Cost to Medicare from bone modifying agent overuse in castration-sensitive prostate cancer. (3rd Floor, Back Bay Hall; Poster Bd #: A7) - Oct 13, 2023 - Abstract #ASCOQC2023ASCO_QC_90; Our sensitivity analyses suggest we may overestimate costs if denosumab dosing frequency is now lower than during our observation period (eg., if more providers now use 3-month dosing), and we may underestimate costs if patients now experience CSPC for a longer duration (a plausible consequence from the introduction of ARSi therapy for CSPC in the post-LATITUDE era). Avoidable costs and toxicity may be reduced by greater adherence to guideline-concordant use of BMAs.

Review, Journal, Minimal residual disease: Survival outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory or MRD-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with blinatumomab. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 12, 2023 The median RFS and OS from RWE studies in adults with R/R B-cell ALL were numerically longer than the median RFS and OS from pivotal studies (MT-103-211, TOWER, and ALCANTARA); however, this trend was not observed in pediatric patients with R/R B-cell ALL. In conclusion, this analysis identified first salvage adults with Ph-negative R/R B-cell ALL as particularly well-suited for treatment with blinatumomab since survival outcomes from retrospective analyses reported in this patient subgroup were numerically better compared with those from pivotal studies without additional safety signals.
