In this week’s episode, we review results of a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial demonstrating that targeted inhibition of C1s with the monoclonal antibody sutimlimab is effective and well tolerated in non-transfusion-dependent patients with cold agglutinin disease. We’ll also review a population-based study evaluating the impact of adding either etoposide or autologous stem cell transplantation to CHOP in young and fit patients with peripheral T cell lymphomas. Finally, we’ll review a paper that elucidates a mechanism of lung injury in sickle cell disease. It involves gasdermin-D-dependent production of neutrophil extracellular traps in the liver, which travel intravascularly to the lung, where they promote occlusion of the pulmonary microcirculation.
