New Drug Updates in Hematologic Malignancies & Establishing a Survivorship Program in a Malignant Hematology and Cellular Therapy Practice
Kirollos S. Hanna, PharmD, BCPS, BCOP, FACCC, of Minnesota Oncology and the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, discusses notable FDA approvals and expansions in the BTKi space and antibody drug conjugates, aimed at B-cell cancers, including DLBCL, and the BRUIN study, which looked at the promising use of pirtobrutinib in patients with CLL and SLL. He also reviewed some of the challenges of setting up a survivorship program for patients with hematologic malignancies. He describes the crucial role advanced practice providers can play in determining the optimal timing for survivorship care plans and referral to survivorship care, as well as developing long-term follow-up strategies (Abstract JL1130C).

New Drug Updates in Hematologic Malignancies, Development of an Advanced Practice Provider-Led Virtual Anemia Consult Clinic, Indirect Treatment Comparison of Momelotinib vs Pacritinib Safety and Anemia Outcomes in Patients With Myelofibrosis
Susan Woodward, MSN, APRN, AOCNP®, of Moffitt Cancer Center, discusses bispecific antibodies that were approved in the past year as well as other drugs for FL, MM, and MF, and the new set of toxicities these agents bring with them. She also reviewed a poster that showed a model developed by APs to expedite the evaluation and management of anemia in patients with cancer, improving health-care access for patients coping with anemia (Abstract JL1112C). Another poster she reviewed compared safety outcomes between momelotinib and fedratinib separately in JAK inhibitor–experienced and JAK inhibitor–naïve patients with myelofibrosis (Abstract JL1109EH).

New Drug Updates in Hematologic Malignancies & Patient Perspectives on Returning to Cancer Care in a PostCOVID Environment
Ann McNeill, RN, NP, MSN, APN, of the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, discusses the advancements in ADC, BTKi, and bispecific antibodies drugs for R/R MM, lymphoma and AML. She also reviews the challenges faced by patients with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insights from these patients can help advanced practitioners better understand the hurdles to accessing cancer care in the post-pandemic healthcare environment in which inequalities and vulnerabilities remain (Abstract JL1112P).
