    Episode 383: Pharmacology 101: Bispecific Antibodies
    Oct 3 2025
    “I think that this is an area that is exploding. Working with drug development, I see new agents all the time, with unique targets I’ve never heard about, with targets I have heard about used in a different way. So, I really think we’re going to see more and more bispecifics. A lot of these drugs are used second line, third line, fourth line. I would not be surprised if they moved up in treatment, especially as we learn safer ways to give these drugs,” ONS member Moe Schwartz, PharmD, BCOP, FHOP, professor of pharmacy practice at the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy at the University of Cincinnati, OH, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about bispecific antibodies.

That was granted accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome–negative relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a bispecific that targets CD19-expressing tumor cells and CD3 on T cells. It’s the original bispecific T-cell engager and is often called a ‘BiTE.’” TS 2:11 “The term ‘bispecific’ means that this is an artificial protein that’s developed to hit two different antigens simultaneously. They can be two different epitopes on the same antigen. They can be an antigen on a cancer cell and CD3 on a T cell that kind of recruits the T cell to the cancer. So, there are different types [of bispecific antibodies]. The subtype that we often talk about are bispecific T-cell engagers, which are those bispecifics that do target the T cell. And currently, the target on the T cell that’s utilized is the CD3 molecule. That’s not the only one that will be used in the future because there’s a lot of work being done on other types of T-cell engagers.” TS 4:21 “The targets for lymphoma are CD20. Those are bispecific T-cell engagers that hit CD20 on the lymphoma cell, as well as CD3 on a T cell. ... In myeloma, we have two different targets that have been utilized. One is BCMA or B-cell maturation antigen. That sits on the surface of myeloma cells and on some healthy B cells. ... There’s also a target used in myeloma that’s called GPRC5D, which stands for G protein–coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D. ... In small cell lung cancer, there’s delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3); it’s part of the NOTCH pathway. ... And then this year, we’ve had a couple agents come out that target HER2.” TS 6:52 “[Toxicities] are very dependent on what your target is. ... The bispecific T-cell engager that...

  • Episode 382: Radiation Oncology Treatment Care for Pediatric Patients

    Episode 382: Radiation Oncology Treatment Care for Pediatric Patients
    Sep 26 2025
    “I think sometimes people don’t expect pediatric patients to handle radiation as well as they do. They may have a family member who also had radiation for breast cancer or for prostate cancer and they were an older adult and had really severe side effects. And then they say, ‘Oh, no, I’ve got to put my little baby through this. I don’t really want to do this.’ We say kids are very different in how they handle this. They’re very resilient, so we can provide good education about that,” Elizabeth Cummings, MSN, CPNP-AC, CPHON®, radiation oncology nurse practitioner at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation treatment care for pediatric patients.

Highlights From This Episode “I think one of the things to think about with kids is sometimes they’re not as forthcoming with what's going on, and sometimes it’s a little bit harder to understand. Sometimes that’s just because developmentally, they’re much younger. A 1-year-old can’t exactly tell you what’s wrong. And so you’re really trying to figure it out based on their cues versus a teenager who can tell you, but maybe they’re too embarrassed about something in a way that an adult might not be.” TS 7:01 “Child life specialists are incredible. ... They provide age-appropriate education and explanations for patients, so talking to a 3-year-old about cancer is very different from an 8-year-old or even a teenager. They really are able to meet each patient exactly where they are and at the level that they are, and then provide the appropriate amount of information, which is so helpful for a patient since they learn to build trust and cope with their treatment and [they feel like they] have somebody who can relay that information in a clear and concise way.” TS 11:16 “There’s certainly growing concern about the potential effects of anesthesia on brain health, especially in a vulnerable population like very young children, which are the ones who need anesthesia. We really try to mitigate this by optimizing our anesthetic agents, so we’ll use propofol, which has a really quick onset and offset. And even when the radiation treatment is done, they’ll stop the propofol in the radiation room—even though they are still walking back to recovery, just to minimize the amount of time that it’s ...

We had minimal technology, no standardized training, and often tracked our work on spreadsheets and narrative notes. The broader healthcare team didn’t always understand navigation, so educating colleagues in defining our role was essential. Today, navigation is becoming a well-established specialty. It’s recognized by the Commission on Cancer, supported by [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] reimbursement codes, and integrated across diverse care settings. It’s backed by evidence, standardized training, and emerging technologies that improve both patient care and program sustainability. I’m proud to have witnessed and contributed to the incredible evolution, and I’m excited for what’s next in advancing navigation to better support patients and families.” TS 6:20 Gordon: “When I was first introduced to the [clinical trial nurse] role, there weren’t published competencies in order to learn the role or any real standardization of the role. And so when you worked in clinical trials, you kind of picked up things from the providers, from the other investigators on how you should operationalize the role. We’ve seen that evolve. We’ve seen ONS develop competencies, ONS come out with the clinical trial nursing manual. And our organization has been able to use those tools to standardize the practice of the clinical trial nurse across our institution. So we take those competencies, and they ...
