• Tapering biologics: Anti-drug antibodies are not common

    Most healthcare professionals perform dose reductions in psoriasis treatments. A main concern for professionals who do not taper biologics is the formation of anti-drug antibodies.

  • HLA-positive patients treated with ustekinumab show a better drug survival

    A real-world analysis from the BADBIR registry showed that drug survival of ustekinumab, but not from other biologics due to effectiveness, is associated with the psoriasis risk allele HLA-C*06:02.

  • Psoriasis is associated with a higher cancer risk

    A large registry study showed that psoriasis is linked with a higher cancer risk overall and in specific sites, particularly in severe disease. Psoriasis was associated with several cancers beyond those currently regarded as connected.

  • Ixekizumab: confirmed efficacy in psoriatic patients with diabetes

    In a post-hoc investigation of diabetic participants in phase 3 trials, ixekizumab led to high proportions of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index amelioration.

  • DLQI scores: less reliable during the pandemic?

    During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, results of the Dermatology Life Quality Index may have been altered by an increased number of “not-relevant” responses. DLQI-scores could be underestimated.

  • Spesolizumab treatment downregulates IL-36 gene expression in GPP

    Gene expression patterns differed between lesional and non-lesional skin of patients with generalised pustular psoriasis with an upregulation.

  • Fitusiran meets primary endpoint in ATLAS-A/B trial

    Fitusiran prophylactic therapy reduced the ABR in severe haemophilia A or B patients without inhibitors. Quality of life increase was associated with fitusiran therapy.

  • Promising frontline triplet regimen for TP53-mutated AML

    The 5-azacitidine, venetoclax, and magrolimab combo had good response rates in newly diagnosed older, unfit, or TP53-mutated AML patients.

  • rFVIIIFc establishes rapid tolerization in haemophilia A with inhibitors

    rFVIIIFc therapy realised immune tolerance in approximately 2 out of 3 patients with severe haemophilia A and high-titre inhibitors who underwent first ITI therapy.

  • POLARIX: Novel regimen superior to R-CHOP in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

    Results from the POLARIX trial suggest that Pola-R-CHP may be the preferred first-line therapy for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

  • Therapy de-escalation safe in low-risk MRD patients with ALL

    Therapy de-escalation in patients with ALL and a low-risk MRD profile was safe, 10-year follow-up results of the UKALL 2003 trial show.

  • AMLSG 16-10: long-term benefits of midostaurin for FLT3-ITD-mutated AML

    The final trial results showed that younger and older patients with FLT3-ITD-mutated AML benefitted from adding midostaurin to intensive chemotherapy.

  • iStopMM: smouldering MM highly prevalent in general population

    The large, population-based study showed prevalence in 40 years+ patients. Approximately 1 out of 3 smouldering MM patients may progress towards MM.

  • MajesTEC-1: teclistamab efficacious in heavily pre-treated MM

    Teclistamab was safe and efficacious in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients. Phase 1/2 trial showed durable and deepening responses.

  • Reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease in CHIP carriers

    CHIP was related to decreased risk of AD and its neuropathological changes. Mutated haematopoietic stem cells were detected in the brains of CHIP carriers.

  • Novel triplet regimen may benefit heavily pre-treated FLT3-mutated AML patients

    A quizartinib, venetoclax and decitabine combo was highly active in patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia.

  • JAK2V617F allele frequency predicts venous events in polycythaemia vera

    A JAK2V617F variant with an allele frequency of over 50% is associated with a higher risk of venous thrombosis in patients with polycythaemia vera (PV).

  • Encouraging results of novel triplet combination for AML

    Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine plus venetoclax alternated with 5-azacytidine plus venetoclax showed encouraging efficacy in newly diagnosed AML patients.

  • ATLAS-INH: impressive results of fitusiran for haemophilia

    Treatment with fitusiran for prophylaxis resulted in a lower rate of bleeding events and improved health quality of life in haemophilia A or B patients with inhibitors.

  • Persistent disparities in ALL health outcomes

    Significant disparities in health outcomes were observed across race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
