Nashville, Tenn.-based Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center hematologists have developed guidelines for implementing outpatient immunotherapy treatment of CAR-T and bispecific antibodies.

The guidelines were published Dec. 4 in JCO Oncology Practice

BsAb and CAR-T elicit strong immune responses and “typically require inpatient monitoring, which can be an economic and logistical burden for both patients and hospitals,” according to a Jan. 12 news release from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. 

The recommendations offer strategies to optimize clinical infrastructure and workflows, while emphasizing the importance of patient and caregiver education surrounding remote monitoring.
