Seamless Navigation of Bispecific Therapies: Optimizing Management and Outpatient Access With a Focus on Coordination.

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have emerged as crucial therapeutic agents for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and most recently, lung cancer. These therapies have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in clinical trials; however, multidisciplinary collaboration is essential to ensure optimal patient outcomes amid the operational complexities associated with BsAb therapy. As BsAbs are being prepared for broader adoption, clinicians and treatment centers must navigate operational challenges, including financial considerations, patient selection, careg

Digital therapeutics from bench to bedside.

As a new therapeutic technique based on digital technology, the commercialization and clinical application of digital therapeutics (DTx) are increasing, and the demand for expansion to new clinical fields is remarkably high. However, the use of DTx as a general medical component is still ambiguous, and this ambiguity may be owing to a lack of consensus on a definition, in addition to insufficiencies in research and development, clinical trials, standardization of regulatory frameworks, and technological maturity. In this study, we conduct an in-depth investigation and analysis of definitions,

Shift in Epidemiology of Cryptococcal Infections in Ottawa with High Mortality in Non-HIV Immunocompromised Patients.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungus that can cause life-threatening infections. While human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive status historically had the highest risk for cryptococcal infection and was associated with high mortality rates, there have been changes in HIV treatment and the epidemiology of other acquired immunodeficiencies, such as hematological malignancies. We conducted a retrospective case series analysis of patients who had cryptococcal infections documented at the Ottawa Hospital from 2005 to 2017. The Ottawa Hospital is a tertiary care hospital and provides complex care

The Immuno-oncology-Induced Cytokine Release Syndrome Patient Diary: A Content-Valid, Patient-Reported Outcome Measure.

INTRODUCTION: Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurs when the immune system reacts excessively to infections or certain immunotherapies, leading to a systemic inflammatory response. The clinical presentation of CRS is highly variable, ranging from mild symptoms, such as fever and fatigue, to severe, life-threatening conditions. Currently, there is no standardized method for collecting patient-reported data on CRS experiences. This study aims to develop a novel patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to capture patients' experience with CRS. METHODS: A comprehensive, multistep evidence-generat
