With a recently approved treatment for high-risk SMM, knowing how to differentiate and manage SMM compared with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) has never been more crucial. Professors Lipe and Lonial review the case of a 58-year-old man in good health with no anemia or other health concerns, whose annual checkup reveals an isolated finding of elevated total protein. As they follow this patient’s journey, they discuss best practice in diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of SMM. Finally, they consider the factors affecting decision-making in the context of data from early intervention trials that aimed to either delay progression to active MM or, potentially, to cure SMM. 


Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the distinction between MGUS, SMM and MM 
  • Describe the key tests required for a basic workup of a case of suspected clonal plasma cell disorder 
  • Explain how patients with SMM may be risk-stratified 
  • Evaluate the factors that influence the decision to treat or monitor a case of high-risk SMM

In this HemeTalks episode, Drs. Rahma Warsame and Jason Chen discuss how to interpret abnormal SPEP results, evaluate patients with suspected MGUS, and differentiate between benign and concerning findings. Using real-world cases, they highlight key clinical decision points, follow-up strategies, and how to communicate results with patients effectively. Tune in for expert guidance on navigating this diagnostic gray zone in hematology.

Learning Objectives:  

  1. Recognize the clinical significance of MGUS and how it is detected 
  2. Understand how to interpret MGUS lab testing results in the context of monoclonal gammopathies 
  3. Identify when to refer, monitor, or investigate further in patients with MGUS

Clinical Pearls:

  1. MGUS is a premalignant condition that is a diagnosis of exclusion. It is defined by the presence of a serum monoclonal protein (M-protein) less than 3 g/dL, bone marrow plasma cellsl <10%, and no end organ damage (CRAB) 
  2. MGUS can progress to multiple myeloma, AL amyloidosis, Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia 
  3. Confirmatory tests for MGUS include: SPEP, FLC assay, and bone marrow (only if high risk features are present.

Ronak Mistry and Jori May discuss the challenging decision of when to test for inherited thrombophilias and how results inform anticoagulation management. The use of thrombophilia testing has long been debated in the hematology community, due in large part to limited data and the complexity of estimating recurrent thrombotic risk. Through the case of a 36-year-old woman with a proximal deep vein thrombosis 4 weeks after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, we explore the importance of defining provoking factors, evaluating bleeding risk, exploring previous thrombotic challenges and family history, and ultimately whether thrombophilia testing may be helpful to determine the need for long term anticoagulation.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Accurately interpret the results of laboratory tests for inherited hypercoagulable disorders.
  2. Identify appropriate clinical situations where testing for inherited hypercoagulable disorders can be considered.
  3. Discuss how inherited thrombophilias influence decisions on the duration of anticoagulation in VTE without major transient risk factors.


Clinical Pearls:

  1. Assay selection, appropriate timing of testing, and accurate interpretation of results are foundational to the use of thrombophilia testing in the care of patients with VTE.
  2. The use of thrombophilia testing to guide the duration of anticoagulation in patients with VTE without major transient risk factors is debated and therefore must be individualized to every patient.

Although common among individuals of African, Middle Eastern, and North African ancestry, the Duffy null phenotype is often misunderstood, leading to unnecessary procedures, inappropriate dose modifications, and exclusion from potentially life-saving therapies.

Through real-world examples, we discuss how standard ANC cutoffs can disadvantage Duffy null patients, the implications for chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs, and clozapine, and how recent updates to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grading criteria intersect with this biology. The episode also highlights ongoing efforts, supported by ASH and the Doris Duke Foundation, to establish adult and pediatric reference intervals and promote more inclusive clinical trial practices.

This discussion will equip hematologists and oncologists with practical insights to better interpret neutrophil counts, advocate for equitable trial access, and optimize treatment decisions for patients with the Duffy null phenotype.


Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the ANC by Duffy Status Project: Describe the rationale behind reconsidering absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reference ranges based on Duffy status and its implications for patient care.

2. Apply Clinical Trial Recommendations: Identify key recommendations for including patients with Duffy-null associated neutrophil counts in clinical trials and explain why these changes are important for equitable trial design.

3. Utilize Educational Resources: Recognize the educational tools and resources available to support clinicians, researchers, and institutions in adopting updated ANC reference ranges and practices.


Clinical Pearls:

1. The Duffy null phenotype is found in 10% of people United States and results in an absolute neutrophil count lower limit of normal of ~1200/uL.

2. Clinical trials do not account for this variation which results in disparities in eligibility, systemic anticancer therapy administration, and adverse event reporting.

3. The American Society of Hematology strongly recommends obtaining Duffy status in all clinical trials

Caimi and Sdrimas for a focused discussion on the coordination of CAR-T therapy between academic and community practices. As CAR-T use expands, ensuring seamless communication and shared responsibilities between care teams is essential. Using a real-world patient case, this episode explores how to navigate logistics, manage toxicities, and support patients in both settings—delivering collaborative, high-quality care. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the shared roles and responsibilities in CAR-T patient management across care settings 

2. Identify communication strategies that support safe and effective care coordination 

3. Explore real-world barriers and solutions to bridging academic and community practice collaboration


Clinical Pearls:

  1. Early and Appropriate Referral is Crucial: 
    • Community oncologists should refer patients early in the disease course. Being ineligible for transplant does not mean a patient is ineligible for CAR-T. Timely referral (i.e. before any other therapy is started unless clinically needed) allows for proper evaluation, manufacturing logistics, and bridging therapy if needed. 
  2. Clear, Bidirectional Communication is Key to Safe Co-management: Successful shared care relies on:
    •  Identified point persons at both the academic and community sites (often including nurse coordinators).
    • Timely updates about treatment timelines and toxicity events. Ideally, same day if a toxicity occurs. Weekly updates for treatment timelines.
    • Use of standardized handoff templates and direct lines of communication to ensure continuity, safety, and efficiency in post-infusion      monitoring.
  3. Empowering the Community Practice Enhances Access and Outcomes:
    • Academic CAR-T centers, hematologists, nursing staff, and CAR-T coordinators educating community providers on late toxicities, infection risks, and long-term monitoring enables safe local care.
