In this week's episode, Blood editor Laurie Sehn interviews Drs. Efstathios Kastritis and Lucia Chen on their latest articles published in Blood. Dr. Kastritis shares insights and results from the final survival analysis of the ANDROMEDA trial, which determined that adding daratumumab to cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone improves hematologic responses and overall survival in newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis.  Dr. Chen elaborates on the key benefits of Ikaros degradation for reducing T-cell dysfunction in MM patients: Ikaros degradation by mezigdomide enhances anti–B-cell maturation antigen CAR-T and bispecific TCE therapy efficacy in vitro and in vivo.
