CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate factors, including age, comorbidities, personal preferences and side-effect profile, that contribute to the selection and sequencing of therapies for chronic-phase (CP) CML, and counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Assess pharmacologic similarities and differences among tyrosine kinase inhibitors available for the treatment of CML, and identify which agent is optimal for patients at each stage of the disease course.
    • Review the mechanism of action of and published efficacy and safety data with STAMP (specifically targeting the ABL myristoyl pocket) inhibitors for CML, and appreciate the current role of these agents for patients with relapsed/refractory disease.
    • Consider the biological rationale for and available research findings with STAMP inhibitors as initial treatment for newly diagnosed CP-CML, and recognize the current role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage class-effect and agent-specific toxicities associated with agents commonly employed in the care of patients with CML to support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
