Sad to hear about the passing of prof Ton Hagenbeek of the Academic Medical Center, Univ of Amsterdam. Ton was a world class expert on lymphoma and made many contributions to advance the field. His well balanced views were respected by colleagues from around the world. RIP

#ASCO20 And very impressive interim analysis data from ZUMA-5 (axi-cel CART) in R/R FL or MZL: Of 87 pts evaluable for efficacy, ORR was 94% (79% complete response [CR] rate). Pts with FL (n = 80) had an ORR of 95% (80% CR rate).

CAR-T therapies should be made by academic medical centers -

Impressive results in relapsed HL using brentuximab vedotin plus nivolumab. A randomized trial comparing this regimen with standard BV is enrolling patients at #ASH17
