In this week's episode, we discuss results from the international phase 2 CAPTIVATE study showing that in patients with treatment-naive CLL, fixed-dose ibrutinib plus venetoclax yields deep and durable responses and promising progression-free survival. We’ll also explore data that show that aryl hydrocarbon receptor is a critical inflammation checkpoint in the lung epithelium—a finding that may have therapeutic implications for idiopathic pneumonia syndrome. Lastly, we’ll review new insights into the role of von Willebrand Factor propeptide in facilitating multimer formation, shedding light on a potential novel treatment approach for type 2a von Willebrand disease.
