2023 ASH Pregnancy Update Slides Etavopivat treatment Low molecular weight heparin versus a standard pregnancy care for women with recurrent miscarriage Okay, so this first abstract let’s talk about low molecular weight heparin versus a standard pregnancy care for women with recurrent miscarriage age and inherited thrombophilia. ALIFE2, which was an open-label phase three randomized control trial. As studies have shown an association between re. Carriages and inherited thrombophilia. And usually we just put the patient on ox if they have miscarriages, plus the proven thrombophilia. And then we go until the end of the pregnancy with ox. And…

MRD: ASH 2022 Ben Derman the MRD2STOP Guide By Ben Derman, MD How can the MRD2STOP guide help patients with MRD? So the study that we have conducted or we’re currently conducting is really a prospective trial. And what we’re trying to do is take patients who have shown to have a durable, deep response to treatment for their myeloma and who are on maintenance therapy and see if they are able to stop their treatment, and then what happens after that happens. And so we’re really relying on MRD (minimal residual disease) testing or MRD (minimal residual disease) technology.…
