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 chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Individualize the selection and sequencing of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL, considering clinical presentation, age, performance status (PS), biomarker profile and coexisting medical conditions.
    • Understand published research data informing the selection, sequencing or combining of available therapeutic agents in the nonresearch care of patients with previously untreated or R/R follicular lymphoma (FL).
    • Recognize the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational agents for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in order to determine the current and potential utility of those agents in clinical practice.
    • Consider patient age, PS and other clinical and biologic factors in the up-front and subsequent treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
    • Assess available clinical trial findings informing the use of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for R/R DLBCL, MCL and FL, and counsel appropriately selected patients about the potential benefits of this strategy.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with existing and recently approved systemic therapies for CLL, FL, MCL and DLBCL and thus support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
    • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for CLL and various non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
