Marie Bleakley, MD, PhD, on GVHD: Reducing Rates and Increasing Survival
2016 ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition
Marie Bleakley, MD, PhD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, discusses data on using naive T-cell depletion of peripheral blood stem cells, which led to very low rates of chronic graft-vs-host-disease and high survival (Abstract 668).
Brenda M. Sandmaier, MD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Sagar Lonial, MD, of Emory University, discuss study findings on sirolimus combined with mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine to improve prevention of acute graft-vs-host-disease after unrelated hematopoietic cell transplantation (Abstract 506).
Smita Bhatia, MD, MPH, and Jessica Wu, BA, both of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, discuss long-term morbidity and mortality experienced by chronic myeloid leukemia patients after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Abstract 823).
Jonathon Cohen, MD, and Sagar Lonial, MD, both of Emory University, discuss study findings on R-CHOP vs DA-EPOCH-R and molecular analysis of untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Abstract 469).
Julie Vose, MD, MBA, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Mhairi Copland, MB, ChB, PhD, of the Paul O’Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre at the University of Glasgow, discuss decreasing the dose of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in CML patients with stable molecular responses (Abstract 938).
Julie Vose, MD, MBA, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Anjali Advani, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic, discuss study findings on vadastuximab talirine as monotherapy and, in another trial, vadastuximab talirine plus hypomethylating agents in older patients with AML (Abstracts 590, 591).
