The phase 1a/1b NX-1607-101 trial will evaluate NX-1607, a CBL-B inhibitor, in patients with advanced malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Treatment with single-agent pirtobrutinib showed encouraging efficacy with a tolerable safety profile in a cohort of heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Oral iptacopan (Fabhalta) monotherapy induced durable responses and hemolysis control in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and persistent anemia who had previously received anti-C5 treatment.

Axatilimab induced rapid and durable responses with an acceptable toxicity profile at all doses analyzed with highest efficacy observed at the 0.3-mg/kg dose in patients with recurrent or refractory chronic graft-vs-host disease.

Obecabtagene autoleucel elicited durable responses in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia independent of leukemic burden at lymphodepletion, although better outcomes were observed in those with lower burden.

The use of Orca-T with myeloablative chemotherapy conditioning had comparable safety and efficacy in younger and older patients with hematologic malignancies, according to data from a phase 1b study.

Golidocitinib displayed antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in patients with refractory/relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma, according to data from the pivotal phase 2 JACKPOT8 study.

Revumenib, decitabine/cedazuridine, plus venetoclax elicited an objective response rate of 100% with acceptable safety in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia enrolled in the small phase 1/2 SAVE study.

The T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody teclistamab-cqyv demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in a real-world population of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma consistent with that of those enrolled in the phase 2 MajesTEC-1 trial.
