So it’s a type of an immunogen therapy that targets BCMA, which is antigen on multiple myeloma. It is a first.Study until this hasn’t been used in other patients for other reasons or other indications. There are other BCMA car T-cell therapy but this is built differently to hopefully be more effective. And it is a phase 1 dose escalation first in human study.So this was we looked at patients who were defined as relapse refractory. So it…

Axi-cel: Zuma 7 was a randomized phase 3 study By Armin Ghobadi, MD Zuma 7 was a randomized phase three study that used Axi-Cel versus a standard of. Care chemotherapy followed by autologous transplant.In a second line setting for most patients with relapsed refractory large B-cell lymphoma. That means adult patient with relapse refractory large B-cell lymphoma being refractory to the first line therapy or relapse within the first 12 months of therapy, they’re randomized to access lc, the 19 car versus the standard of care that was chemo followed by. Axi-Cel outcome was superior to a standard of care,…

LW-02 Cartridge: Immunicom Therapy Amir Jafri CEO and Founder What is the LW-02 Cartridge Therapy? Immunicom was actually formed in 2013. It actually was the byproduct of my wife who’s a physician here in San Diego. And not only her experiences with her patients but also personal experiences that she had, people that she knew in the community, friends of hers. That really drove her to, looking for a solution and particularly for cancer patients. That wasn’t toxic, that wasn’t gonna destroy the patient’s lives. And there was actually a friend of hers, she was a single mother…

This trial investigated low molecular weight heparin and standard pregnancy care.First, a standard pregnancy care alone for women with recurrent miscarriage and inherited forms of Thrombophilia. , we have previously shown that in unexplained recurrent miscarriage antithrombotic therapy with low molecular heparin or aspirin does not help. in women with Thrombophilia in that trial, however, we noticed a relative risk of 31.31, so 30% more chances of having a live…

Zanubrutinib: Superior PFS in CLL Jennifer Brown, MD – ASH 2022 By Jennifer Brown, MD I’ll be discussing the alpine study today. By way of background, we note that Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibition and CLL has been transformative. Of its therapy because B-cell receptor signaling is required for tumor expansion and proliferation in CLL and B-cell lymphomas, and that B-cell receptor signaling is dependent on btk.Ibrutinib is the first in class covalent BTK inhibitor. Which did transform CLL therapy, but has properties that limit its use, particularly treatment discontinuation from toxicities with discontinuing rates of 16 to 23% across many…

So these patients were negative for this finding, but they had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemias is the acute leukemia counterpart of what Dr.Brown just told you about chronic lymphocytic leukemia. And these are the detectable cancer cells that we worry about. These are the blast cells that don’t function. And cause…
