The addition of uproleselan to chemotherapy did not meet the primary OS end point of a phase 3 trial evaluating patients with relapsed/refractory AML.

Outpatient lymphodepletion prior to brexu-cel was safe and generated comparable 60-day non-relapse mortality vs inpatient administration in B-ALL and MCL.

Patients with treatment naive DLBCL experienced high response rates when treated with zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP and a RP2D dose of the agent was selected.

Liso-cel demonstrated safety and efficacy outcomes that were comparable to those in the pivotal TRANSFORM and PILOT trials in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
