In multivariate analysis, receiving an alkylator based induction, radiation therapy, achieving a complete response after auto-SCT, use of cyclophosphamide for stem cell mobilization and lenalidomide maintenance were independent predictors of developing SHM. Patients with MM who developed a SHM had an inferior overall survival (OS). Given the median OS for MM continues to improve, monitoring for SHM and risk mitigation strategies is crucial.
However, various factors can lead to failure in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization in some patients, including age, type of malignancy, chemotherapy regimens (such as fludarabine, Melphalan, and Lenalidomide), radiotherapy, bone marrow cellularity, and comorbidities. It is crucial to recognize that diabetes can significantly affect the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Factors such as poor stem cell mobilization, prolonged engraftment times, and increased need for blood product transfusions underscore the importance of considering diabetes in HSCT candidates.
This study provides a new strategy for enhancing the activity of DEXs derived from patients with MM, with the potential to develop DEXs as an antitumor vaccine for MM.
Although the exact etiology of iMCD-TAFRO is unknown, interleukin (IL)-6 has been identified as a critical pathological driver, and the IL-6 antagonist siltuximab is recommended as first-line treatment...We also present and discuss a case report of a patient with iMCD-TAFRO and acute kidney failure. Our aim is to draw attention to the spectrum of kidney involvement in iMCD-TAFRO, as well as raise awareness to the importance of early recognition and appropriate treatment of this rare condition.
Treatment with low-dose Len in transfusion-independent del(5q) MDS reduced the mutational burden of most genes and did not promote the expansion of preexisting clones or AML progression, especially TP53-mutated clones. Early administration of Len in del(5q) MDS patients without TD may be an effective therapeutic approach with a manageable safety profile regarding clonal evolution.
Pretreatment CD4+ T-cell levels were identified as a prognostic PFS marker. In summary, our results demonstrate significant effects of cycloaddition to Pd on response and T-cell composition.

Fixed-duration epcoritamab monotherapy showed promising complete response rates and a manageable safety profile in older adults with newly diagnosed DLBCL and comorbidities, with slight differences between stages 1 and 2. Continued investigation of epcoritamab as a first-line chemotherapy-free treatment option is warranted.
When combined with standard agents such as daratumumab, pomalidomide, or cereblon E3 ligase modulatory drugs, forimtamig has shown improved tumor clearance and reduced relapse rates. Currently undergoing phase 1 trials, forimtamig is being evaluated both as monotherapy and in combination regimens. Its high potency, favorable safety, and durable immune engagement make it a promising candidate in the evolving treatment landscape of multiple myeloma.
