A New Era in Multiple Myeloma Treatment: Isatuximab with VRd Improves Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Patients

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of blood cancer originating in the plasma cells of the bone marrow, leading to an overproduction of abnormal plasma cells. This accumulation disrupts normal blood cell production and results in a range of complications, such as bone pain, anemia, kidney issues, and increased infection risk. Historically, treatment options for …

GRANITE Immunotherapy Offers Hope for MSS Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Improving Progression-Free Survival with Neoantigen-Directed Therapy

Immunotherapy has made significant strides in cancer treatment, but microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has long posed a challenge due to its resistance to immune-based therapies. However, promising results from a recent phase 2/3 trial have shown that the individualized neoantigen-directed immunotherapy, GRANITE, may change the outlook for patients with MSS mCRC. This innovative therapy, combined …
