"We suspect that the disparity we see in AA and in studies West Africa, may or may not be present in East Africa. Which is why we are studying the Somali population in Minnesota currently".

I know that Bexobrutideg is in phase 2 clinical trial; DAYBreak (NCT07221500). But will degrading BTK rewrite the rules of resistance, or simply redraw its boundaries? 🤔
That..... I don't know 😐 @DrHKantarjian @lymphomahub

@g_diets_ I believe it should be cutting refined and high glycemic index carbs and not carbs entirely as they are the cheapest source of ATP. Also I don't think a GFR <90ml/min is already dangerous. Many normal adults have it. But dietary modification should be emphasized.

@HenrychihangFu1 I think it's too early to call..... But I agree, it will become more selective in the future.....

Across arms, the MRD-negative CR rate was 91.8% by the premaintenance timepoint; the MRD negativity rate was 100% in evaluable samples at postinduction cycle 3 (1 × 10−5, cycle 6 (1 × 10−5 and 1 × 10−6 and premaintenance (1 × 10−5); the ORR was 100%

Similar to earlier studies, early exposure to chemotherapy seems to play a role in the incidence of a second cancer...... Should exposure to chemo be limited to prevent such reoccurrence? 🤔

Accelerated 5-day, inpatient, venetoclax ramp-up is feasible, with a 2.5% rate of laboratory tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and no clinical TLS.

Meanwhile.....
The SPEARHEAD-1 phase trial for advanced synovial sarcoma showed

• ORR: 43%
• CR: 3.6%
• Median DoR: 5.3 months
CRS and pleural effusion were the most common serious AEs reported in at least 5% of patients.

The injection, also known as satri-cel, is ⁠globally the first approved CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors.
The median follow-up time for PFS was 9·07 months (95% CI 6·21–13·01) in the satri-cel grp and 3·45 months (2·89–not estimable) in the TPC grp

Tumor Genesis Syndrome is a rare oncologic condition characterized by severe electrolyte depletion, primarily marked by hypophosphatemia, caused by the excessive intake of phosphorus and other nutrients by rapidly multiplying cancer cells.

@MattZirwas @Kylechasse I think it's a yin yang effect. How much of the "good" microbiome vs the "bad" microbes is present in an individual as to cause health problems. Yes, it can be a good poster theme for the probiotic people so far it is about the depletion of the "bad" microbiome.
