Beyond the Classroom: An Observational Study to Assess Student Pharmacists' Confidence and Perception of a High-Fidelity Manikin Chemotherapy Infusion Reaction Simulation.

To assess the impact of a high-fidelity manikin chemotherapy infusion simulation on student pharmacists' confidence in applying clinical knowledge and perception of oncology pharmacy practice. One cohort of third professional year student pharmacists completed a high-fidelity manikin simulation during the last week of their didactic training. The 10-minute manikin experience simulated an acute paclitaxel infusion reaction, requiring students to apply their knowledge on how to provide patient care during a chemotherapy-induced infusion reaction.

Pepaxto: A New Peptide-Drug Conjugate for Heavily Pretreated Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

Objective: The objective of this article was to review existing data of melflufen (Pepaxto) as an additional treatment option for heavily pretreated relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

Data Sources: A PubMed search was completed using the search terms melphalan flufenamide; melflufen; melflufen AND relapsed refractory multiple myeloma; melphalan flufenamide and relapsed refractory multiple myeloma between January 1, 2013, and October 18, 2021. Additional information was obtained from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Trial Registry, Federal Drug Administration (FDA) web updates, and Pepaxto prescribing information.
