CAR-PRISM trial reports promising results in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma

​Results of the single-center, phase 2 CAR-PRISM (PRecision Intervention Smoldering Myeloma) clinical trial, the first to investigate Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma, showed that all 20 patients were negative for minimal residual disease (MRD) within two months of treatment and remained MRD-negative after a median of 15.3 months of follow-up, and none experienced high-grade side effects, according to results presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026, held April 17-22, in San Diego, Calif.

Gut microbiome clues may help spot Parkinson’s disease in its earliest phase

Researchers found that a Parkinson’s disease-related gut microbiome pattern appears not only in people with diagnosed Parkinson’s, but also in some non-manifesting GBA1 variant carriers and a subset of healthy individuals. The findings suggest that gut microbiome changes may help flag people who are closer to Parkinson’s disease development, although longitudinal studies are still needed to confirm predictive value.

Why do the deadliest cancers still get less NIH research funding?

Why do the deadliest cancers still get less NIH research funding?

Researchers found that NIH funding for major US cancers does not consistently align with lethality, with highly fatal cancers such as pancreatic cancer and small-cell lung cancer receiving far less funding per estimated death than breast or prostate cancer. The study argues that incidence alone is not enough and that funding decisions should better incorporate mortality, survival, and mortality-to-incidence ratios.

Early myocarditis onset after immunotherapy linked to higher fatality risk

Patients who developed myocarditis within the first month of receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy were more likely to die of myocarditis, and myocarditis-specific fatality was more common in patients who experienced co-occurring myositis and myasthenia gravis, according to results from a study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, held April 17-22.
