Shared Care Offers an Effective Framework for Managing Tagraxofusp Treatment in Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm.

BACKGROUND: Tagraxofusp, a first-in-class CD123-targeted therapy, is the only approved treatment for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Shared care models enable coordination and care delivery between specialized cancer treatment centers and local institutions, allowing eligible patients to receive tagraxofusp. SUMMARY: This review provides guidance on best practices for effective shared care implementation for tagraxofusp in patients with BPDCN, including appropriate patient selection, adequate local institutional readiness, proactive collaboration and communication between institutions, integrated comanagement between institutions, and requisite staff, patient, and caregiver education. KEY MESSAGES: Shared care is particularly suitable for tagraxofusp treatment, as adverse events can be grade 3 or greater, but typically only occur in cycle 1, if they are to occur at all. Based on clinical experience, this article discusses the application of a shared care model for tagraxofusp treatment in BPDCN.
