OPN and ACCP Hematology/Oncology PRN Journal Club - March 2026

March 19, 2026

- The OPN and the ACCP H/O PRN Journal Club is a monthly virtual (online) event. 

Overview

This presentation will discuss the EPCORE FL-1 clinical trial with a focus on study design, key efficacy results, safety outcomes, and implications for pharmacy practice. Current treatment guidelines and unmet needs in follicular lymphoma (FL) will be reviewed to provide context for the role of bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) therapy. Participants will gain insights into the evolving follicular lymphoma treatment landscape and the role of epcoritamab in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab as a therapeutic option.

Identified Gap(s)

Oncology pharmacists lack regular, structured opportunities to engage with emerging literature and apply new evidence to clinical practice. The rapid pace of drug development, evolving treatment guidelines, and increasing complexity of oncology care demand ongoing education that is interactive and peer driven. The absence of oncology-specific journal clubs limits pharmacists’ ability to stay current, critically evaluate research, and contribute fully to multidisciplinary care—ultimately impacting patient outcomes.

Description of Current State

Oncology pharmacists are increasingly stepping into high-value, patient-focused roles due to the growing complexity of cancer care and shortages of oncologists and nurses. With over 50 new cancer drugs approved in 2024 alone, the need for pharmacists to stay current with treatment advances is critical.1 However, educational gaps persist, as pharmacists often lack access to oncology-focused continuing education. As drug experts on the care team, they must be equipped to manage complex therapies and fill care gaps—particularly in areas like pregnancy-associated cancer and supportive care.

Description of desired/achievable state

Oncology pharmacists will have access to a virtual, accredited journal club designed to support continuous learning and clinical application of emerging evidence. This interactive platform will foster peer-to-peer discussion, enhance critical literature appraisal skills, and empower pharmacists to deliver evidence-based care in complex scenarios, ultimately strengthening their role within the oncology care team.

Upon completion of this journal club, you will:

  1. Discuss potential sources of bias, limitations, and strengths of each clinical study
  2. Assess the validity, relevance, and applicability of the latest clinical research studies

Target Audience

This activity is intended for oncology pharmacists, pharmacy techs, and pharmacy residents who are involved in the treatment of cancer patients.
