- Accidental exposure to Imlygic, a genetically modified oncolytic viral therapy, can pose significant risks. Healthcare providers should use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent contact with the medication. If accidental exposure occurs, affected areas should be immediately washed with soap and water or disinfectant. Avoid exposure to open wounds or mucous membranes, as the virus can spread to healthy tissues.
- Patients treated with Imlygic injection may be at risk of developing herpetic infections due to its basis on a modified herpes simplex virus. Signs of herpetic infection include blisters or sores around the injection site or other body parts. Patients and close contacts, especially those who are immunocompromised, should be monitored for herpetic lesions, and antiviral medications should be administered promptly if an infection is suspected.
- Injection site reactions are common and can range from mild pain and erythema to severe ulceration and necrosis. Patients should be monitored for signs of inflammation, infection, and tissue damage. Proper injection techniques and site rotation are recommended to minimize complications.
- Imlygic may trigger immune-mediated events, including autoimmune disorders. Patients should be closely monitored for symptoms of immune system dysregulation, such as rash, fatigue, or joint pain. Immediate medical attention is required if severe immune-mediated adverse events are suspected.
- There have been reports of plasmacytoma development at the injection site. Patients with a history of plasma cell disorders should be monitored closely for new or worsening symptoms, and any suspicious lesions should be evaluated promptly.
- This therapeutic drug can cause airway obstruction due to inflammation or swelling, particularly when injected near the head and neck. Patients with pre-existing respiratory conditions should be assessed for any breathing difficulties and receive appropriate interventions if necessary.
- Treatment with this medicinal product may pose risks to pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential viral transmission and teratogenic effects. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment and for at least three months after the last dose.
- Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Imlygic, as the virus may be present in breast milk. Patients should discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding concerns with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
