CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate the importance of patient age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapy for various presentations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Appreciate the FDA approval of venetoclax with azacitidine, decitabine or low-dose cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed AML who are 75 years old or older or not eligible for intensive therapy, and identify individuals appropriate for treatment with this novel agent.
  • Reflect on published research with approved and emerging FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and protocol opportunities for appropriate patients with newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
  • Understand the mechanisms of action of, available data with and current and emerging role for available IDH1/2 inhibitors for newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML with an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation.
  • Assess the FDA-approved indication for CPX-351 for patients with newly diagnosed therapy-related AML or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes, and discern how this agent can be safely and optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
  • Formulate a treatment algorithm for lower- and higher-risk MDS, considering patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic abnormalities.
  • Develop an understanding of the biologic rationale for and available data with emerging novel combination regimens for higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes in order to prepare for their potential availability in routine practice.
