Study Design: An Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved, single-institution retrospective study was conducted. Neonates ≥38 weeks' gestational age born between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2016, with ABO incompatibility were included.
Functional blockade of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway improves the efficacy of cytotoxic and immunotherapies. We conducted a phase 1b study to determine the safety, efficacy, and maximal tolerated dose (200 mg po bid) of the potent, orally-available TGF-β type I receptor kinase inhibitor vactosertib in relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma patients who had received ≥2 lines of chemoimmunotherapy. Vactosertib combined with pomalidomide was well-tolerated at all doses, had a manageable adverse event profile and induced durable responses with 80% progression-free survival (PFS-6) at 6 months, while pomalidomide alone historically achieved 20% PFS-6.

Patients And Methods: NCI, academic, and community cancer centers were electronically sent surveys from October to December 2020 and administered via REDCap.
Results: Survey responses were received from 50 of 64 (78%) NCI-CCs, primarily completed by pediatric oncologists (53%), adult oncologists (11%), and social workers (11%).
