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 Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand published research data informing the selection, sequencing or combining of available therapeutic agents in the nonresearch care of patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL).
    • Evaluate the mechanisms of action of and available clinical trial findings with bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 x CD3 in patients with FL, and determine the role of these agents in current clinical management.
    • Consider patient age, performance status and other clinical and biological factors to optimize up-front and subsequent treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
    • Review available research findings with Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of induction therapy for MCL, and assess the risks and potential benefits of this strategy for patients who are eligible and not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.
    • Discuss available clinical research findings demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors in patients with MCL, and use this information to evaluate the current role of these agents in therapy for R/R disease.
    • Assess available clinical trial findings informing the use of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for R/R FL and MCL, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding the potential benefits of this strategy.
    • Incorporate available and emerging therapeutic strategies into the best-practice management of newly diagnosed and R/R Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
    • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for FL, MCL and HL, and consider the roles these may soon play, in addition to ongoing trial opportunities for eligible patients.
