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 chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering new research findings, clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and patient preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment.
  • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with CLL.
  • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biological and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL.
  • Discuss available clinical research findings demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors in CLL, and use this information to effectively incorporate these agents into the care of patients with R/R disease.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for the investigation of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for CLL, and identify patients for whom this novel therapeutic strategy would be appropriate.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with available systemic therapies commonly employed in the treatment of CLL.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
