In this week's podcast, we'll learn about targeting mutant calreticulin in MPNs, or myeloproliferative neoplasms. Then, it’s time to address bleeding and clotting in cancer. Results of the prospective, observational CAT-BLED study provide much needed data on the high risk of clinically relevant bleeding, and its association with all-cause mortality, among cancer patients receiving systemic therapy. Finally, we'll revisit diagnostic guidelines for familial HLH, or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The authors present new and improved diagnostic criteria with revised clinical criteria, and guidelines on cellular and genetic diagnostic assays.

In this week's episode we’ll discuss a novel tripartite fusion drives treatment resistance in acute promyelocytic leukemia. In some patients with atypical APL, these novel retinoic acid receptor gene fusions result in truncation of the ligand binding domain of the retinoic acid receptor protein, resulting in non-responsiveness to treatment with all-trans retinoic acid. After that: managing immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia or iTTP without therapeutic plasma exchange, or TPE. Finally, hope for motherhood after allogeneic HCT.

In this week's episode we'll learn how cytomegalovirus infection early in life depletes preleukemic cells in a mouse model of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After that we'll discuss new research, where GVHD targets organoid-forming bile duct stem cells in a TGF-beta-dependent manner. Conversely, a TGF-beta inhibitor protects these stem cells against GVHD and mitigates biliary dysfunction. Finally, we'll hear about the seven-year outcomes for venetoclax-ibrutinib in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. In addition to long-term survival benefits, researchers report durable treatment-free remissions and effective retreatment in patients with MRD-negative complete responses.

In this week's episode we'll learn about iron, HFE hemochromatosis, and infections. In this large, population-based study, both high and low levels of plasma iron and transferrin saturation were associated with increased risks of infection. Then, we'll discuss how bispecific antibodies improve CAR T-cell response in B-cell malignancies. In-vitro and in-vivo data demonstrate enhanced therapeutic efficacy when a CD20-directed bispecific antibody is given in combination with CD19-directed CAR-T cells. Finally, we'll hear about determinants of outcome in NPM1-mutated AML. In a large series of patients with NPM1-mutated AML, investigators identified several variables beyond FLT3-ITD that adversely impacted outcomes.
