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

June 18, 2026

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

Overview

This presentation will discuss the design, efficacy, safety outcomes, and clinical implications of the INAVO120 trial, a phase 3 study evaluating the addition of inavolisib to palbociclib and fulvestrant in patients with PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer who relapsed during or within 12 months after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. Participants will also review the biologic rationale for PI3K pathway targeting, the evolving role of molecularly targeted therapy in treatment sequencing for metastatic breast cancer, and the incorporation of inavolisib into current clinical practice.

About 40% of patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma develop relapsed/refractory disease. The ECHELON-3 trial compared brentuximab in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab to placebo in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received two or more lines of prior systemic therapy and were ineligible for stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. This presentation will review the ECHELON-3 study methods, results, strengths and limitations, and will also discuss implications for clinical practice.
 

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.
