Long-term results from the phase III TRIANGLE trial show ibrutinib-based regimens improve survival in younger mantle cell lymphoma patients, while the ECHO trial establishes a new standard for older patients. Advances in CAR T-cell and bispecific antibody therapies are reshaping treatment for this rare blood cancer. The findings were presented at the annual MCL Consortium meeting.

The FDA has accepted an NDA for iberdomide in combination with anti-CD38 antibodies for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. A phase 2 study reports a 39% near complete response rate for the DaraKPd quadruplet therapy with durable MRD negativity. Preclinical research shows the RXR agonist IRX4204 sensitizes myeloma cells to ferroptosis and enhances lenalidomide efficacy.

The phase III frontMIND trial showed that adding tafasitamab and lenalidomide to R-CHOP chemotherapy reduced the risk of progression by 25% in patients with high-risk B-cell lymphomas. The 3-year progression-free survival was 67.3% with the combination versus 60.7% with R-CHOP alone. A dual-targeted CD19/CD20 immunotherapy regimen has also been approved in Australia for relapsed follicular lymphoma.

Researchers have engineered immune cells to sense cancer metabolites, improving tumor infiltration in solid cancers. Separate studies identify Kappa and Lambda Myeloma Antigens as specific targets for multiple myeloma treatment, while mRNA-based personalized cancer vaccines show promise through AI-driven neoantigen selection.

MajesTEC-9 trial demonstrates teclistamab's superiority over standard care in second-line multiple myeloma treatment, with significant progression-free survival and overall survival benefits supporting earlier use of the BCMA-targeting bispecific antibody.
Mar 06, 2026
The FDA approved Tecvayli plus Darzalex Faspro for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in March 2026, and Darzalex Faspro-based quadruplet D-VRd for newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible patients in January 2026.
Feb 12, 2026
The FDA approved pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Keytruda Qlex plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab, for adults with PD-L1+ platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma based on Phase 3 trial data showing improved survival outcomes.
