Release date: July 3, 2024

Expiration date: July 3, 2025

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), an emerging class of novel immunotherapy agents, have great therapeutic potential; however, they also present barriers to care including unique and serious treatment-related toxicities that can preclude their widespread use in the community practice setting. To provide optimal care to patients being treated with BsAbs, clinicians must understand the unique pharmacology and potential clinical and logistical challenges of these agents. Successful administration of BsAbs requires competence and effective collaboration among multidisciplinary providers on the cancer care team.  

Beginning in 2020, the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) initiated research and education focused on the utilization of BsAbs in the community oncology setting. Findings from an ACCC survey illuminated several barriers to using BsAbs in the community setting. Among these, 59% of survey respondents indicated that they have experienced barriers when caring for patients treated with BsAbs. 

Target Audience: 

The target audience for the initiative includes oncologists, oncology advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners, physician assistants), oncology pharmacists, oncology nurses, and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in treating patients with cancer immunotherapies. 

Learning Objectives: 

At the end of this educational activity, participants should be able to: 

  • Address barriers to the awareness, preparedness, adoption and use of BsAbs for the treatment of cancer. 
  • Improve coordination and communication between community hospitals and academic centers to optimize outcomes for patients beings treated with BsAbs. 
  • Review strategies for providing equitable care for underserved patients receiving cancer immunotherapies.
