CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Personalize the selection of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed MM, considering new clinical research findings and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplantation.
    • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of CD38-directed monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into disease management.
    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice sequencing of established and novel agents and regimens for patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
    • Understand the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies for MM to facilitate their integration into disease management algorithms.
    • Evaluate the biological rationale for the use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as targeted therapy for MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered or recommended.
    • Assess available research findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM, and identify patients for whom treatment with or a clinical trial of one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
