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 follicular lymphoma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection and sequencing of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering clinical presentation, age, performance status, biomarker profile and coexisting medical conditions.
  • Discuss available Phase III data demonstrating the superior efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibition compared to standard chemoimmunotherapy as first-line therapy for patients with CLL, and use this information to discern how this strategy can be optimally integrated into nonresearch treatment.
  • Assess the FDA approval of venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab as front-line therapy for CLL, and determine how to appropriately integrate this regimen into treatment decision-making.
  • 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).
  • Appreciate available data investigating rituximab/lenalidomide for patients with treatment-naïve and R/R FL, and optimally incorporate this therapeutic approach into treatment algorithms.
  • Recognize the recent FDA approval of tazemetostat for R/R FL, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel agent may be appropriate.
  • Assess the ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel investigational approaches for FL and CLL, and obtain consent from appropriate patients for study participation.
