January's FDA oncology approvals offer new treatment options for breast cancer, mantle cell lymphoma, and other malignancies.

The association of CAR T-cell therapies with second primary cancers warrants the development and examination of mitigation strategies for these toxic effects.

The FDA approved acalabrutinib in combination with bendamustine and rituximab for adults with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant.

NCCN guidelines now recommend ctDNA testing for MRD assessment for patients with PET-positive DLBCL after treatment.

New data from the ZUMA-2 trial of brexu-cel showed an ORR of 91% in patients with relapsed/refractory MCL who were naive to BTK inhibitors.

Sattva S. Neelapu, MD, notes that axi-cel is a highly effective therapeutic approach for patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Treatment with zanubrutinib, compared with bendamustine plus rituximab, reduced the risk for disease progression or death by 71% in patients with CLL/SLL, according to 5-year follow-up.

Patients administered lymphodepletion prior to brexu-cel in the outpatient setting experienced a 60-day non-relapse mortality rate of 3.6% in B-ALL and MCL.

The addition of tafasitamab to lenalidomide and rituximab reduced the risk for disease progression or death by 57% in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Second-generation BTK inhibitors exhibited a significantly lower incidence of cardiac adverse effects in B-cell malignancies, according to a meta analysis.

Patients with mantle cell lymphoma in first complete response with undetectable MRD did not benefit from consolidative autologous transplant, according to results from the ECOG-ACRIN EA4151/BMT-CTN 1601 trial.

Treatment with tafasitamab for relapsed/refractory DLBCL in the United States was supported by data from a retrospective analysis.

Real-world treatment with liso-cel showed a broad spectrum of outcomes that were comparable to those in the pivotal TRANSFORM and PILOT trials in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

The FDA set a PDUFA date for glofitamab in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma for July 20, 2025.

Bendamustine plus obinutuzumab outperformed historical data of bendamustine plus rituximab for patients with treatment naïve mantle cell lymphoma.

Real-world data showed differences in outcomes by race/ethnicity in elderly patients.

Nivolumab plus AVD outperformed brentuximab vedotin plus AVD in patients with advanced-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

An analysis of 16 studies showed that CAR T-cell therapy is safe and effective for relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

NT-17, a long-acting IL-7 agent, enhances CAR T-cell factors associated with efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL when administered 21 days post-CAR T infusion.

The FDA granted a priority review to acalabrutinib for the treatment of previously untreated adults with mantle cell lymphoma.

The FDA approved Boruzu, a new presentation of bortezomib, for subcutaneous or intravenous administration in patients with multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma.

Throughout August, the FDA approved drugs for the treatment of diseases including non-small cell lung cancer, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma, and endometrial cancer.

A phase 2 study reveals impactful objective response rates with manageable adverse events in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma treated with odronextamab.

Denileukin diftitox received FDA approval to treat relapsed/refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma previously treated with at least 1 systemic therapy.

The monitoring period after CAR T-cell therapy may be safe if shortened due to the lower incidence of ICANS and CRS 2 weeks after treatment in patients with DLBCL.

Durable complete responses were observed in patients with TP52-mutated mantle cell lymphoma treated with ibrutinib plus venetoclax.

Adding brentuximab vedotin to lenalidomide/rituximab results in a stronger overall survival benefit compared with lenalidomide/rituximab alone in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Three-year findings from the TRANSFORM trial provide further evidence that liso-cel should be considered as the new standard of care along with other CAR T-cell therapies for patients with primary refractory or relapsed LBCL, an expert said.

Adding ibrutinib to chemoimmunotherapy induction with autologous stem-cell transplantation improves failure-free survival rates in younger patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Throughout June, the FDA approved drugs for the treatment of diseases including myelodysplastic syndrome, thyroid cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, and follicular lymphoma.
