Improved CAR-T cells with TCR-like expression

AWARI CAR-T cells exhibited a higher proportion of naive/stem cell memory T cells, less exhausted phenotype, lower tonic signaling, and reduced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to improved efficacy in killing CD19+ cells.

SARS-CoV2 mRNA vaccines improve immune response in patients with CD20 depletion

49% of patients developed anti-spike IgG antibodies, and 17% showed SARS-CoV2 specific interferon-γ release, indicating some level of immune response, although significantly lower than healthy controls.

Daratumumab combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone improves outcomes in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma.

The study identified genomic drivers associated with early progression and distinct immune changes impacting clinical outcomes, such as depletion of CD38+ NK cells and persistence of T cell exhaustion, which are crucial for understanding treatment resistance.

Third mRNA vaccine dose boosts immunity

50% of patients seroconverted after the third dose, with a significantly higher seroconversion rate (69%) in those who received the third dose more than one year after the last anti-CD20 antibody treatment.

Sotrovimab shows low hospitalization rates

The study found low levels of COVID-19-attributable hospitalizations (1.0%) and deaths (0.3%) among patients treated with sotrovimab, indicating effective management of high-risk patients during the Omicron variant prevalence.

Sotrovimab reduces severe COVID-19 risk in high-risk patients.

The study found low rates of COVID-19-related hospitalizations (2.5%) and all-cause deaths (1.1%) among treated patients, indicating effective prevention of severe disease progression in a high-risk population.

A three-dose COVID-19 vaccination boosts immunity in cancer patients with hematologic malignancies.

57% of seronegative patients achieved seroconversion after three doses, with a durable immune response at 6 months. A fourth dose led to adequate immune boost in 67% of severely immunocompromised patients.

Vaccination with Covishield boosts antibody response in health care workers

79.3% of participants showed seropositivity after the first dose, with significantly higher responder rates in Covishield recipients compared to Covaxin.

Bamlanivimab reduces COVID-19 hospitalizations in high-risk patients

Among treated patients, only 1.9% required hospitalization or emergency department visits within 30 days, compared to 12% of untreated patients, indicating an 82% reduction in risk for those receiving the treatment.

Study published: 2021-04-10

COVID-19 vaccine does not affect anti-PF4 antibodies

The study concluded that COVID-19 vaccination does not affect the production of anti-PF4 antibodies or their ability to cause platelet aggregation in aPL-positive patients, indicating a lack of increased risk for thrombosis related to vaccination in this population.

Antivirals for non-hospitalised COVID-19

The study found that 15% of identified high-risk patients received treatment, with specific groups showing higher treatment rates, such as those with Down syndrome (67%) and HIV/AIDS (63%).

Study published: 2022-03-10

Outpatient treatments reduce COVID-19 hospitalizations

The study found that CCP (OR=0.69), anti-Spike mAbs (OR=0.32), and small molecule antivirals (OR=0.57) significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization among treated outpatients, with varying efficacy based on the specific treatment and timing.
