American Society of Hematology (ASH)

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is a professional organization representing hematologists. It was founded in 1958. Its annual meeting is held in December of every year and has attracted more than 30,000 attendees. The society publishes the medical journal Blood, the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field, which is available weekly in print and online, as well as the newly launched, online, peer-reviewed open-access journal, Blood Advances.
Long-term follow-up data of a phase 2 study confirmed the extended prognosis of ibrutinib-treated patients with CLL, particularly those with TP53 alterations. Read More ›

Longer follow-up data of the randomized, phase 3 ALPINE study confirmed PFS benefit and more favorable cardiac safety profile of zanubrutinib compared to ibrutinib therapy in patients with R/R CLL/SLL, with emergence of no new safety signals. Read More ›

Results of the phase 2 CLL2-BAAG trial showed that MRD-guided triple combination therapy of acalabrutinib, venetoclax and obinutuzumab yielded better efficacy outcomes, deeper remission, and achievement of uMRD in patients with R/R CLL. Read More ›

Data from an ongoing, first-in-human phase 1/2 study suggests that combination sonrotoclax (160 mg and 320 mg) plus zanubrutinib therapy was well tolerated and showed encouraging anti-leukemic activity in patients with treatment-naive CLL/SLL. Read More ›

Safe and effective therapeutic options are needed in patients with advanced myelofibrosis and high-risk mutations. Bomedemstat demonstrated improvements in symptoms and spleen responses in patients previously treated with ruxolitinib. Read More ›

TGFβ is a cytokine that enhances myelofibrosis disease progression. AVID200, a TGFβ1/3 inhibitor, may provide clinical benefit manifesting as improved platelet counts in patients with myelofibrosis who have thrombocytopenia. Read More ›

JAK inhibitors are approved in myelofibrosis for relief of symptoms and improvement in spleen responses but have not been shown to impact disease progression. Tagraxofusp monotherapy holds promise for treating myelofibrosis patients who are refractory to JAK inhibitors based on early clinical data. Read More ›

Thrombus formation in patients with myelofibrosis is a common marker of disease progression. The relationship between IPSS score and JAK mutation status may distinguish patients at high risk for thrombosis, which may serve as a guide to therapy decisions. Read More ›

Patients with essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis enroll in various studies in both academic and community centers across the United States. The comparison of patient characteristics across these centers may provide valuable insight into the management of these myeloproliferative neoplasms. Read More ›

Conditioning regimens for allo-HSCT includes either myeloablative conditioning or reduced-intensity conditioning. The use of fludarabine/busulfan appears to deliver better patient outcomes after transplant compared with other commonly used conditioning regimens. Read More ›
