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 follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Identify patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom CD79b-targeted therapy would be appropriate.
    • Develop an understanding of published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies in combination with immunomodulatory agents for DLBCL and follicular lymphoma (FL), and use this information in patient-education discussions.
    • Appraise available research findings with and the current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for patients with R/R DLBCL and FL.
    • Understand the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD30-targeted antibody-drug conjugate-based therapy for patients with R/R DLBCL.
    • Consider published and emerging research data with and the current clinical role of CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies for patients with R/R DLBCL and FL.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with novel therapies commonly used in the care of patients with DLBCL and FL.
    • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for DLBCL and FL, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
