3 Key Takeaways Learner will identify potential treatment plan options for patients receiving immune-oncology. Learner will identify two potential toxicities of CAR T cell therapy and management strategies. Learner will describe nursing considerations for a patient with financial toxicity. Cancer is smart, but your immune system is smarter. The body s own immune system provides one of the best defenses against cancer.

11 Oncolytic Viruses Oncolytic viral immunotherapy (OVI) is a viral targeted therapy that directly kills Four mechanisms of action are related cancer cells by causing tumor death, to OVIs: viral cell receptor response, producing tumor-toxic cytokines or cytokine release, nuclear replication, antitumor host immune responses and extracellular immune response Two ways viruses can be used in treatment: 1. As the sole therapy 2. As a vector for the delivery of the therapy Two types of OVIs are nonpathogenic (harmless to humans) and pathogenic (requiring genetic modification for use) Bayer et al., 2017 Oncolytic Viruses Examples Talimogene lahaerparepvec (T- VEC) -Modified Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (IMLYGIC ) Indication Advanced melanomas with injectable, unresectable tumor cutaneous, subcutaneous, nodal lesions Amgen, 2017 Case Study Preconference 10

12 Case Study Mike s lymphoma has progressed despite receiving R-CHOP x 6, salvage chemotherapy with RICE x3, and an Autologous HCT. He s referred to a tertiary cancer center for consultation for CAR-T cells. CAR T- Cells Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells A type of adoptive cell therapy T-cells are genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to target antigens displayed on the tumor When binding occurs, T-cells are activated, leading to T- cell proliferation and differentiation, secretion of cytokines, and direct cell kill May persist and lead to immunologic memory for antigen Kalos, et al., 2011; Riddell, 2014 Preconference 11
