CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the clinical and prognostic significance of specific cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities, and use this information to develop, adapt or refine diagnostic testing algorithms for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
    • Analyze how age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of AML.
    • Assess available research evidence with approved and emerging FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and the presentation of appropriate protocol opportunities to patients with newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
    • Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action of, published data with and current clinical role for available IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with AML and an IDH1 or 2 mutation.
    • Recognize the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational agents for AML with other targetable genetic abnormalities to determine the current and potential utility of each in clinical practice.
    • Design and implement a plan of care to prevent, recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved systemic therapies in the management of AML.
