Anna Azvolinsky, PhD, is a freelance medical and science journalist based in New York City. Many phase III cancer clinical trials exclude individuals with absolute neutrophil counts (ANCs) within the reference range for individuals with the Duffy null–associated ANC (DANC) phenotype. Many individuals with DANC are of African and Middle Eastern ancestry, and current clinical trials exclude some of these participants because of these predefined criteria. Individuals with DANC may also be receiving modified

Lara C. Pullen, PhD, is a freelance medical writer in Chicago, Illinois. Historically, hematologists have feared Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) because of its poor prognosis. However, new research suggests that dual BCR::ABL1 kinase inhibition with dasatinib and asciminib is a safe treatment for patients with de novo Ph+ ALL. Marlise Luskin, MD, MSCE, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, and colleagues published their findings in Blood. “This is a rare

Anna Azvolinsky is a science and health journalist based in New York City. Time-limited treatment with ibrutinib plus venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) guided by measurable residual disease (MRD) significantly improves quality of life (QoL) for these patients, including mitigating fatigue. 1 The patients saw clinically relevant improvements after one year at the end of their combination therapy course, including a 9-point improvement in global

Mashup Score: 0Eliminating Modifiable Risk Factors Lowers Bleeding Risk in Patients With Cancer, VTE, Study Finds | ASH Clinical News | American Society of Hematology - 2 month(s) ago
Thomas R. Collins is a medical journalist based in West Palm Beach, Florida. Anemia and hypertension were the two modifiable risk factors most closely related to anticoagulant-associated bleeding risk in patients with cancer, according to findings from a large database analysis that will be presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. The study suggests that eliminating these and other risk factors that are within the patient’s control could substantially

Mashup Score: 3Bispecific Antibody Elicits High Responses Among Patients With Heavily Pretreated CLL | ASH Clinical News | American Society of Hematology - 2 month(s) ago
Anna Azvolinsky is a science and health journalist based in New York City. Patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody, had a high overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate, as well as a high rate of undetectable measurable residual disease (uMRD). The therapy also had an acceptable side effect profile. These results, from the phase 1b/2 EPCORE CLL-1 trial, will be presented at the 66th

Thomas R. Collins is a medical journalist based in West Palm Beach, Florida. In a long-term look at the clinical features and course of disease for children with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), patients were found to have considerable morbidity and mortality rates. Researchers will discuss the findings at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.
