Blood Podcast

Exploring Brentuximab vedotin efficacy in classical Hodgkin lymphoma and CD20 loss resistance in B-cell lymphomas. Trogocytosis as a driver of RBC antigen loss discussed, emphasizing personalized treatment strategies.

In this week's episode we'll discuss CAR T cells plus ibrutinib for the treatment of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Next, we'll learn about a new SAGA for acute myeloid leukemia. Finally, we'll hear about new evidence that oxygen delivery to tissues can become diffusion-limited during perfusion with stored blood.

In this week's episode we’ll report on the findings from a study evaluating the long-term outcomes of pulmonary embolism in children and adolescents, discuss a new mechanism for hereditary angioedema caused by a methionine-379 to lysine substitution in kininogens, and learn more about predictors of unsustained minimal residual disease negativity in multiple myeloma patients.

In this week's episode we'll discuss extended follow-up from the ZUMA-5 trial of axicabtagene ciloleucel, or axi-cel. Then we'll learn about the role of platelets in binding and clearing senescent red blood cells. Finally, we'll hear about a new risk stratification strategy for lymphomas of the central nervous system, or CNS. 

In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a two-year follow-up study of lisocabtagene maraleucel in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, learn more about how reciprocal stabilization of coagulation factor XIII-A and -B subunits influences plasma FXIII concentration, and discuss the findings from a phase 2 study of inotuzumab ozogamicin for measurable residual disease in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission.

In this week’s episode, we’ll discuss the association between occupational exposure to anticancer agents in a parent and subsequent cancer in a child. Then we’ll learn about deciphering and disrupting the activation of PIEZO1 in hereditary xerocytosis. Finally, we’ll hear about the assessment of measurable residual disease, or MRD, in patients with NPM1-mutated AML, or acute myeloid leukemia, receiving venetoclax-based NON-intensive therapy.

In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a prospective trial of TCRαβ/CD19-cell depleted HLA-haploidentical transplantation to treat pediatric acute leukemia, learn more about the incidence, clinical characteristics, and survival of malignancy-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in Sweden, and discuss the bone marrow as the primary site of thrombopoiesis. 

In this week's episode we’ll explore the role of fibrinogen polymerization in thrombosis. Then, we’ll discuss preventing CD19-negative relapse after CAR T-cell therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Finally, we’ll learn how increased levels of the RNA-binding protein FUS has been identified as an effector of hematopoietic stem cell aging. 

In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a phase 2 study of CD24Fc for prevention of graft-versus-host disease, learn more about the origins of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease, and discuss the role of PF4 in platelet activation.

In this week's episode we'll uncover the clinical and pathological profile of a new disorder similar to VITT, or vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. Then, we'll discuss real-world outcomes in patients with large B-cell lymphoma treated with tafasitamab and lenalidomide. Finally we'll learn about how advances in technology help unravel the spatial biology of bone marrow.
