Abstract

A 69-year-old man with sensorineural hearing loss and iritis was diagnosed with atypical Cogan’s syndrome. He had several systematic manifestations: aortitis, meningitis, panniculitis and seronegative arthritis. Remission induced by treatment with high doses of prednisolone was followed by relapse within 1 year. Although his condition was resistant to various immunosuppressive drugs, including methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine and adalimumab, his symptoms, inflammatory response and quality of life measures were successfully improved by tocilizumab, a humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody.

Hodgkin Lymphom: BrECADD-Regime übertrifft die Erwartungen

05.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Kongressbericht

Das Kombinationsregime BrECADD mit Brentuximab vedotin ermöglichte in der Studie HD21 beim fortgeschrittenen klassischen Hodgkin-Lymphom eine unerwartet hohe progressionsfreie Überlebensrate von 94,3% nach vier Jahren. Gleichzeitig war das Regime besser tolerabel als der bisherige Standard eBEACOPP.

Antikörper-Drug-Konjugat verdoppelt PFS bei Multiplem Myelom

05.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Nachrichten

Zwei Phase-3-Studien deuten auf erhebliche Vorteile des Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugats Belantamab-Mafodotin bei vorbehandelten Personen mit Multiplem Myelom: Im Vergleich mit einer Standard-Tripeltherapie wurde das progressionsfreie Überleben teilweise mehr als verdoppelt.

Neuer TKI gegen CML: Höhere Wirksamkeit, seltener Nebenwirkungen
