Earlier today the editors of Blood, the journal of the American Society of Hematology selected the top 10 most outstanding manuscripts of 2016. Dr. Peter Martin was the first author in one of the selected abstracts titled ‘Post Ibrutinib outcomes in patients with mantle cell lymphoma‘. (MCL)
Dr. Martin led a team of researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and centers from around the world in a retrospective study of patients with MCL who experienced disease progression while receiving ibrutinib. These researchers found that MCL patients who progressed during treatment with ibrutinib have a poor outcome. As there are no therapies that appear to be uniquely successful in the post-ibrutinib setting this represents an unmet need.
You can read about the full results from their study in the abstract.
Congratulations Dr. Martin!
