Advancements in clinical data and research have shown the immunotherapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies as treatment for hematologic cancers and solid tumors. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Aaron Cumpston, PharmD, pharmacy clinical specialist for bone marrow transplant and Christine Barrett, PharmD, BCOP, medical oncology clinical pharmacy specialist who discuss the challenges of care coordination and therapy and share operational best practices for the delivery of bispecific antibodies in the community setting.
“I think we’re finding these drugs to be highly effective and having high response rates and also very durable response rates in very refractory patients.”—Aaron Cumpston, PharmD, BCOP
“I know that in community practice it can be really difficult, but there is a network of institutions out there that have taken on administering these BiTE therapies and have a lot of experience that can be very helpful for those in community practice.” —Christine Barrett, PharmD, BCOP
