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).
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).
Laurie H. Sehn, MD, MPH, of the British Columbia Cancer Agency, discusses agents in the pipeline for follicular lymphoma, including drugs targeting the immune microenvironment, novel monoclonal antibodies, and emerging immunotherapeutics.
Andrew D. Zelenetz, MD, of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses novel treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, touching specifically on the Gilead 115 trial.
Catherine Thieblemont, MD, PhD, of Hôpital Saint-Louis and INSERM, and Julie Vose, MD, MBA, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, discuss phase III trial findings on lenalidomide maintenance in elderly patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP in the first-line setting (Abstract 471).
