Zepcan walks through what a complete pharmacist-to-pharmacist handoff should include when a patient with AML on a menin inhibitor moves from an academic center to community care, covering dosing history, QTc and laboratory test baselines, and documented counseling.

Zahra Mahmoudjafari noted that while patients with high disease burden, a history of severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurotoxicity, poor performance status, or limited caregiver support were historically considered less suitable for community-based administration, significant progress has been made as community centers develop strong patient selection criteria, outpatient roadmaps, and escalation strategies, often in partnership with academic centers for initial step-up dosing.

Zahra Mahmoudjafari emphasized that treatment sequencing in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) must be highly individualized, taking into account prior BCMA exposure, disease burden, caregiver support, logistical factors, comorbidities, and institutional access to specific therapies such as CAR T-Cell therapy, noting that while a standardized algorithm would be ideal, the complexity of the disease and evolving evidence base make a one-size-fits-all approach impractical.

In this episode, Ali tackles the operational barriers that prevent patients from starting menin inhibitors despite being approved.
