From Controversies to Consensus in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: Developing IPIG Guidelines
This program is supported by International PNH Interest Group.
Friday, December 11, 2026
7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Central time
MCCNO - R02-R05Although significant progress has been achieved in the treatment of PNH, controversies remain regarding its diagnosis and management. To address these gaps, the International PNH Interest Group (IPIG) conducted a modified Delphi process to develop patient-focused consensus recommendations from an international panel of experts. In this Friday Satellite Symposium, we will address key issues from the IPIG Delphi recommendation, from disease definition to patient management.
PNH management has entered a complex era in which multiple complement inhibitor therapies — targeting both C5 and proximal complement components — are available. The proliferation of therapeutic options has amplified, rather than resolved, the need for clear clinical guidance.- How to classify PNH disease phenotypes in ways that are clinically actionable, particularly for patients with small or incidentally detected clones
- When and how to adjust anticoagulation in patients achieving effective complement inhibition, distinguishing primary from secondary prevention contexts
- How to define and grade breakthrough hemolysis and extravascular hemolysis, especially as proximal complement inhibition shifts the pattern of hemolytic breakthrough
Rather than presenting a single authoritative voice, the symposium deploys expert faculty to present competing positions on the most consequential unresolved questions in PNH — grounded in seven real-world clinical cases spanning disease definition, thrombosis management, and hemolysis classification.

Friday, December 11, 2026
7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Central time
MCCNO - 208-210The MDS Foundation’s 2026 Friday Satellite Symposium will address key clinical challenges in the management of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), overlapping syndromes, and related disorders, with a focus on translating emerging scientific and clinical data into practical treatment strategies and real-world decision-making.
MDS exists within a broader continuum of hematologic conditions that includes clonal hematopoiesis (CH/CHIP), idiopathic cytopenias of undetermined significance (ICUS), clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS), CMML, MDS/MPN overlap syndromes, and progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Despite advances in molecular characterization, disease classification, and therapeutic options, significant gaps remain in awareness, diagnosis, and management across this continuum, often resulting in delayed diagnosis and missed opportunities for early intervention.
The symposium will examine ongoing challenges in treatment sequencing, molecular testing, and integration of new therapies into clinical practice. Sessions will address pre-MDS states, lower-risk and higher-risk MDS management, overlap syndromes, and the evolving relationship between MDS and AML. Through expert presentations, panel discussions, debates, and interactive case-based sessions, the program aims to provide clinicians with practical strategies to improve longitudinal patient care and outcomes across the evolving MDS disease continuum.

Cases and Conversations™: Endothelial Injury, Complement, and TA-TMA After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant
This program is supported by Omeros Corporation and Gamida Cell.
Friday, December 11, 2026
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation remains the only curative therapy for many patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies and severe non-malignant hematologic disorders, yet two of the highest-impact clinical decisions in the transplant pathway have been fundamentally reshaped within the past 12 months. The December 2025 approval of a nicotinamide-expanded cord blood platform for severe aplastic anemia, following its 2023 approval in hematologic malignancies, has expanded the donor hierarchy into non-malignant disease. The approval of narsoplimab, a first-in-class MASP-2 inhibitor for transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy, has introduced on-label therapy into a clinical space previously defined entirely by off-label management. This Cases and Conversations satellite symposium uses sequential patient cases and moderated faculty panel discussions to examine graft platform selection across malignant and non-malignant indications and the recognition, risk stratification, and mechanism-directed management of transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy across the post-transplant continuum.
