A Phase 2 #clinicaltrial has revealed that a #bonemarrowtransplant (BMT) approach, which sidesteps the use of high-dose chemotherapy, significantly enhances event-free and overall #survival rates in #patients with #sicklecell disease (#SCD). This cutting-edge method employs a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen prior to transplantation. This prepares the body to accept new cells by preserving some existing #StemCells, thereby lowering the likelihood of #donorcellrejection—a significant concern for adult recipients. Two years post-transplantation, the event-free survival rate was approximately 83%, while the overall survival rate stood at an impressive 94%, as per the reports from the #researchers.

#Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a diverse group of #cancers that result in #bonemarrow failure and may develop into more advanced cancers such as acute myeloid #leukemia. In ongoing clinical trials, YSM researchers are investigating new therapies that could offer MDS patients independence from #transfusions. https://brnw.ch/21wGi9A

Adults with newly diagnosed multiple #myeloma ineligible for transplant...#Daratumumab + #AntineoplasticTherapy vs #antineoplastic therapy only. What are the benefits and harms? 🤔 📚 🔍 Evidence from 4 studies with 1,783 included. Key messages • Research shows that in adults with multiple myeloma, adding a newer medicine called daratumumab to standard antimyeloma treatments probably helps people live longer than treatment with standard antimyeloma treatments alone. • Adding daratumumab probably increases the chance of serious adverse events, but probably not the chance of overall adverse events defined as Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of grade ≥ 3. • Treatment with daratumumab probably increases the chance of infections. 🤓 Read the full #SystematicReview and #PlainLanguage summary in the #CochraneLibrary Langer P, John L, Monsef I, Scheid C, Piechotta V, Skoetz N. Daratumumab and antineoplastic therapy versus antineoplastic therapy only for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma ineligible for transplant. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2024, Issue 5. Art. No.: CD013595. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD013595.pub2. #BloodCancer

In this MEDtalk, Maria Bourlon presents the updated efficacy in the intention-to-treat population at 55-month median follow-up on the CheckMate 9ER phase 3 trial. The results show that the combination therapy with nivo+cabo continues to maintain meaningful long-term benefits in efficacy endpoints, such as progression-free survival, overall survival, and overall response rates. #Nyrecancer #Survival #Kidneycancer

Very useful article about lung transplantation in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. I really like table 1 that gives very practical advice on when to refer patients and what criteria are used to list patients. However, I hope I do not have to use these recommendations any time soon. https://lnkd.in/d6myhK5X

A liver transplant is the only treatment for biliary atresia. It is important to educate and bring awareness to this, just as much as the disease itself. Over the years, there have been improvements and changes to the transplant system, and recently, the biggest change is yet to come: the OPTN Modernization Initiative. Please take time to watch this educational presentation by NYU's Macey Levan who gives a rich history on transplantation and transparent information on where we are headed!
