"Measurable residual disease is where I think the terminology fits best in that, it is intended to measure the amount of cancer cells that are present in the blood or bone marrow at the time the sample was collected. We can identify one cancer cell in a million. Where that can be really valuable is when we start to think about the duration of treatments and the response to some of our treatments," ONS member Caitilin Murphy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, chief nurse practitioner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Blood work is a really nice way to evaluate if there is progression of the disease. And we evaluate their blood counts, specifically that complete blood count with a differential. We anticipate an elevated white count, and we anticipate that the absolute lymphocyte count is going to be elevated. That's characteristic of the disease. But what evolves and happens is that those numbers can rapidly change and what we get concerned about is if that white count—and the percentage of the absolute lymphocyte count specifically—starts to increase and double quickly." TS 5:52 "There are some components that help clinicians decide if we expect these things, this cadence of change to happen more readily, or if we feel really comfortable that the biology of the variants contributing to the type of CLL that each patient may have, they may not have that progression as quickly or at all. And so that kind of helps us in that follow-up and cadence. Oftentimes, we're checking blood work every three or six months. Some patients are on an annual interval of visits depending on that active surveillance. I think the other piece is that we have a relatively low threshold when there is a change in symptoms to just recheck those blood tests. It's nice that we can have a pretty readily available blood test to be able to give us a lot of information for these patients." TS 9:45 "When we think about CLL therapy, the old tried and true [treatments] still work: so, rituximab and obinutuzumab. And then we kind of start to think about pathways and the way, the mechanisms of which these treatments are integrated. We think about different pathways of how we can induce cell death, but also what are the potential side effects? What are the potential interactions?" TS 19:35 "I think a lot of this is about really having a clear understanding of the patient's goals and really being able to understand and align. I think we have a lot more data to provide guidance for those patients that really are wanting to know: What is my chance of overall survival? If I do this, does this mean that I don't need to ever be on treatment again? If I do it this way, does it mean that I have to come into clinic every week, or does it mean that I have to come in every week but I'm done? I do one year of treatment, and I don't have to think about treatment for a really long time based on some of these components that we can take into consideration." TS 24:36 "When we think about the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors, with venetoclax, I think the biggest component we think about is tumor lysis syndrome. It's so effective that these cancer cells release all of those electrolytes, potassium, phosphorus; you can see a rise in the lactate dehydrogenase and uric acid because those cells are breaking down. And so subsequently, that leads us to the consideration of, is the patient's kidney function able to clear it? And so a lot of frequent lab monitoring, a lot of hydration, supportive care with medications like ursodiol or allopurinol to really improve the ability to clear that cellular waste product so that it doesn't cause an oncologic emergency." TS 34:11

In today's episode, we spoke with John N. Allan, MD. Dr Allan is an associate attending physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and an associate professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, New York. In our exclusive interview, Dr Allan discussed his review of the currently approved fixed-duration regimens for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Regimens like venetoclax (Venclexta) plus obinutuzumab (Gazyva), ibrutinib (Imbruvica) plus venetoclax, acalabrutinib (Calquence) plus venetoclax, and venetoclax plus rituximab (Rituxan) were all regimens that Allan comparatively delved into. Additionally, Allan discussed insight provided by the review that clinical trials lack, remaining gaps of unmet needs for fixed-duration regimens in CLL, and what research is necessary for the field to conduct moving forward.

