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 multiple myeloma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Customize the use of induction, consolidation and maintenance therapeutic approaches for multiple myeloma (MM) in transplant and nontransplant settings, considering patient- and disease-related factors including cytogenetic profile.
    • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM, and effectively identify when and how these agents should be integrated into clinical management.
    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established regimens in the care of patients with R/R MM.
    • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies (eg, isatuximab, selinexor, belantamab mafodotin) to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
    • Evaluate the biologic rationale for the use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach should be considered.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
