Panelists discuss exciting updates on Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors from the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, highlighting emerging data that may refine their use in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), particularly in optimizing treatment duration and sequencing to improve patient outcomes.

Panelists discuss how patient-reported outcomes and real-world evidence influence clinical decision-making when selecting Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

Panelist discusses how HS Centers of Excellence integrating multidisciplinary care, personalized treatments, comprehensive tracking, and holistic patient support strategies can significantly improve HS patient outcomes through coordinated, comprehensive care approaches.

Panelists discuss how increasing insurance step edit requirements for high-dose IV iron formulations have created barriers to optimal patient care, requiring providers to implement strategic prior authorization processes and develop documentation protocols to demonstrate medical necessity while advocating for appropriate patient access to these medications.

Panelists discuss how IV iron formulations requiring fewer infusion visits tend to have better adherence rates, while the ongoing nursing shortage has created additional challenges in scheduling and administering IV iron treatments, leading clinicians to favor products that can achieve iron repletion in fewer sessions.

Panelists discuss how biosimilar adoption requires multifaceted organizational readiness, involving strategic infrastructure reconfiguration, comprehensive stakeholder education, rigorous clinical and economic evaluation frameworks, and adaptable operational processes to ensure seamless integration and optimization of health care delivery.

Panelists discuss how private label agreements facilitate biosimilar market entry by allowing manufacturers to collaborate on branding, distribution, and market access, ultimately expanding treatment options and potentially reducing health care costs.

Panelists share their final thoughts on bispecific therapies in B-cell lymphomas based on insights from the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024.

Panelists discuss the treatment- and patient-specific factors considered when determining induction therapy for treatment-naive patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), including the decision between aggressive and less aggressive approaches, and how prior therapy exposure influences subsequent treatment sequencing for MCL.

Panelist discusses how HS Centers of Excellence demonstrate potential for enhanced health care delivery through coordinated, specialized care approaches, with managed care organizations driving adoption through strategic incentives and collaborative frameworks.

Panelists discuss key gaps in communication between academic and community centers regarding the use of bispecifics and strategies to bridge them as well as best practices for ensuring a smooth transition of care when patients move between settings.
