ASH 2021 – virtual

Shirley D’Sa discusses the results of the first clinical trial investigating checkpoint inhibition in relapsed/refractory Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia as well as other immunotherapeutic agents or combinations that might be worth investigating in this setting and explains the association of type I cryoglobulinemia with WM, IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Constantine Tam gives an overview of the results obtained by the SEQUOIA trial, the advantages and disadvantages of BTKi and BCL2i 1L therapy versus their drawbacks and explains which CLL-patients might benefit from BTK inhibitor monotherapy and who might be better off receiving combination treatment including a BTK inhibitor and how novel BCL2 inhibitors improve CLL treatment compared to the standard agent venetoclax.

Jennifer A. Woyach explains which factors need to be considered when choosing the frontline regimen for patients with early-stage CLL, how resistance to BTK inhibition can be tackled in later lines, if chemoimmunotherapy still has a role in the treatment of CLL and highlights the most interesting findings on the management of treatment-naïve CLL patients.

Paolo Ghia highlights what modern targeted agents can achieve in terms of undetectable minimal residual disease in the management of patients with CLL and important methodological recommendations to ensure correct assessment of TP53 and IGHV mutational status. He explains how the three epigenetic subgroups (m-CLL, n-CLL, i-CLL) are related, what effect a thorough immunogenetic analysis has on the risk stratification of patients with CLL and gives an overview about the most interesting findings on the management of pretreated CLL patients.

Alessandra Tedeschi depicts her personal highlights reported at ASH 2021 and explains the results obtained in treatment-naïve CLL patients with a deletion of 17p in the SEQUOIA study. The influence of age, fitness, and concomitant medications on the management and outcomes of patients with CLL treated with targeted agents, the most notable progress in B-cell malignancies over the last years and the role of BTK inhibitors in the treatment of patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia are summarized, too.
