CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Customize induction, consolidation and maintenance therapeutic approaches for active multiple myeloma (MM) in the post-transplant and nontransplant settings, considering patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile.
    • Discuss available research data informing the use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 as a component of induction therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into the clinical management of this disease.
    • Evaluate research data supporting a role for minimal residual disease (MRD) status in predicting long-term outcomes with therapy, and use this information to determine the potential role of MRD assays in protocol and nonresearch management of MM.
    • Apply published research data and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing or combining of available therapies in the nonresearch care of patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
    • Appreciate available data documenting the activity of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, bispecific T-cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates designed to target the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), and use this knowledge to identify patients with MM who may be appropriate for these therapeutic approaches as part of clinical trials.
    • Assess the mechanisms of action of, available data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel and investigational approaches for MM, and consider the potential role of these therapies in clinical practice.
