Key Takeaways

Route of administration impacts patient compliance and convenience, influencing the choice of PD-1/PD-L1 agents.
Duration of therapy affects patients' quality of life and is a key consideration in treatment selection.
Safety and efficacy profiles are critical in determining the most suitable PD-1/PD-L1 agent.
Place of administration, such as outpatient versus inpatient settings, influences logistical considerations.
Drug preservation, biomarker availability, and cost are significant factors in the decision-making process.

Panelists discuss how various factors, such as route of administration, duration of therapy, safety, efficacy, and cost, could influence the selection of different PD-1/PD-L1 agents once they receive approval, highlighting the importance of these considerations in optimizing patient care.
