Abstract
Summary: Lancman and colleagues find that infection risk in patients treated with anti-BCMA bispecific antibodies for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is associated with severe immunoglobulin deficiency and may be mitigated by immunoglobulin replacement therapy. The study has implications for managing infection risk and raises questions about the optimal duration of treatment with these potent, novel immunotherapies. See related article by Lancman et al., p. 440 (4) .
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.
