In patients with Richter transformation, epcoritamab monotherapy showed clinically meaningful antitumour activity, although the investigator-assessed overall response rate was below the alternative hypothesis of 50%, with a safety profile consistent with previous studies. These findings support further investigation of epcoritamab as a potential treatment option for patients with Richter transformation.
New therapeutic options to reduce the red blood cell (RBC) transfusion burden have emerged since 2020 and include luspatercept and imetelstat. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and lenalidomide also address anemia and are generally recommended to start at the time of transfusion dependency, although emerging data suggest that an earlier start of these interventions might offer clinical benefits...Targeted therapy directed to the presence of an IDH1 mutation is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the rare IDH1 mutated MDS (<10% of the time) and consideration to use an IDH2 inhibitor for IDH2 mutated MDS (<5% of the time) is reasonable. Interestingly, IDH mutations seem to appear with increased frequency in older patients and in patients with underlying autoimmune/rheumatological disorders.1.
After induction therapy with the lenalidomide-dexamethasone (RD) regimen, ASCT is performed and partial remission is achieved. The pathogenesis of secondary MDS in POEMS syndrome is discussed from three aspects: cytotoxic therapy, genetic predisposition, and SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case underscores the importance of prolonged surveillance for secondary myeloid neoplasms (sMN) in POEMS patients and suggests that early genomic profiling and individualized treatment may improve outcomes.

Together, we established a proof of concept for PROTAC in the DC vaccine design by linking E3 ligase to a protein model antigen, which can be readily replaced with other identified pathogenic antigens to elicit robust cytotoxic immune responses against tumors or viral diseases, and thus has serious implications in the clinics.
