Asciminib, a New Drug for Treating R/R CML
[email protected]_84

The investigational drug asciminib (being developed by Novartis) may become the new kid on the block for the treatment of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CMP-CP) for patients who have relapsed on or are refractory to at least two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

New results from the ASCEMBL study (NCT03106779) show that patients who received asciminib, which works differently from currently approved therapies for CML-CP, achieved better responses compared to bosutinib (Bosulif) as third-line therapy.

“The ASCEMBL study opens a new chapter for CML, proving comparatively superior efficacy and excellent safety for a new class of ABL inhibitors,” co-investigator Michael J. Mauro, MD, from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York City, told Medscape Medical News.

The trial was presented as a late-breaking abstract at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2020 virtual meeting.

Asciminib is a first-of-a-kind STAMP (Specifically Targeting the ABL Myristoyl Pocket) inhibitor

Just an hour after the first coronavirus vaccines arrived at Ochsner Health’s Jefferson Highway main campus, they sat in glass vials in front of pharmacist Mona Moghareh.

Cameras livestreamed the moment. A small crowd and the Gov. John Bel Edwards looked on. 

“It’s an honor,” said Moghareh, one of Ochsner’s inpatient pharmacists who works on the hospital floor. She’d been waiting for this day for a long time. 

“Is that considered a small needle for a vaccine?” Edwards asked.

U.K. Eases Restrictions on Blood Donation by Gay and Bisexual Men
[email protected]_84

The British government said it would ease restrictions on blood donations by gay and bisexual men beginning next summer in a shift lauded by LGBT activists as a significant step forward in promoting equality and reducing the stigma that some men say they still face because of their sexuality.

Under the new guidelines, people with a single sexual partner who have been with that partner for more than three months can donate blood, regardless of their gender, their partner’s gender or their sexual orientation. The current rules call for a three-month wait after a man has had sex with another man.

“This is a positive step and recognizes individuals for the actions they take, rather than their sexual preference,” said U.K. Health Secretary

Matt Hancock.

He said the change would safely expand the pool of available blood donors.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -A New York City intensive care unit nurse on Monday became the first person in the United States to receive a coronavirus vaccine, calling it a sign that “healing is coming,” as the nation’s COVID-19 death toll crossed a staggering 300,000 lives lost.

Sandra Lindsay, who has treated some of the sickest COVID-19 patients for months, was inoculated at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in the New York City borough of Queens, an early epicenter of the country’s coronavirus outbreak, receiving applause on a livestream with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

“It didn’t feel any different from taking any other vaccine,” Lindsay said. “I feel hopeful today, relieved. I feel like healing is coming. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our history.

Italian boy may have had the coronavirus in December last year, three months before the country’s first official case
[email protected]_84

Researchers around the world are looking at blood samples taken in late 2019 to see if there are any early signs of the coronavirus. The latest example is of researchers looking at old blood samples taken from children in Milan. One boy’s blood sample tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and researchers say that it is similar to the strain that was found in Wuhan, according to the study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases.

The authors report that the sample was taken in early Dec. 2019, about three months earlier than the first official reported coronavirus case in Italy. The segment of viral genetic material was identified as matching the Wuhan and other strains of the coronavirus, although they could not identify it further as to which exact strain it was.

The child was not asymptomatic, which is why they took blood samples from him on
