CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons 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 cytogenetic profile, eligibility for stem cell transplant, new research and other factors.
    • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM who are eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into clinical management.
    • Consider published research and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens for patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
    • Understand the mechanisms of action of and pivotal trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into MM management.
    • Evaluate the biological rationale for BCMA-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy as a targeted strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered.
    • Assess available findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM, and appropriately select patients for one of these treatments or a related clinical trial.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for MM, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
