ORLANDO—The immunotoxin brentuximab vedotin (SGN 35) has shown efficacy in relapsed and refractory Hodgkin’s Disease in a study from California reported at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting in Orlando. The same agent has also been found to be active against anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma in a study presented at the ASH conference by a group from Seattle. eCancer Radio’s Haematology Editor George Canellos from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institue and Harvard University discusses the clinical promise of these findings for advancing further response rates and “permanent remissions” in Hodgkin’s Disease.

Othman Al-Sawaf MD PhD, a hematologist from University Hospital of Cologne, presents early data from the CLL17 international phase three trial at ASH 2025. The findings indicate that fixed-duration treatment with venetoclax plus obinutuzumab or venetoclax plus ibrutinib is non-inferior to continuous ibrutinib for patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia, potentially becoming the preferred treatment.

Dr. Juan Du presented early phase one study findings at ASH 2025, detailing a novel dual-targeted FasTCAR-T therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The study demonstrated deep, durable responses in patients using the BCMA and CD19-targeting CAR T-cell platform, GC012F/AZD0120. These promising results, consistent across all dose groups, highlight a highly favorable safety profile and potential for patients, including those with high-risk features and transplant-ineligible individuals.

This podcast episode, recorded at ASH 2025, features an interview with María-Victoria Mateos MD PhD, who discusses groundbreaking findings from the Majestec-3 study. The study highlights unprecedented survival benefits with the BCMA/CD3 bispecific antibody teclistamab. In patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, adding teclistamab to standard second-line therapies significantly improved progression-free and overall survival.
