Show Notes
In this week's episode, we'll learn about rapid, high-sensitivity diagnostic assays for TTP, or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, that can reduce unnecessary treatments. After that: enhancing PD-1 blockade in relapsed/refractory extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. In a single-arm, phase 2 study, combined CD38 and PD-1 inhibition demonstrated durable responses and manageable safety. Finally, a lymphoma horror story with a happy ending. CREBBP mutations create a zombie enzyme that competes with its wild-type counterparts. By enforcing CD40 signaling, a bispecific antibody overcomes this effect and induces lymphoma cell death.
