Article Abstract

There are scarce data in the literature focusing on newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients who undergo autologous haematopoietic cell transplantation (autoHCT) after achieving suboptimal response to induction. To address this, we performed a retrospective, single-centre analysis of patients with NDMM who underwent upfront autoHCT between 2005 and 2021 with a pretransplant response of less than very good partial response (3 years and median OS of >8 years. Post-transplant maintenance further improved survival outcomes.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.

Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

Despite therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable, especially in relapsed/refractory (R/R) cases. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a key target for novel immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies and bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), which vary in efficacy, toxicity, and accessibility. To compare the efficacy and safety of BCMA-directed CAR-T therapies and BiTEs in R/R MM through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Light chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a malignant hematological disease characterized by bone marrow infiltration by tumor plasma cells and the secretion of monoclonal free light chains (κ or λ). It is often di-agnosed through hypogammaglobulinemia detected by serum protein electrophoresis, followed by immunotyping showing a monoclonal band in free light chains. However, the structure of monoclonal light chains can sometimes complicate laboratory findings.

Purpose: The survival and progression of multiple myeloma (MM) cells rely heavily on supportive factors and cells within the MM microenvironment, notably macrophages. The PI3K signaling pathway plays a crucial role in both myeloma cells survival and macrophage polarity, making it a potential target for altering the MM microenvironment dynamics.

Methods: In this study, the impact of LY294002, a PI3K signaling pathway inhibitor, on the viability of U266 myeloma cells in mono-culture and MM patient-derived bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) in co-culture was investigated.
