Beginning a new treatment can come with many questions. Your healthcare provider can help make sure you understand and are comfortable with answers to questions like:
As you continue treatment, some of these answers may change.
Before receiving IMDELLTRA™, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:1
You should plan to arrive at the healthcare facility each day of your treatment cycles1
Before receiving your Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 8 doses of IMDELLTRA™, you will be given a medicine by IV infusion to help reduce your risk of CRS1
After each of your Cycle 1 IMDELLTRA™ infusions, you will be given IV fluids1
Your healthcare provider will decide if you need to receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS with future doses1
Due to the risk of serious side effects, like CRS and neurologic problems, your healthcare provider will monitor and watch you during and after each of your IMDELLTRA™ infusions1
You should remain within 1 hour of an appropriate healthcare setting for a total of 48 hours from the start of the IMDELLTRA™ infusion after your Day 1 and Day 8 of Cycle 1 doses, accompanied by a caregiver1
If you develop dizziness, confusion, tremors, sleepiness, or any other symptoms that impair consciousness during treatment with IMDELLTRA™, do not drive or operate heavy or potentially dangerous machinery or do other dangerous activities (including work-related activities) until your signs and symptoms go away.1
Keep these things in mind when moving from one healthcare location to another:
Keep track of your calendar by scheduling the appointment at the new facility before you leave the facility of your current treatment. This helps avoid gaps in care
Think of questions you have for your healthcare provider and healthcare team. Write your questions down and bring them to your next appointment
Journal or take notes about how you feel each day while you’re on IMDELLTRA™. This way, you will stay aware of your side effects and can discuss them with your healthcare provider
Keep the phone numbers of your healthcare team up to date in your phone, or write them down on a piece of paper. Include any friends or family you may want to talk to during your treatment
Carry your wallet card with you so it’s easy for healthcare providers to identify what treatment you are receiving. Since it’s easy to lose wallet cards, you can take a photo of yours so you have a copy on your phone
