Targeting mutant calreticulin in MPNs; focusing on bleeding risk in patients with cancer; revisiting diagnostic guidelines for familial HLH
In this week's podcast, we'll learn about targeting mutant calreticulin in MPNs, or myeloproliferative neoplasms. Then, it’s time to address bleeding and clotting in cancer. Results of the prospective, observational CAT-BLED study provide much needed data on the high risk of clinically relevant bleeding, and its association with all-cause mortality, among cancer patients receiving systemic therapy. Finally, we'll revisit diagnostic guidelines for familial HLH, or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The authors present new and improved diagnostic criteria with revised clinical criteria, and guidelines on cellular and genetic diagnostic assays.Featured Articles:Selective targeting of mutated calreticulin by the monoclonal antibody INCA033989 inhibits oncogenic function of MPNBleeding events in patients with cancer: incidence, risk factors, and impact on prognosis in a prospective cohort studyDiagnostic guidelines for familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis revisited

Stratifying risk in acute myeloid leukemia, daratumumab plus chemotherapy in relapsed-refractory pediatric leukemias, and a method for creating genetically engineered platelets
In this week's episode we’ll learn more about a new risk classification scheme for use in patients with acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for intensive therapy, efficacy and safety of daratumumab plus chemotherapy in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma, and a blood bank-compatible method for creating genetically engineered platelets with a wide range of potential uses.Featured Articles:Genetic Risk Stratification and Outcomes Among Treatment-Naive Patients with AML Treated With Venetoclax and Azacitidine Daratumumab in Pediatric Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma: DELPHINUS Study Genetic Engineering of Transfusable Platelets with mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticles is Compatible with Blood Banking Practices

Exploring the ecosystem of extramedullary myeloma; role of ruxolitinib for pediatric acute GvHD; “YAP”-ing about YAP1 and thrombopoiesis in ITP
In this week's episode we'll learn about new explorations in extramedullary myeloma. Then, we'll hear about the role of ruxolitinib in children with acute GvHD. Finally: yapping about YAP1 as a new treatment target in immune thrombocytopenia.

First-line asciminib for chronic myeloid leukemia, a new risk score for clonal cytopenia, and genotyped D-positive blood transfusion in sickle cell anemia
In this week's episode we’ll learn more about the ASCEND study, which investigated first-line asciminib in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia; a new risk score for myeloid neoplasm transformation in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance; and use of RHD genotyped D-positive blood transfusions in patients with sickle cell and unexpected anti-D antibodies.Featured ArticlesAsciminib Monotherapy as Frontline Treatment of Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia - Results from the ASCEND StudyRisk Prediction for Clonal Cytopenia: Multicenter Real-World Evidence Genotyped RhD+ red cells for D-positive patients with sickle cell disease with conventional RHD and unexpected anti-D
