Clinical implications of CLIPI and need for better therapies

In this week's episode we'll learn about targeting the tissue factor pathway inhibitor with a monoclonal antibody to rebalance HEMOSTASIS in hemophilia A and B. In the phase 3 BASIS trial, the monoclonal antibody marstacimab reduced bleeding events, and was generally well tolerated, with no unanticipated side effects. After that: matched-donor allogeneic CD19 CAR-T for adult B-ALL. Given after allogeneic transplantation, CAR-donor lymphocyte infusion after lymphodepleting chemotherapy was associated with favorable efficacy and a tolerable safety profile. Finally: a new prognostic index for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. Comprised of four prognostic factors, the “CLIPI” could enable more personalized treatment of cutaneous lymphomas, identifying patients who may benefit from intensified treatment.
