Mutational dynamics in patients with del(5q) MDS treated with lenalidomide prior to transfusion dependency-Molecular results from the Sintrarev clinical trial. (PubMed, Hemasphere)
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.

Clinical and immunological effects of adding cyclophosphamide to pomalidomide-dexamethasone in relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma: The randomized MUKseven trial. (PubMed, Br J Haematol)
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.

Epcoritamab monotherapy or epcoritamab with lenalidomide as first-line therapy for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (EPCORE DLBCL-3): primary analysis of an open-label, multicentre, randomised, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Haematol)
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.

Forimtamig: a potent GPRC5D-targeted bispecific antibody in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Ann Med Surg (Lond))
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.

CD19/CD22 bivalent CAR T cells in children, adolescents and young adults with B-ALL: final phase 1 trial results. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Following a protocol amendment to evaluate the efficacy of siltuximab as a first-line treatment of CRS, one patient received siltuximab with full resolution of CRS after two doses without needing additional anti-cytokine-directed therapies...This extended experience demonstrates that CD19.22.BBζ CAR T-cell therapy is safe and clinically active, particularly as a bridge to HSCT. Non-response was confined to patients with non-CNS EMD, highlighting the persistent challenge of effectively targeting EMD and informing the design of future CAR constructs.Trial registration numberNCT03448393.

TARC levels in lenalidomide-induced rash during multiple myeloma treatment (PubMed, Rinsho Ketsueki)
In contrast, elevations in general inflammatory markers (white blood cell count, eosinophils, and C-reactive protein) or in lactate dehydrogenase, an indicator of atopic dermatitis, were observed in only a minority of events. These findings suggest that TARC may be a useful biomarker for identifying lenalidomide-induced rash and may aid in optimizing clinical management while maintaining treatment continuity.

A bibliometric analysis of the research landscape of lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
This bibliometric analysis highlights the rapidly evolving field of lenalidomide resistance in MM. Future efforts should focus on developing next-generation agents against resistance, designing rational combination therapies targeting key pathways like signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/ nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), and establishing evidence-based treatment consensus to improve outcomes.
