A spectrum of ALK-positive histiocytosis, and metabolites as biomarkers for GvHD diagnosis and risk assignment

On today’s podcast, we’ll explore the largest case series to date describing ALK-positive histiocytosis. The authors provide new insights on the disease and its treatment with ALK inhibitors, which can provide durable responses. We’ll also review with a study that pinpoints alpha-ketoglutaric acid as consistently elevated in pediatric chronic GvHD, and finds unique metabolomic patterns that appear to distinguish different GvHD subtypes.
