Conversations About BTK Inhibitors and CAR T-Cell Therapies Bridge Gaps in Leukemia and Lymphoma: With Alexey Danilov, MD, PhD

Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Ashley Chan.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Alexey Danilov, MD, PhD, about current challenges and emerging treatment approaches for the management of leukemia and lymphoma that were published in a manuscript based on proceedings from the inaugural Bridging the Gaps in Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma Conference. Dr Danilov is the Marianne and Gerhard Pinkus Professor of Early Clinical Therapeutics, medical director of the Early Phase Therapeutics Program for the Systems Clinical Trials Office, co-director of the Toni Stephenson Lymphoma Center, and a professor in the Division of Lymphoma in the Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation at City of Hope in Duarte, California.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Danilov highlighted recent advances and controversies in the treatment of select patients with hematologic malignancies. He noted chemotherapy-free regimens that are shifting treatment paradigms in mantle cell lymphoma, preferred and emerging BTK inhibitors for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and the evolution of CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapies for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Dr Danilov concluded by taking a forward glance at future developments like BTK degraders and novel CAR T-cell therapy targets.
