CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate factors that influence the decision to initiate active therapy for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), including age, comorbidities, bleeding history and risk, lifestyle and personal preferences, and counsel patients regarding personalized initial treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise available guidelines concerning the recommended duration of corticosteroid use as initial therapy for ITP, and identify patients with insufficient response or relapse after steroids for whom a change of treatment may be warranted.
  • Understand long-term efficacy and safety data with FDA-approved second- and later-line treatments for ITP, and consider this information in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with persistent or chronic disease.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with available and investigational therapies for ITP, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate them.
  • Recollect available research and ongoing trials investigating other novel agents and strategies for ITP, and counsel appropriately selected patients about participation in active research protocols.
