Relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia responds well to a combination of modified hyper-CVAD, blinatumomab and tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Introduction: Adults with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (R/R Ph+ BCP-ALL) have a dismal outcome. Blinatumomab as a single agent has shown activity in R/R Ph- BCP-ALL, and second or third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can produce high remission rates in Ph+ leukaemias. We aimed to assess the activity of blinatumomab and TKI in combination with intensive chemotherapy in the relapsed or refractory setting.

Mini-consolidations or intermediate-dose cytarabine for the post-remission therapy of AML patients over 60. A retrospective study from the DATAML and SAL registries.

According to current recommendations, older AML patients in first complete remission (CR) after induction chemotherapy should receive consolidation with intermediate-dose cytarabine (IDAC). However, no study has demonstrated the superiority of IDAC over other regimen. In this retrospective study, we compared the efficacy of mini-consolidations (idarubicin 8 mg/m day 1, cytarabine 50 mg/m/12 h, day 1-5) and IDAC.

Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma: The LYSA pragmatic guidelines.

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a distinct entity among hematological malignancies of B-cell origin. It is characterized by its unique histopathological features and generally favorable prognosis. Over the years, advancements in understanding its pathogenesis, coupled with refined diagnostic and evaluation modalities, as well as therapeutic strategies, have significantly transformed the landscape of HL management.
