Use of two general-purpose scales to assess clinical pharmacy activities in a cell transplantation unit.

Introduction: The general-purpose rating scales used by clinical pharmacists to rate their activities have not been extensively studied in specialist care units. This study aims to describe drug-related problems (DRPs) and pharmacist interventions (PIs) in a French hematopoietic cell therapy (HCT) unit and to evaluate the PIs' likely clinical, economic, and organizational impacts.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed all DRPs reported and all PIs issued between December 2018 and December 2021.

Clinical outcomes in patients in any phase of CML treated with ponatinib in France-Data from the TOPASE observational study.

The TOPASE study was set up to evaluate the outcomes of chronic myeloid leukaemia [CML] patients treated with ponatinib (PON) in a real-world setting in France. One hundred and twenty CML patients, 105 in chronic phase (CP), 8 in accelerated phase (AP) and 7 in blastic phase (BP) were included. Fifty-one (49%) of the CP-CML patients were in third line of treatment.

[Preventing relapse of acute leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes in post-allograft transplantation: Prophylactic and preemptive strategies (SFGM-TC)].

Disease relapse remains the first cause of mortality of hematological malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia (AML and ALL) and for myelodysplastic syndroms (MDS). More and more patients are eligible for allo-HCT over the years and for many of them, only reduced intensity conditioning is possible, which is associated with a higher risk of relapse. Knowledge and biotechnology allow us to better identify diseases at very high risk of relapse and to measure residual disease before allo-HCT.
