Objectives: Dysregulation of BCL-2 family members has been reported in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), with various BH3-dependencies of the leukemic clone. We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort of patients with relapsed/refractory B or T ALL, with ven-chemotherapy or ven-navitoclax combinations, to assess efficacy and safety.
Methods: Seventeen patients were included in the analysis, median age was 32 years, with 6 B-ALL and 11 T-ALL patients. Nine patients received venetoclax combined with chemotherapy, and 13 patients received venetoclax in combination with navitoclax, vincristine and asparaginase, of which 5 were already exposed to venetoclax in previous lines.
Results: ORR was 55% and 46% among the ven-chemotherapy and the ven-navitoclax-chemotherapy, respectively. Most of the responders proceeded to an allogenic bone marrow transplant in both cohorts. The most common adverse effects of the ven-navitoclax combination were infectious complications and hepatotoxicity.
Conclusions: Our data demonstrated the possible efficacy of ven-chemotherapy and ven-navitoclax in r/r ALL with moderate toxicity.

Background: This analysis explored real-world characteristics, treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) previously treated with lenalidomide and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and requiring subsequent treatment.
Materials And Methods: The PREAMBLE and Connect MM prospective registries of patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and the US nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived de-identified database were analysed. MM-specific treatment patterns (prior/index therapies) and outcomes (progression-free survival [PFS]/overall survival [OS]) were assessed.

: Salvage treatment options have not been validated in relapsed or refractory germ cell tumors. Moreover, the study populations including these patients have different heterogeneities. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three cycles of TIP sequential high-dose chemotherapy in patients with testicular non-seminomatous germ cell tumors who relapsed or had a refractory course after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

Backgroud: The introduction of highly active immunotherapies has changed the outcome of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) in the last two decades. Since then, important progress has been shown using newer and more active immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific antobodies, which currently plays a significant role in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), and mantle cell (MCL) lymphoma.
Purpose: In this review, we provide an updated overview of recently completed and ongoing BsAb trials in patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) B-NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma, including single-agent results, emerging combinations, safety data, and novel constructs.

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtype, relapses or becomes refractory (R/R) in 40% of cases after initial treatment. Among the second-line treatments for these patients is CAR T-cell therapy, which is considered the gold standard and treatment better than SCT. For these patients, polatuzumab vedotin in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (Pola-BR) is a novel treatment.
