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 myeloma leukemia.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the importance of age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
    • Appreciate the FDA approval of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine, decitabine or low-dose cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed AML who are unfit for intensive therapy, and identify those appropriate for treatment with these novel agents.
    • Use available research with approved and emerging FLT3 inhibitors to guide clinical care and protocol opportunities for patients with newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
    • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of, published data with and current role of available IDH1 or IDH2 inhibitors for newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML with an IDH1 or 2 mutation, and incorporate these agents into current disease management algorithms.
    • Assess the FDA-approved indications for CPX-351 for 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.
    • Recall promising agents and strategies under investigation for AML, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding clinical trial enrollment.
