Efficacy of Rituximab Combined with Pentostatin or Bendamustine in Multiply Relapsed Hairy Cell Leukemia: Insights from a Phase 2 Trial

Efficacy of Rituximab Combined with Pentostatin or Bendamustine in Multiply Relapsed Hairy Cell Leukemia: Insights from a Phase 2 Trial

This phase 2 trial reveals that both pentostatin-rituximab and bendamustine-rituximab combinations achieve high response rates exceeding rituximab alone in multiply relapsed or refractory hairy cell leukemia, with potential superiority trends favoring pentostatin-rituximab in selected patients.

Busulfan-Melphalan Conditioning Enhances Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma with Reinforced VRD: Insights from the Phase 3 GEM12 Trial

The phase 3 GEM12 trial compares busulfan-melphalan versus melphalan conditioning in ASCT for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, showing longer PFS with busulfan-melphalan after intensified VRD induction and consolidation, especially in advanced ISS stages and select genetic subgroups.