BloodCancerTalks: ASCO/EHA 2026 Lymphoma Round-Up with Dr. Thomas LewGuest: Dr. Thomas Lew, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Melbourne, Australia) — hematologist specializing in lymphoid malignancies.In this episode, we break down the biggest lymphoma and CLL data from ASCO and EHA 2026 (Chicago and Stockholm), covering mantle cell lymphoma genomics, bispecific antibodies in DLBCL and follicular lymphoma, a practice-changing (or not) CNS prophylaxis study, transplant-eligible relapsed DLBCL, fixed-duration BTK/BCL2 combinations in CLL, and the first in vivo CAR T data in lymphoma.1. TRIANGLE: TP53-Mutated MCL Molecular Subgroup AnalysisMolecular subgroup data from the practice-shaping TRIANGLE trial presented by Dr. Marta Grau.Discussion: Where TP53-mutated MCL stands today, and whether ibrutinib-containing regimens are changing the natural history of this historically dismal subgroup.2. EPCORE DLBCL-1: Epcoritamab vs. Chemotherapy in R/R DLBCLRandomized phase 3 trial (n=483) of bispecific antibody epcoritamab vs. investigator's choice chemotherapy (72% R-GemOx, 28% BR) in second-line-or-later, transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL, presented by Prof. Chris Fox.Discussion: A PFS benefit without an OS signal, set against a meaningfully higher infection-related mortality — what this means for patient selection and infection mitigation strategies.3. CNS Prophylaxis in Ultra-High-Risk DLBCL: Does HD-MTX Help?Pooled analysis of two large multicenter retrospective cohorts (n=1,923 ultra-high-risk patients — CNS-IPI 5–6, testicular/renal/adrenal/breast involvement, or ≥3 extranodal sites), presented by Dr. Matt Wilson (Glasgow) and simultaneously published in JCO. Discussion: Whether these data close the door on routine HD-MTX in ultra-high-risk DLBCL, and if any subgroup still warrants prophylaxis.4. Pola-R-ICE: A Negative Trial in Transplant-Eligible R/R DLBCLRandomized phase 3 study (4 European cooperative groups; n=294) of polatuzumab vedotin added to R-ICE in transplant-eligible R/R DLBCL, with ASCT/alloSCT/CAR-T permitted as consolidation.Discussion: Why this trial missed, and what it tells us about the ceiling of intensive salvage chemo-immunotherapy platforms in the CAR-T era.5. BRUIN-CLL-322: Fixed-Duration Pirtobrutinib + Venetoclax-Rituximab in R/R CLLRandomized phase 3 trial (n=639) of fixed-duration pirtobrutinib (non-covalent BTKi) plus venetoclax-rituximab (PVR) vs. venetoclax-rituximab (VR, the MURANO-based control) in second-line-or-later R/R CLL.6. SOUNDTRACK-F1: Surovatamig (CD19 Bispecific) Safety Run-In in Untreated Follicular LymphomaSafety run-in from a randomized trial (surovatamig vs. chemoimmunotherapy) in untreated FL meeting GELF criteria, presented by Prof. Chan Cheah — building on EPCORE-FL-1 data presented at ASH.Discussion: How this CD19-directed bispecific compares to CD20-targeting agents in frontline FL.7. LB2501: First In Vivo CAR T Data in B-Cell LymphomaLate-breaking data from Dr. Lei Fan and Legend Biotech on LB2501, an in vivo CD19/CD20 dual-targeted CAR T therapy — a third-generation, self-inactivating, replication-incompetent lentiviral vector that generates CAR T cells directly in vivo, without lymphodepletion. Builds on the in vivo CAR T myeloma data first presented at ASH and updated at EHA.Discussion: What these very early but striking data suggest about the feasibility of in vivo CAR T generation in lymphoma, and how it might reshape access to cellular therapy.BloodCancerTalks is co-hosted by Rajshekhar Chakraborty,  Ashwin Kishtagari and Eddie Cliff.

"What I appreciate about our patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic leukemia is the consideration that they receive a cancer diagnosis, and the best thing for them to do is actually nothing. There is a large population of patients that we don't recommend any type of treatment. We recommend that they establish care with an oncologist and that they have a relationship with those care teams," ONS member Caitilin Murphy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, chief nurse practitioner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about an overview of CLL for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Some of the common risk factors are environmental exposures, occupational exposures, and chemical exposures. For example, in certain farming communities where there are pesticides, that can definitely contribute to the risk of developing CLL. There's some consideration for high levels of radon exposure or exposure to Agent Orange. So our veterans, both from the Vietnam War but also more recently in Iraq. There's definitely a consideration that those types of exposures increase the risk of developing CLL." TS 3:01 "Generally, the average age of diagnosis for CLL is in the seventh decade of life. But over 90% of people are diagnosed at age 50 and above. So, this tends to be a diagnosis in the six or seventh decade of life. It's extremely rare in children, although it has been observed, and it's twice as likely to develop in men than it is compared to women. And then individuals who are White are more frequently affected by CLL than other racial or ethnic groups, followed by people of color. And that includes Black, Hispanic, and Native American individuals, but it's rarer in Asian populations." TS 9:33  "There's a lot of adjustment and coping with a new diagnosis. When we think about the diagnostic approach, we get a lot of information that's incredibly valuable and helps us really to pivot and guide patients as to where they need to go and how we can best support them. We've had well-established studies that look to say, 'If we were to treat patients earlier or have different thresholds for consideration for treatment, do patients do better?' ... I think it's really great that we can actually guide patients in a much more precise way, that you don't need any type of therapy at this point, and it may change and evolve in the future." TS 20:29 "I have some patients that are doers and they want to do something, so this active surveillance or watch and wait really paralyzes their coping. And so they want to do something. Oftentimes, that's really when I pull in some integrative strategies and say exercise is always going to be beneficial. The more active you are, the more physically fit you are. If you really want to do something, make sure that you stay hydrated, that