Podcast appearances and mentions of Luciano J Costa

In this week's episode of the Blood Podcast, Associate Editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Binod Dhakal and Ruben Bierings about their respective papers published in this week's issue of Blood. Dr. Dhakal presents his study on using talquetamab, a bispecific antibody, as a bridging therapy before BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell therapy in multiple myeloma patients, showing promising results with high response rates and manageable toxicities. Next, Dr. Bierings identified patients with genetic variants in the guanine exchange factor MAP kinase–activating death domain (MADD) that impair VWF secretion from endothelial cells and possibly cause VWD type 1. Featured ArticlesA novel cause of type 1 von Willebrand disease: impaired exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies due to biallelic MADD variantsSophie Hordijk, Stijn A.

In this activity, an expert in multiple myeloma discusses newer safety and efficacy data surrounding novel and emerging therapeutic drug classes for multiple myeloma, including agents directed against intracellular targets and immune-based treatment. The activity will also include expert insights on how to develop effective, individualized treatment strategies with novel components that are informed by clinical findings and how to manage treatment-related adverse effects associated with emerging agent classes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Cite updated data about the efficacy and safety of novel agent classes and next-generation therapeutics in multiple myeloma, including proteasome inhibitors, IMiDs, novel antibodies, immunotherapies, and epigenetic agents, among others, Develop customized therapy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, including elderly patients, individuals eligible or ineligible for stem-cell transplant, and those requiring maintenance therapy post-transplant, Select regimens adapted to the needs of patients with previously treated multiple myeloma, including those with early relapse or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, Manage treatment-related adverse events in patients with multiple myeloma receiving therapy with novel or next-generation agent classes.
