Odronextamab monotherapy in R/R DLBCL after progression with CAR T-cell therapy: Primary analysis of the ELM-1 study.

Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) progressing after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T) have dismal outcomes. The prespecified post-CAR T expansion cohort of the ELM-1 study investigated the efficacy and safety of odronextamab, a CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, in patients with disease progression after CAR T. Sixty patients received IV odronextamab weekly for 4 cycles followed by maintenance until progression.

Small but mighty: targeted antifungal liposomes of a smaller size are superior in treating cryptococcal meningitis.

Unlabelled: Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CME) is deadly. CME is responsible for 19% of deaths in AIDS patients, and its global mortality is greater than 60%. The recommended CME therapy requires amphotericin B (AmB), a fungicidal drug targeting fungal ergosterol.
