CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Analyze patient-specific factors and available clinical trial data guiding the selection of induction therapy for primary and secondary AML to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
    • Evaluate the biological rationale for and available research findings with Bcl-2-targeted therapy for patients with AML, and appraise the current and potential role of this strategy.
    • Reflect on available research evidence with approved FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide the clinical care of appropriately selected patients with newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
    • Understand available efficacy and safety data with IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with AML and an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, and integrate these novel approaches into treatment algorithms.
    • Recognize the scientific justification for the development of menin inhibitors for the treatment of certain genetically defined subsets of AML, and consider available research findings with and the current and potential role of these novel agents.
    • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for AML, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
