Panelists discuss how successful ADC administration requires robust coordination between oncology and eye care teams through same-day appointments and shared medical records at academic centers, while emphasizing the need for partnerships with local eye care providers, standardized protocols, and expanded provider education to ensure safe delivery in community settings as more ADCs enter clinical use.

Panelists discuss updated American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) data showing that adding a CD38 monoclonal antibody to frontline triplet therapy improves minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity and progression-free survival in standard and intermediate-risk multiple myeloma, while reinforcing the need for tailored strategies in high-risk patients.

Managing Ocular Side Effects of ADCs ADC therapy often leads to ocular side effects, requiring proactive management. A typical patient scenario involved mild vision issues that escalated to moderate keratopathy. Regular ophthalmologic monitoring and timely intervention allowed continuation of treatment at a reduced dose while maintaining visual function. Standard care includes a baseline eye exam, ongoing optometry visits, steroid and lubricating drops, and close coordination between oncology and eye care. Dose holds and reductions based on severity are effective in reversing toxicity while maintaining disease control. This case illustrates that with proper planning, patients can stay on effective therapy despite complications. Collaborative care between oncologists and eye specialists ensures that ocular side effects are addressed early, allowing treatment continuity and preserving quality of life.

Panelists discuss how CAR T cell therapy has transformed lymphoma treatment with multiple FDA-approved products showing 70% to 80% overall response rates and 50% to 60% complete response rates across different B-cell malignancies, while emphasizing the importance of comparing clinical trial data with real-world evidence to understand true efficacy and safety profiles.

**Sequencing and Patient Readiness for ADC Therapy:** Panelists discuss how ADC therapy approval has reshaped ovarian cancer treatment sequencing by prioritizing these agents over traditional regimens in platinum-resistant patients with high folate receptor alpha expression, while emphasizing the critical need for patient education about unpredictable novel side effects and continuous monitoring based on patient-reported symptoms.

Panelists discuss how recent data support the use of quadruplet regimens—including anti-CD38 antibodies—even in older or moderately frail patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, shifting treatment decisions from transplant eligibility to functional status and depth of response.
