Treatment adherence and adverse event management in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: challenges and strategies for the future.
Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology 2024 April 18
INTRODUCTION: There has been a paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) over the past decade. With the advent of self-administered targeted oral anticancer agents (OAAs), the treatment of CLL has begun to shift from the infusion clinic to the patient's home. This introduced new challenges including patient non-adherence, class-specific adverse effects, and financial toxicity to treatment. In this paper, we discuss a structured approach to identifying and addressing barriers to optimal patient outcomes.
AREAS COVERED: We will ground our discussion using the five dimensions of adherence as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO): therapy factors, health-system factors, condition related factors, social/economic factors, and patient factors. We discuss how each of these domains present in patients with CLL. We will also discuss how we can prevent and address these barriers in through the various phases of treatment.
EXPERT OPINION: A multidisciplinary program to support patients on OAAs is critical for patients with CLL. This team should involve pharmacists and social workers in addition to nursing, advanced practitioner and physician colleagues. The program should aim to identify, prevent, and address patient-specific barriers by offering individualized solutions. We describe how such a program can be designed and implemented.
