3/ @CanerSaygin on an excellent paper on the evolution of therapy-related CH in patients treated with or without lenalidomide: x.com/CanerSaygin/st…
Very excited to share our paper investigating the evolution of therapy-related CH in myeloma pts treated w/ or w/o LEN. Can we predict the risk for second blood cancer in myeloma pts? Grateful for the collaboration with @UCCancerCenter myeloma program. nature.com/articles/s4137…

🔥 Hot off the press: In a new study, Cooperrider et al., show that lenalidomide drives expansion of high-risk TP53-mutant clones, which may predispose MM patients to secondary blood cancers like t-MDS and t-ALL. @CanerSaygin @bdermanmd @UChicagoHemOnc ow.ly/gvMO50WqIjj

Sequential BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy (cilta-cel in patients relapsing after ide-cel) in RRMM. N=10, VGPR: 100%, MRD-ve: 60%. 6-month PFS: 64.8% #mmsm #bmtsm @BloodPortfolio ashpublications.org/bloodadvances/…
📢Final BELLINI results at 45.6 months follow-up show no overall survival benefit of venetoclax in the general relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma population. Post-hoc analyses suggest benefits are limited to biomarker-positive subgroups. 👇 shorturl.at/bwOYn
No more REMS for FDA-approved CAR-T products! Also, labeling updated for only 2 weeks in proximity to CAR center and 2 weeks no driving. #lymsm #tcellrx #mmsm fda.gov/vaccines-blood…

Join us in ONE week for an MMRF Patient Webinar for the latest updates in #myeloma treatment, straight from #ASCO25 and #EHA2025. 📅 June 25 🕑 1pm ET/10am PT 👨⚕️ @bdermanmd & @Dr_AdrianaRossi 🏥@UChicagoMed & @MountSinaiNYC @TischCancer Register now: ow.ly/z9f750W7sxJ
While many #CART centers are proficient in managing CRS & ICANS, we are all learning how best to evaluate & manage emerging late toxicities in the field. Fortunate to have @ANASTASIA_ZEK and @NavreetChowlaMD bring their team expertise. Stay tuned for updates as we learn more.
A lot of studies with K-based quad induction being presented. From the IsKia trial (Isa-KRd vs KRd), with ongoing consolidation post-transplant, we see smaller differences in MRD negativity as time goes on with addition of Isa. Except for those with 2+ high-risk abnormalities.…
