    Effect of Cumulative Dose of Brentuximab Vedotin Maintenance in Relapsed/Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma after Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: An Analysis of Real-World Outcomes

    Data were collected from patients who received at least one cycle of brentuximab vedotin maintenance after autologous stem cell transplant with primary refractory disease, extra-nodal disease, or relapse < 12 months from the end of frontline therapy. [Haematologica]

    Abstract

    Novel Fas-TNFR Chimeras That Prevent Fas Ligand-Mediated Kill and Signal Synergistically to Enhance CAR T Cell Efficacy

    Co-expression of Fas-CD40 with either 4-1BB- or CD28-containing CARs increased in vitro efficacy by augmenting CAR T cell proliferation and cancer target cytotoxicity, and enhanced tumor killing and overall mouse survival in vivo.
