RESUMO
The treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) has significantly evolved in recent years. Targeted therapy with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors has emerged as an effective chemotherapy-free option for patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. Undetectable minimal residual disease after the end of treatment is emerging as an important predictor of progression-free and overall survival for patients treated with fixed-duration BCL-2 inhibitor-based treatment. These NCCN Guidelines Insights discuss the updates to the NCCN Guidelines for CLL/SLL specific to the use of chemotherapy-free treatment options for patients with treatment-naïve and relapsed/refractory disease.

The pace of innovation of multiple myeloma therapy in recent years is remarkable with the advent of monoclonal antibodies and the approval of novel agents with new mechanisms of action. Emerging therapies are on the horizon for clinical approval with significant implications in extending patient survival and advancing closer to the goal of a cure, especially in areas of immunotherapy such as chimeric antigen receptor T cells, bispecific T cell engager antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, newer generations of monoclonal antibodies, and small molecule inhibitor and modulators. This review provides an update of current myeloma therapeutics in active preclinical and early clinical development and discusses the mechanism of action of several classes of novel therapeutics.

The second annual Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) Myeloma Intergroup Workshop on Minimal Residual Disease and Immune Profiling was convened on December 7, 2017, at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting. During this workshop, investigators from around the world presented their latest research involving assessment of minimal residual disease (MRD) and immune profiling (IP) in myeloma. This document summarizes the workshop presentations as well as relevant ASH abstracts and focuses on the regulatory issues involved in the integration of MRD and IP assessment in clinical trial design and practice.
