A study found omitting a course of antibiotic prophylaxis was non-inferior to the routinely administering antibiotics in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Three different doses of Niktimvo all had high rates of response among patients with recurrent or refractory graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

The retrospective analysis found Black patients were more likely to develop severe graft versus host disease (GVHD) and have a higher risk of nonrelapse mortality than White patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

For patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), a subsequent diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension substantially increases utilization of healthcare resources as well as costs.

The decision comes after the FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee provided a unanimous vote recommending approval. Carvykti is now available to treat patients after just one prior line of therapy.

The chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART-T) therapy is now approved to treat patients with multiple myeloma after two prior lines of therapy.

The report from the American Medical Association evaluates health insurer market share at the metropolitan statistical area level and national level.

A simulation study estimated the impact of biosimilar substitution on total cost of care and provider financial performance in the final performance period of the Oncology Care Model.

A subgroup analysis of real-world patient survey data found Black/African American patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis had improved disease control, symptoms and treatment satisfaction on Dupixent.

Results of a phase 3, 52-week study showed a higher dose of Dupixent (dupilumab) reduced disease severity and improved signs and symptoms.

Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) are more likely than children without AD to react to a patch test and should be referred to a specialist for evaluation.

Two posters presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress found use of Dupixent improved lung function by 12 weeks with sustained responses.

Findings presented at the European Respiratory Society found that using Dupixent to treat acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reduced duration of systemic corticosteroid days.

Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and caregivers of children with AD highlighted strategies that they felt would manage AD-related mental health burden.

A post hoc analysis of two phase 3 trials identified that as many as 95% of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) had type 2 inflammatory signatures depending on the definition of inflammation used.

In an interview with MHE, Paul Hahn, M.D., Ph.D., vitreoretinal surgeon at NJRetina, talked about the latest geographic atrophy treatments, pegcetacoplan and avacincaptad pegol, from a coverage and healthcare resource utilization standpoint, as both will potentially be available for the chronic disease that previously had no treatments.

Paul Hahn, M.D., Ph.D., vitreoretinal surgeon at NJRetina, chatted with MHE about the latest geographic atrophy treatments and shared key takeaways found from clinical trials examining them. Hahn presented on macular degeneration today at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting in Seattle.

Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with a plant-rich diet had less symptom burden compared with patients with MS who had an elevated intake of red meat and processed meat.

Sandoz will now launch both high-concentration and low-concentration versions of Hyrimoz (adalimumab-adaz) in July.

Certain biomarkers identified by these devices can be used to identify survivors of trauma who need further evaluation.

Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, has contracted with Pear Therapeutics for members in 24 counties to participate in an outpatient program for stimulant use disorder.

Most (91%) of the patients were seen by gastroenterologists. Those seen by allergists were more likely to have comorbid atopic conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis.

Patients with severe asthma with or without coexisting chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps (CRSwNP) experienced continued improvements in exacerbations and lung function in an extension study.

Patients with eosinophilic esophagitis experience a range of symptoms that can vary by age, which may contribute to younger patients experiencing a delay in diagnosis, according to a poster presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Annual Scientific Meeting.

Adherence to follow-up examinations is crucial for early identification of recurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

Despite differing characteristics, patients have similar responses to treatment regardless of when they were diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps can be a burden for patients, but Dupixent was able to successfully reduce the number of days with severe symptoms.

A real-world study of children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China found Dupixent can reduce symptoms and improve pruritus. Traditional therapies had little effect, according to the researchers.

A sizable majority (69%) of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) patients only had one food trigger.
