Abstract
Significance: The acceptance of MRD-negative complete response as an endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit will allow for the design of streamlined clinical trials for accelerated approval, enabling significantly faster patient access to novel therapies. Cooperative efforts were required to obtain and analyze clinical trial data from multiple sponsors and to determine the best approach to analysis with a relatively limited number of available datasets. The process to evaluate MRD as an intermediate endpoint, undertaken jointly by myeloma researchers and industry, with feedback from the FDA, serves as a roadmap for other areas of oncology to develop intermediate endpoints.
期刊介绍：
The journal Blood Cancer Discovery publishes high-quality Research Articles and Briefs that focus on major advances in basic, translational, and clinical research of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and associated diseases. The topics covered include molecular and cellular features of pathogenesis, therapy response and relapse, transcriptional circuits, stem cells, differentiation, microenvironment, metabolism, immunity, mutagenesis, and clonal evolution. These subjects are investigated in both animal disease models and high-dimensional clinical data landscapes.
The journal also welcomes submissions on new pharmacological, biological, and living cell therapies, as well as new diagnostic tools. They are interested in prognostic, diagnostic, and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and computational and machine learning approaches to personalized medicine. The scope of submissions ranges from preclinical proof of concept to clinical trials and real-world evidence.
Blood Cancer Discovery serves as a forum for diverse ideas that shape future research directions in hematooncology. In addition to Research Articles and Briefs, the journal also publishes Reviews, Perspectives, and Commentaries on topics of broad interest in the field.
