Great to see another study w high efficacy of low-dose nivolumab (40mg Q2W; plus lenalidomide) in relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma: 90% ORR (60% CR, 30% PR), promising PFS & saturated PD1 receptor occupancy. Do we really need 240mg Q2W? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @bloodjournals.hematology.org

Happy to share our latest publication

For many in LMICs low-dose PD-1 blockers is the only way to afford this drugs and emergenig evidence suggests interesting things. Are we ready for more rigorous study of this intervention?

Results from the AQUILA trial #ASH24

A few thoughts:
- In absence of figures in uploaded abstracts, the n at risk table in the presentation is going to be important to pay attention to
- How many of such progression events were SLiM?

Our study found that nearly 40% (!) of 12-21 yo females are iron deficient.

But did you know that in addition to many physical symptoms, iron deficiency is associated with multiple mental health issues?