you eat well, and you're engaged in a physical activity that you enjoy and can be consistent with." TS 32:37 "I think another piece that we don't often discuss is around the immunoglobulins and the immune system, but CLL has a pretty significant impact on immune dysfunction. And so patients with CLL, even if they are not on any type of active treatment, their immune system doesn't necessarily function fully. And so they're more likely to develop some upper respiratory infections or more easily develop the flu or coronavirus. ... Often times, we think a lot about supporting patients to get vaccines and to have early evaluation if those symptoms develop because you're more likely to develop upper respiratory infections. I think there's a component around immune dysfunction that I think is really valuable for people to understand that it's not contingent upon the treatment. It's contingent upon the disease and mechanistically, how the B cells are dysfunctional and don't provide that immunity that otherwise would be in a healthy B cell." TS 42:54

In this episode of Treating Together, host Marc Braunstein, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine at the NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center, sits down with Adam Kittai, MD, associate professor and director of the CLL and Lymphoma programs at NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center, for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving frontline treatment landscape in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). As chemotherapy continues to give way to targeted and time-limited therapies, clinicians face an increasingly complex array of choices, each influenced by disease biology, patient preferences, and emerging clinical trial data. Key Discussion PointsThe episode focuses on the evolving frontline management of CLL and how clinicians can individualize therapy in an era of expanding options. Highlights include: Patient Evaluation and Diagnosis Considerations: Beyond traditional risk factors such as TP53 mutation and IGHV status, importance is also being placed on patient preference, comorbidities, and treatment goals (eg, time-limited vs continuous therapy) to guide treatment decisions. Therapy Selection and Sequencing Strategy: Dr Kittai offers his view on sequencing decisions in the front line: given the lack of robust comparative data, current evidence supports prioritizing the most appropriate upfront regimen rather than relying on uncertain sequencing strategies across agents. Insights From the AMPLIFY Trial (NCT03836261): With the recent February 2026 FDA approval of acalabrutinib (Calquence) plus venetoclax (Venclexta) in the front line, the discussion highlights progression-free survival (PFS) benefits seen in the AMPLIFY trial and favorable safety of the doublet. The Growing Role of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD): The discussion briefly pivots to the use of MRD testing in the clinic today, including data from trials like GLOW (NCT03462719) and FLAIR (EudraCT: 2013-001944-76), and its potential to guide treatment duration. Emerging Therapeutic Strategies in the Pipeline: The conversation looks to the future of CLL care, including Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) degraders, next-generation BCL-2 inhibitors, and novel combinations currently under investigation. Managing Richter's Transformation: Dr Kittai covers evolving combination approaches for this aggressive cancer that aim to target both CLL and lymphoma biology, moving beyond chemoimmunotherapy.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into some of the most intriguing advancements and strategic moves shaping the future of drug development and patient care. Regeneron has recently ventured into the radiopharmaceuticals market through a substantial $2.1 billion agreement with Australia's Telix Pharmaceuticals. This move marks a significant diversification from Regeneron's traditional focus, such as obesity treatments, to an area that combines radioactive isotopes with targeting molecules for diagnosing and treating diseases like cancer more effectively. The strategic alliance positions Regeneron as a formidable player in this emerging field, promising to expand its therapeutic portfolio and revenue streams. In oncology innovation, GSK is pushing forward with a bold initiative, conducting Phase 3 trials for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in collaboration with Hansoh Pharmaceutical. This effort underscores GSK's commitment to expanding its oncology pipeline, particularly in targeting unmet medical needs through innovative therapies. Antibody-drug conjugates are designed to deliver cytotoxic agents directly to cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy tissues and offering a precision approach to cancer treatment. Allogeneic CAR-T therapies are also making waves, with Allogene Therapeutics reporting promising early data from their off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy, cema-cel. This therapy effectively eradicated minimal residual disease in lymphoma patients, highlighting the potential of allogeneic approaches to provide accessible cancer treatments without the logistical complexities of autologous methods. In another significant milestone, Ideaya Biosciences, in collaboration with Servier, achieved success with their eye cancer drug candidate meeting its primary endpoint in a crucial Phase 2/3 trial. This success sets the stage for an accelerated FDA approval filing, offering new hope for patients dealing with this challenging condition. Revolution Medicines has made notable progress in oncology as well, with its highly anticipated RAS inhibitor demonstrating improved survival outcomes in a Phase 3 trial for pancreatic cancer. Extending survival by an average of six months compared to chemotherapy could redefine treatment paradigms for one of the most aggressive cancer types. Not every development has been favorable, however. Replimune faced its second FDA rejection for its melanoma candidate RP1, leading to workforce reductions—a testament to the rigorous nature of regulatory approvals and the challenges companies face when bringing novel therapies to market. Meanwhile, BioNTech and Synox Therapeutics are advancing towards FDA approval for their tumor-targeting therapies. These efforts could intensify competition within the oncology space, challenging