I have been fielding a lot of calls from my #medonc colleagues around availability of #microbiome modulating studies for #kidneycancer at City of Hope (in particular, #CBM588). The following are the two studies we have enrolling currently (limited slots remaining): 1.

This is great! Kudos Ahmad Abuhelwa Ethan Basch et al on fascinating myeloma work. When comparing PFS & OS in #MMsm RCTs stratified by PROs, the patients with worse baseline physical fxn benefit the most from CD38 mAb inclusion. I often say #lessismore in myeloma - not here!

This may be the most discussed abstract ASCO. Much talk about ivermectin as treatment for cancer, esp on social media. But what are the data? To my knowledge, there are no actual clinical trial data - until now. The New York Times The Wall Street Journal FORTUNE OncoAlert LARVOL

That's the world's literature on ivermectin in advanced cancer. 8 pts with TNBC getting ICI + ivermectin, 1 response (same rate as ICI alone, in other trials), avg PFS of 2.5 m. So, at present, there is no evidence for meaningful clinical activity of ivermectin in cancer.

Excellent work in Leukemia Journal by Arwa Bohra (she/her) Shaji Kumar Vincent Rajkumar Mayo Myeloma: For myeloma #MMsm, 5% CPCs = PCL. But manual smears not always done or reliable. On PB flow, 1.16% CPCs ≈ 5% by PB smear. % CPCs exist on continuum (any are bad), but nice to have cutoff!

My top 5 picks for plasma cell disorders abstracts at #ASCO25 #mmsm in no order of preference: 1) 7505: Trispecific targeting BCMA/GPRC5D, this is by the far the most disruptive advance in early development! 2) 7507: Are we curing RRMM with BCMA CART? 3) 7508: Next Gen BCMA CART
