🚨 hot off the press 🚨 A (perhaps) underestimated aspect of CAR T-cell therapy: non-relapse mortality. Check out our new meta-analysis on this clinically relevant topic - out today in @NatureMedicine ! nature.com/articles/s4159… Let’s take a deeper dive! Start 🧵
Congrats to @KRejeski, @RShouval, and their team on developing a new grading system to evaluate patterns of thrombocytopenia in patients treated with commercial CD19 CAR-T therapy for B-cell non-Hodgkin #lymphoma. @BloodJournal Read the study: bit.ly/42FHRgd
#Myeloma Paper of the Day: Viewpoint piece makes evidence-based arguments for use of primary prophylaxis as a safer and simpler approach compared to preemptive IgG-guided immunoglobulin replacement therapy in pts getting bispecific antibodies: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40690761/. #mmsm
Our latest Review summarizes the current knowledge on mortality-defining toxicities of #CARTcell therapies, beyond CRS and ICANS. @KRejeski & colleagues discuss underlying mechanisms of rare and long-term toxicities and how these affect timing and management, and outline key…
Beautiful paper by my good friend @pkarschnia, amazing to see all your academic progress in the last decade! Highly recommended reading out in @NatRevNeurol on all things CAR-T neurotoxicity - from ICANS to TIAN and MNTs👇

Thanks for shining a light on our recent paper on nonrelapse mortality with bispecifics with this informative commentary - enjoyed reading it @RahulBanerjeeMD and @samyamshon !
Pleasure co-writing @MolTherapy commentary with @samyamshon on excellent meta-analysis of bsAb NRM in #lymsm #MMsm. 1️⃣ Many mechanisms: largely infectious, not CRS 2️⃣ Yes, early C19 years contributed to deaths - but does not exculpate this class 3️⃣ Better IVIG guidance needed!
What an absolute tour-de-force just published in Cancer Cell by @GreenLymphoLab and colleagues ! Using single-nucleus multiome profiling of 232 (!) lymphoma samples, they uncover distinct tumor microenvironmental features, relevant for response to CART19 ☝️
Lymphoma Microenvironment Archetype Profiles (LymphoMAPs). Just presented by @dgermain21 at #18icml @icmlugano, now available online in Cancer Cell. #lmsm @washumedicine @MDAndersonNews. cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…
Great work by @YiLinMDPhD and team from @MayoCancerCare on potential predictors of IEC CNP and Parkinsonism presented at this years #EHA25
Great job @Kennethjclim presenting @MayoCancerCare risk factor of IEC-nerve palsy & Parkinsonism #EHA25 #mmsm Hopefully we will learn soon from CARTITUDE trials & RWE across centers whether additional early mitigating strategies could reduce the risk further @IMFmyeloma
Whirlwind day at #EHA25 presenting first on eligibility + longterm safety of CAR-T in 2L LBCL and then receiving this years EHA Publication Award for our ICAHT work in the Presidential Session 🙌 Grateful to share these moments with friends, collaborators and fantastic mentors!
