - 8 month(s) ago
8016 Background: B cells are critical to inhibiting tumor progression, as they generate tumor-reactive antibodies; promote anti-tumor killing capacity of NK cells and phagocytosis of macrophages/DCs; and enrich priming of T cells against the tumor. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell-derived malignancy, and its survival is partly driven by a deficiency in the immune response. Yet, the abnormalities of the B-cell-mediated humoral responses in MM are ill defined. Methods: We investigated B cell composition in bone marrow (BM) from patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM, N = 170), relapsed refractory MM (RRMM, N = 140) and healthy donors (HD, N = 21) by multi-color flow cytometry. Results: We observed that B1b cells was significantly reduced by 45% (p = 0.004) in NDMM patients compared to HD. B1b cells are important in generating long-lasting protective antibodies, particularly against vaccines, in a T cell independent fashion. Similarly, B2 cells, which can produce all antibody types, were

Mashup Score: 0How can we best sequence novel treatments in urothelial cancer? - 8 month(s) ago
Daniel Petrylak, MD, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, comments on the changing field of urothelial cancer, including novel therapies such as enfortumab vedotin and erdafitinib, which have been assessed in the EV-103 trial (NCT03288545) and THOR (NCT03390504) trials, as well as sacituzumab govitecan. Treatment can depend on the FGFR status of patients, where erdafitinib has shown benefit in patients with FGFR alterations. Adverse events can additionally influence which drug a patient will receive. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.

Mashup Score: 1Combining lenvatinib & pembrolizumab for non-clear cell RCC: KEYNOTE-B61 study rationale - 8 month(s) ago
Chung-Han Lee, MD, PhD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, highlights the rationale behind combining lenvatinib and pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment for non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCC) in the Phase II KEYNOTE-B61 (NCT04704219) study. While most clinical trials have focused on clear cell RCC, a significant portion of patients have non-clear cell histologies, which historically have not responded well to existing systemic therapies. The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab has shown impressive efficacy in clear cell RCC, prompting interest in exploring its potential benefits for non-clear cell histologies as well. The study aims to determine whether this combination therapy can be effective in improving outcomes for patients with non-clear cell RCC, offering a new treatment option for this subgroup of kidney cancer patients. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL. These
