New multi center phase 2 study in @bloodadvances.bsky.social looking again at the role of eltrombopag in pediatric #SAA - overall underwhelming in the treatment naive setting. Possible role in relapsed/refractory though very low numbers ashpublications.org/bloodadvance...

In a new editorial, Dr. Mary Frances McMullin explores the scientific foundations and clinical implications of a study on variant EPO and erythrocytosis. Read the editorial: nej.md/3YmAnNU @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social #MedSky #Hematology

Both clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and cancer are more common with age. When they coexist in the same patient, CHIP cells may migrate to the tumor and have an adverse effect on overall survival. Full study results: nej.md/3EnzMVu #MedSky #Hematology
