Accelerated synthesis of immunomodulatory imide drugs and their derivatives via continuous flow chemistry. (PubMed, Commun Chem)
Herein, we report the synthesis of lenalidomide (63% overall yield) and pomalidomide (62% overall yield) using an integrated continuous flow platform with residence times of 42 minutes and 52 minutes, respectively. The products are obtained without the need for column chromatography, and both immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) can be accessed from a common intermediate through our developed route. Furthermore, we explore the synthesis of CRBN ligand-linkers under continuous flow, affording a series of derivatives with diverse properties in yields exceeding 90%.

Neutrophil extracellular trap-related genes in PTCL: identification, prognosis and drug interaction prediction via bioinformatics-machine learning. (PubMed, Hematology)
Potential therapeutic agents (e.g. capivasertib, lenalidomide) were predicted, and lenalidomide may represent a feasible initial treatment option for PTCL, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 40.0% and a maximum survival duration exceeding 50 months. NET-RGs play crucial roles in diagnosis, prognosis, and TME regulation, and lenalidomide, a putative TNF-targeting agent, may represent a feasible initial treatment option in PTCL.

CSF-1R inhibition and lenalidomide synergize to promote myeloma control after autologous stem cell transplantation. (PubMed, Blood)
CSF-1R blockade depleted these immunosuppressive macrophages, which correlated with decreased expression of inhibitory receptors and enhanced expression of activation markers in Tphex. Given the FDA approval of axatilimab for chronic GVHD, combining CSF-1R blockade with lenalidomide maintenance represents a readily testable strategy to improve progression-free survival after ASCT.

Case Report: Targeted interleukin-6 blockade by siltuximab for cytokine release syndrome control and infection limitation in thirteen patients treated with bi-specific T-cell engagers. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
This approach was associated with only three grade 1-2 infections, indicating a favorable safety profile. These preliminary results support the design of a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the feasibility of home-based BiTE administration, integrating point-of-care testing, a digital health platform, and 24/7 remote monitoring via a dedicated call center, within a comprehensive medico-economic framework.

A comprehensive analysis of common cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma: from basic research to clinical applications. (PubMed, Pathology)
Among patients receiving bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) induction therapy, those with cytogenetic abnormalities showed significantly lower deep response rates (complete response + very good partial response). Furthermore, RB1 deletion or D13S319 deletion combined with other high-risk indicators further shortened PFS. These findings indicate that integrating expanded cytogenetic markers optimises MM risk stratification and provides a basis for individualised treatment strategies.

Long-Term Survival with Daratumumab, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Transplant-Ineligible Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients-A Survey from Two Italian Centers. (PubMed, Diseases)
This study confirms the efficacy of the D-Rd combination as first-line therapy for TIE-NDMM patients, suggesting that achieving at least a PR-and particularly a VGPR-may represent a strong predictor of long-term remission and survival, even in the era of new combinations based on the use of quadruplets.
