Blinatumomab plus chemo improves survival in paediatric B-ALL

Chemotherapy combined with blinatumomab (blin) delivers significant improvements in disease-free survival (DFS) in children with newly diagnosed National Cancer Institute standard risk (SR) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL), according to the results of the AALL1731 study presented at ASH 2024.

Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide, rituximab boosts PFS in follicular lymphoma

The addition of tafasitamab (tafa) to lenalidomide and rituximab (len+R) significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL), as shown in a phase III study presented at ASH 2024. The safety profile of this combination is manageable and consistent with expected toxicities.

Muscle loss persists in leukaemia patients on nutrition therapy

Muscle or fat-free mass (FFM) decreases in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing intensive chemotherapy despite medical nutrition therapy (MNT), reports a recent study. Fat mass, on the other hand, remains unchanged.
