Ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone combination in "real-world" clinical practice in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Ixazomib is approved for use in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRd) for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who received at least one previous therapy. Registration study "TOURMALINE MM-1" was published in 2016. Nevertheless, clinical trials are significantly different from real-world use.

Real-world effectiveness and safety of daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in Slovakia.

Real-world data on regimens for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) are limited. Daratumumab in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone is a promising new treatment. The aim of this analysis was to assess the outcomes of daratumumab-bortezomib-dexamethasone (DVd) combination for the treatment of patients with RRMM in a real-world setting.

Lenalidomide and dexamethasone in treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma - analysis of data from the Czech Myeloma Group Registry of Monoclonal Gammopathies.

Lenalidomide (LEN) is an immunomodulator with clinical activity against myeloma cells. Based on the pivotal phase 3 trials MM-009 and MM010, the combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone(DEX) was approved for patients with multiple myeloma who received at least one prior therapy. Here, we evaluated LEN/DEX therapy in unselected population and subsequently in selected sub-groups of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma followed in the Registry of Monoclonal Gammopathies of the Czech Myeloma Group.

Identification of new phosphorylation sites of CD23 in B-cells of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most common lymphoproliferative disorder in adults. Patients with B-CLL strongly express the CD23 - C type of lectin (low affinity IgE receptor, Fc epsilon RII), which is linked to B cell activation and proliferation. Phosphorylation in lymphocytes is tightly associated with regulation of protein activities, functional regulation and cell signaling, and may thus affect initiation and/or progression of the disease.

[Idiopathic thrombocytopenia refractery to therapy of cyclosporine A in clinical practice - case report].

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura; ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia without abnormalities in the erythroid and myeloid/lymphoid lineages. The incidence of ITP in adults is estimated at approximately 1.6-3.
