Journal: Effective treatment of refractory monoclonal gammopathy-associated pure red cell aplasia with isatuximab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 19, 2024 Monoclonal gammopathy-associated pure red cell aplasia (MG-PRCA) is characterized by the absence or pronounced hypoplasia of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow, causing reticulocytopenia and a normocytic, normochromic anaemia in a patient with a monoclonal plasma cell dyscrasia. We report here on the successful treatment of MG-PRCA with isatuximab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone after multiple lines of immunosuppressive and anti-plasma cell-directed treatments.

(Pubmed Central) - Aug 19, 2024 To pinpoint the specific molecular mechanisms driving this IL-6-driven increase in nascent proteins, we used the specific MNK1/2 inhibitor eFT508...Our findings provide clear evidence that IL-6 drives nascent protein synthesis in human TRPV1+ nociceptors primarily via MNK1/2-eIF4E signaling. The work links animal findings to human nociception, creates a framework for additional hDRG signaling experiments, and substantiates the continued development of MNK inhibitors for pain.

After progression of disease (POD) on ipilimumab/nivolumab, followed by POD on cabozantinib, the patient was treated with radiation therapy to metastatic cervical lymphadenopathy to 60 Gy in 15 fractions as well as retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy to 36 Gy in 9 fractions, which was curtailed due to intolerance. This was followed by sequential systemic therapy with a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor and pembrolizumab, which
