CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Customize the selection of first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed MM, considering new clinical research and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplant.
    • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplantation, and assess when and how this strategy should be integrated into disease management.
    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
    • Understand the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
    • Evaluate the biologic rationale for the use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered.
    • Assess available research findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM, and use this knowledge to identify patients who may be appropriate candidates for these approaches within or outside of a protocol setting.
    • Recall the design of ongoing studies evaluating other novel agents and strategies for MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
