Recognised with an EHA Young Abstract award, Hangjie Fu’s study reveals that ellagic acid significantly mitigates liver injury caused by iron overload.

The Phase II CONCEPT trial has demonstrated that an isatuximab-based combination therapy achieves unprecedented rates of minimal residual disease negativity in patients with high-risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

A large European analysis confirms circulating tumour cells (CTCs) as an independent prognostic biomarker in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

A new analysis of early total therapy clinical trials has revealed that up to one-third of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma may achieve long-term survival.
