About this episode

In this week's episode, we’ll learn more about mechanisms of primary resistance to BCMA-targeted bispecific T-cell engagers in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, the effects of emapalumab therapy on outcomes in patients with pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who receive stem cell transplants, and a cell death process that may help account for increased thromboembolic risk in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy.
