Philadelphia-like (Ph-like) or BCR::ABL1-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a common high-risk subtype of B-cell precursor ALL (B-ALL) characterized by a diverse range of genetic alterations that challenge diagnose and converge on distinct kinase and cytokine receptor-activated gene expression profiles, resembling those from BCR::ABL1-positive ALL from which its nomenclature. The presence of kinase-activating genetic drivers has prompted the investigation in preclinical models and clinical settings of the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-based treatments. This was further supported by an inadequate response to conventional chemotherapy, high rates of induction failure and persistent measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity, which translate in lower survival rates compared to other B-ALL subtypes.

Multiple myeloma is characterized by a huge heterogeneity at the molecular level. The RAS/RAF pathway is the most frequently mutated, in ∼50% of the patients. However, these mutations are frequently subclonal, suggesting a secondary event.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapeutics. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) increase morbidity and mortality and thereby limit therapeutic utility. The real-world incidence of the entire spectrum of pulmonary irAEs has not been systematically described.

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are the most potent treatment against multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we review the increasing body of clinical and correlative preclinical data that support their inclusion into firstline therapy and sequencing before T-cell-engaging antibodies. The ambition to cure MM with (BCMA-)CAR T cells is informed by genomic and phenotypic analysis that assess BCMA expression for patient stratification and monitoring, steadily improving early diagnosis and management of side effects, and advances in rapid, scalable CAR T-cell manufacturing to improve access.
