In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with J. Thaddeus Beck, MD, FACP, about the FDA approval of pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph (subcutaneous pembrolizumab; Keytruda Qlex) for subcutaneous injection in adult and pediatric patients at least 12 years of age with solid tumors for which the intravenous formulation of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) is indicated. Dr Beck is a medical oncologist at Highlands Oncology in Rogers, Arkansas.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Beck discussed the significance of this approval, key findings from the pivotal phase 3 3475A-D77 study (NCT05722015), and ways that this new formulation may improve patient-centered care.
