• 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).

  • Comparable effectiveness of CPX-351 and HMA plus venetoclax in older AML patients

    CPX-351 therapy did not result in different overall survival (OS) outcomes or response rates than venetoclax plus HMA therapy in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) between 60 and 75 years of age.

  • Promising results: Tacrolimus plus dexamethasone in immune thrombocytopenia

    The combination regimen of low-dose tacrolimus plus high-dose dexamethasone provides benefits over high-dose dexamethasone monotherapy in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), promising first-line treatment for patients with ITP.

  • Talquetamab plus daratumumab for multiple myeloma

    The dual therapy demonstrated durable and deep responses in heavily pre-treated patients with refractory MM. The combination regimen was tolerable and did not show overlapping toxicity. It is therefore a promising option for treating patients with MM.
