CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recall emerging research data affecting the clinical management of various forms of AML, and as applicable, adapt treatment algorithms based on these findings.
    • Analyze patient-specific factors and available trial data guiding the selection of induction therapy for primary and secondary AML to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
    • Describe the biological rationale for and available research findings with Bcl-2-targeted therapy for patients with AML, and appraise the current and future role of this strategy in clinical care.
    • Reflect on available research with approved FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide the clinical management of newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
    • Understand published data with and the role of available IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML and an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, and incorporate these agents into management algorithms.
    • Recognize the scientific justification for the development of menin inhibitors for certain genetically defined subsets of AML, and consider available research findings with and the current and future role of these novel agents.
    • Recollect the mechanisms of action of, available data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and approaches for AML, and appropriately counsel patients about the potential benefits of participation.