established giants like AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo. In pain management, AbbVie has expanded its portfolio through a $745 million deal with Haisco Pharmaceutical Group for two non-opioid pain treatment candidates. This move aligns with growing demand for non-opioid alternatives amid the opioid crisis, reflecting a strategic shift towards safer pain management solutions. Spyre Therapeutics has also reported positive Phase 2 results for its ulcerative colitis drug, setting it up as a potential competitor against Takeda's Entyvio. Success here could enhance therapeutic options for patients struggling with this chronic condition, highlighting continued innovation in gastrointestinal disorders. Eli Lilly's recent success with its BTK inhibitor Jaypirca marks a pivotal moment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment strategies. Having demonstrated substantial efficacy in a Phase 3 clinical trial—the fourth positive readout—Jaypirca establishes itself as an industry first. Its fixed-duratioSupport the show

Meghan Gutierrez, CEO of the Lymphoma Research Foundation, and Jennifer Branstetter, the Executive Director, North America Corporate Affairs at BeOne Medicines, join me to discuss the growing use of AI in patient care with a specific focus on individuals with lymphoma and other blood cancers. Emphasis is on the necessity of a collaborative, patient-centric approach to developing AI tools, bringing together patient advocacy organizations, healthcare professionals, and pharma partners to provide accurate information to patients. The goal is to serve a diverse population by providing personalized, accessible information to help patients have more meaningful discussions with their healthcare providers, not to replace the clinician's role. Jen explains, "We know that tens of millions of people are using AI tools in general, like ChatGPT, for health questions, including patients with blood cancers like chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL, they're all turning to the different AI tools that are out there. And from our perspective, we see this continuous growth of use, we want to make sure that the right healthcare information is getting fed into those AI resources and tools so that patients are getting the most accurate information possible."   Meg elaborates, "Many patients are using these AI tools to make sense of everything from their PET scans to their blood results, to some of the treatment language they receive in their clinician's or doctor's office. And one of the things that I heard recently from a cancer patient who had uploaded his scans and some test results into an AI platform. And he called me incredibly concerned. He was very concerned about his prognosis and the limited treatment options that he believed were available to him." "So when I pressed further, I found out that this AI platform was the only source of information that he had. So I became concerned when I recognized that the information he received was antiquated. So the treatment results and some of the information he was working from in this incredibly anxious and anxiety-provoking moment were 10 years old. And so in this case, antiquated information was as dangerous as inaccurate information. And both of these remain top concerns at the Lymphoma Research Foundation. And I think across our sector, as we see more and more patients using these tools and platforms to help educate them about their disease and their treatment options." #LymphomaResearchFoundation #LRF #BeOneMedicines #LymphomaAwareness #AIinHealthcare #PatientAdvocacy #BloodCancer #HealthcareInnovation #PatientEmpowerment #PrecisionMedicine #CLL #HealthTech #CancerCare lymphoma.org BeOneMedicines.com Download the transcript here

During a visit to Columbia University Irving Cancer Research Center, experts across hematologic oncology shared their perspectives on key trends and developments in their respective fields. These conversations explored novel therapeutic approaches and translational research that may advance the paradigm across different leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma populations.First, Nicole Lamanna, MD, an associate clinical professor of medicine in the Hematologic Malignancies Section of the Hematology/Oncology Division at Irving Medical Center, discussed relevant advancements in the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). She described how the FDA approval of fixed-duration acalabrutinib (Calquence) plus venetoclax (Venclexta) may affirm a shift away from standard chemoimmunotherapy in the field. Her discussion also emphasized evaluating the adverse effects and benefit/risk profiles of drug classes such as BTK inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors during the treatment decision-making process.Next, Rajshekhar Chakraborty, MD, an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Irving Medical Center, touched upon critical themes related to the use of bispecific antibodies for patients with multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders. Educating providers on the utility of bispecific antibodies in earlier treatment settings, he noted, is one of the important challenges that the field must address to expand usage of these therapies in community practices. He also highlighted findings from the phase 3 MajesTEC-3 trial (NCT05083169) and how they support the clinical utility of teclistamab-cqyv (Tecvayli) plus daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj (Darzalex Faspro) for patients with relapsed/refractory disease.Finally, Hua-Jay “Jeff” Cherng, MD, an assistant professor of medicine in the Lymphoma Program in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at Irving Medical Center, detailed translational work that may shape clinical practice in the lymphoma space. He spoke about research aiming to move markers like ctDNA and minimal residual disease from “the bench to the bedside” as part of clinical decision-making for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Other future focuses, Cherng said, include leveraging molecular genotyping to improve outcomes for higher-risk subgroups or even replacing chemotherapy with less toxic targeted agents.References CALQUENCE® plus venetoclax approved in the US as first all-oral, fixed-duration combination for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the 1st-line setting.
