Oral Adherence With Nerlynx® (Neratinib) Tablets: Conversation With an Expert, Part 2

Q: Besides the cost, have you had any other patient challenges? And if so, what are some other reasons that patients have struggled with adherence? Can you pro­vide some examples?

A: The process of getting the medicine is sometimes difficult for patients. With any kind of specialty pharmacy, delays in get­ting medicine are occasionally an issue. This has been better with our office now that the advanced practitioners are signing the oral oncolytics orders. They’re not getting missed sitting in some doctor’s in-basket. We have a dedicated RN and LPN, and all they do is work on oral oncolytics and get them to patients.
