Immunoglobulin high throughput sequencing (Ig-HTS) minimal residual disease (MRD) analysis is an effective surveillance tool in patients with mantle cell lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma accounts for 4-6% of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with historically poor outcomes. With the advent of intensive first-line, targeted, and cellular therapies, outcomes have improved, and initial remission can be 8-10 years or even longer. As patients experience longer remissions, this raises the question of the optimal surveillance modality. Peripheral blood minimal residual disease (MRD) analysis offers a potential alternative to surveillance imaging that sensitive, less costly, and eliminates the risk of radiation exposure.

Characterization and Outcomes of Spanish Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Included in the LocoMMotion Study
Despite treatment advances that have improved patient survival, including immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), proteasome inhibitors (PIs), and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable.1,2 Most patients ultimately relapse or become refractory to standard drug classes.3,4 Triple-class exposed patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) have particularly aggressive disease and a poor prognosis.5 This may, in part, be due to the increasing genetic complexity and more drug-resistant mutations that occur with each new line of therapy (LOT), particularly for patients with high-risk cytogenetics....

SOHO State of the Art Updates and Next Questions: Oral Therapy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
With the recent development of several new effective agents, treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is evolving. Molecularly targeted agents developed against leukemogenic pathways are demonstrating significant promise both as monotherapy and in combination with standard regimens. Although oral chemotherapeutic agents have long been used in the treatment of various malignancies, their use in patients with AML has been hitherto limited. The availability of most newly approved targeted agents in oral formulation has provided us with the potential for developing all oral regimens in AML. (Source: Clinical Lym...

Predictors and impact of timing of disease progression following primary therapy in multiple myeloma
We examined the outcomes of 1557 MM patients stratified into short (5 years) PFS. Short PFS occurred in 758 patients (48.7%), medium in 561 patients (36.2%), and long in 238 patients (15.3%). Median post-progression PFS was 9.2 months (95% CI 8.1-11.0) in the short PFS and 33.1 months (95% CI 29.0-42.1; p (Source: Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia)

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry in the Evaluation of Plasma Cell Proliferative Disorders: Current Paradigms for Clinical Practice
The multi-parametric flow cytometry (MFC) is technically the most valuable tool in characterization and quantification of clonal plasma cells (PCs). The MFC has a well-defined role in monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) in MM, in estimating risks of progression in MGUS and SMM and predicting treatment outcomes. The ability of MFC to measure low levels of circulating clonal PCs has enabled non-invasive monitoring of treatment responses and risk assessment in PCPDs. The study of changes in the tumor microenvironment makes it an attractive platform to understand impact of newtherapies, especially, the immunotherapy. ...

SOHO State of the Art Update and Next Questions: Novel Therapies for Polycythemia Vera
In the recent years, landmark advancements in the treatment of polycythemia vera (PV) have been achieved. We witnessed the regulatory approval of ropeginterferon and the advanced clinical development of other novel agents that may affect the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease. Agents with the potential of disease modification may soon overtake preceding treatment options that were based on the patient's age and history of thrombosis. Recent studies using ropeginterferon in low-risk PV patients earlier in the disease course challenge the current treatment paradigm and shift the focus on modifying the co...

Multi-parametric flow cytometry in the evaluation of plasma cell proliferative disorders- Current paradigms for clinical practice
Plasma cell proliferative disorders (PCPDs) comprise a spectrum of disorders arising from clonal plasma cells (PCs) with variable disease phenotype ranging from benign premalignant state of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to indolent state of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM) to overt malignant phenotype of Multiple Myeloma (MM), some of which may progress to a clinically aggressive leukemic state of Plasma Cell leukemia (PCL). In MGUS, SMM and MM, the primary disease is intramedullary whereas PCL has a hematogenous spread. (Source: Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia)
