A major update from ASTCT! New consensus grading criteria refine CRS and ICANS assessments and address emerging toxicities following immune effector cell therapy, supporting standardized toxicity evaluation across clinical trials and practice. ow.ly/Wsig5103RX0

Excited to share our new @BloodPortfolio manuscript comparing CAR-T vs BsAb in R/R FL. In addition to comparing survival, we also studied "time toxicity," or how much time patients spend physically interacting with the healthcare system. #lymsm 🧵 ashpublications.org/bloodadv…

In vivo CAR T: no apheresis, no manufacturing wait, no LD chemo. Investigational LB2501 (CD19/CD20, @LegendBiotech) FIH, EHA 2026: DL2 ORR 6/6, CR 5/6, CRS gr1-2, no ICANS. US IND now cleared. But n=6, 2.3 mo f/u: durability is the whole game. #lymsm #CARTcells

Our study found that patients with baseline coronary artery calcifications (even in those with no cardiac history) had higher NRM following PTCy-based Gvhd prophylaxis and reduced intensity conditioning.
Study found that coronary artery calcification identified during pretransplant evaluation predicted non-relapse mortality in patients receiving PTCy. Among elderly patients without known coronary artery disease, it was associated with inferior survival. ow.ly/p4rP50ZPM6U

The latest ASTCT Consensus Grading for Toxicities after Immune Effector Cell Therapy has been published in Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, providing a standardized framework for grading toxicities associated with immune effector cell therapies. ,The guidance maintains and clarifies grading for CRS and ICANS, introduces modified ICE (M-ICE) for children and patients with developmental delays, and addresses emerging toxicities including hematotoxicity, IEC-HS and non-ICANS neurotoxicities. 📖 Read the full guideline: ow.ly/59na50ZOqrR @ASTCT_Journal

Dexrazoxane shows cardioprotective effects in pediatrics exposed to anthracycline with ongoing benefits over time.

Azer-cel shows promising results in CAR-naive NHLs and CAR-exposed DLBCL, but will this allo-CAR overcome and become the first commercially available allogeneic CAR-T?. Stay tuned. #ASCO2026
#ASCO26 attendees: Join me today at 1:30 pm at E450a as we discuss our results of the phase 1b study using Azer-cel, an allogeneic CD19 CAR-T in R/R NHL and CLL, not previously exposed to CAR-T. @TeamImugene @UMNCancer @UMNews #lymsm

CONGRESS | #ASH25 | PRESENTATION Samer Srour presents preliminary data of a phase I trial evaluating Orca-Q with (n = 18) or without (n = 26) GvHD prophylaxis (tacrolimus) in patients receiving allo-HSCT with 8/8 HLA-matched donors. Removal of pharmacologic GvHD prophylaxis did not increase GvHD rates and may improve infection rates. At 12 months, cumulative incidence of Grade ≥3 #aGvHD was 8.4% in the prophylaxis cohort vs 5.6% in the without prophylaxis cohort; similarly, incidence of moderate–severe #cGvHD was 11.8% and 0%, respectively.

#ASHkudos to Dr. Sanni, one of our fellows at #UMN who presented his research on HgSC disease cardiopulmonary risks and outcomes in inpatient setting. #ASH25
The first time I came to ash in 2023, I always admired the people giving oral presentations. I also wondered if I would ever be one of them. Today that dream came true ❤️ #ASH2025

Very proud to see our ARES study, demonstrating for the 1st time the efficacy of a fecal microbiota product in severe acute GVHD, featured in #ASH25 Newsdaily. More than a decade of rigorous research has now translated into a truly remarkable milestone. ⁦@MaaT_Pharma⁩

CONGRESS | #ASH25 | PRESENTATION Amandeep Salhotra shares results of a phase I trial of allogeneic CD6-CAR Tregs in patients with steroid-dependent or steroid-refractory #cGvHD (N = 6), noting that they can be successfully manufactured and cryopreserved. CD6-CAR Tregs cell infusion was not associated with significant toxicity, including CRS, ICANS, or GvHD flare. Follow our live feed for more updates: loom.ly/TJPbnGM Intended for HCPs only.
