The panelist discusses how for managing patients with R/R multiple myeloma, community clinicians should focus on personalized treatment approaches, incorporating novel therapies such as CAR T-cell therapy while carefully monitoring for and managing toxicities through established protocols. Key considerations include implementing systematic toxicity management strategies, maintaining long-term patient monitoring, and staying informed about emerging therapeutic options. The field is evolving with promising novel agents and combination approaches being investigated, particularly for patients who progress after initial treatments.

Panelists discuss the FDA approval of subcutaneous nivolumab based on the CheckMate-67T trial findings, highlighting its potential to improve patient convenience and treatment adherence while maintaining efficacy in the treatment of melanoma.

Thomas W. LeBlanc, MD, MA, discusses key clinical pearls for community oncologists in the treatment of anemia in patients with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS), including the importance of early and accurate diagnosis, considering newer therapies like luspatercept, monitoring hemoglobin levels, and incorporating patient-reported outcomes to tailor individualized treatment plans for better outcomes.

James J. Harding, MD, discusses the remaining unmet needs in the first-line (1L) treatment space for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) and how 1L immunotherapy (IO) combinations like nivolumab plus ipilimumab (NIVO + IPI) may help address these gaps, while highlighting unanswered questions and offering clinical pearls for managing uHCC.

The panelist discusses how real-world evidence for CAR T in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma shows promising efficacy but with some differences from clinical trials. Ide-cel demonstrates effectiveness in patients with prior BCMA exposure, though responses may be impacted. Compared with standard of care (SOC), both ide-cel and cilta-cel show superior outcomes in terms of response rates and progression-free survival, though long-term data are still emerging in real-world settings.

The panelist discusses how the KarMMa-3 trial data demonstrated the superior efficacy of ide-cel vs standard regimens in triple-class exposed R/R MM, with a median progression-free survival of 13.3 vs 4.4 months and an overall response rate of 71% vs 42%. The favorable safety profile and significant survival benefit support ide-cel as a preferred option for third-line and greater treatment, particularly in patients with good performance status who can tolerate bridging therapy.

Thomas W. LeBlanc, MD, MA, discusses how treatment regimens for low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) significantly impact health-related quality of life (HRQOL), with data from the COMMANDS study (Oliva et al, ASH 2024, Abstract 3216) highlighting the correlation between HRQOL and clinical end points, and explore how incorporating HRQOL data into clinical decision-making can guide more patient-centered treatment choices in community settings.

Panelists discuss how the IMROZ trial demonstrated improved outcomes with quadruplet therapy combining daratumumab, lenalidomide, melphalan, and prednisone in patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), highlighting its potential as a new treatment standard.

Evan Y. Yu, MD, discusses how the presentation of a patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) involves evaluating factors such as disease progression despite androgen deprivation therapy, symptoms, prior treatments, and performance status to guide the selection of appropriate therapeutic strategies for managing this advanced disease state.

Evan Y. Yu, MD, discusses how adding chemotherapy to a doublet regimen for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer may be considered on an as-needed basis, particularly for patients with high disease burden or rapid progression, while carefully weighing the potential benefits and risks of intensifying therapy.

James J. Harding, MD, discusses how the initial findings from CheckMate 9DW inform the role of nivolumab plus ipilimumab (NIVO + IPI) in the first-line (1L) treatment landscape for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC), considering factors such as efficacy, safety, and patient characteristics (eg, age) when selecting between first-line systemic immunotherapy (IO) regimens.

The panelist discusses how the treatment landscape for early-stage relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) has evolved significantly with CAR T-cell therapies (idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel [ide-cel, cilta-cel]) and novel drug combinations. Treatment selection now considers prior therapies, patient characteristics, and response duration. For third-line chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T after no prior CAR T use, cilta-cel shows favorable efficacy data with deeper, more durable responses than ide-cel, though both are viable options.
