CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize the clinical and prognostic significance of specific cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities, and use this information to develop, adapt or refine diagnostic testing algorithms for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Analyze how age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of AML.
  • Appreciate the FDA approval of venetoclax for patients with newly diagnosed AML not eligible for intensive therapy, and discern how this agent can be optimally integrated into clinical management.
  • Assess available research evidence with approved and emerging FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and protocol opportunities for appropriate patients with AML.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action, published data and current clinical role of available IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with AML.
  • Recognize the FDA approval of CPX-351 for newly diagnosed therapy-related AML or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes, and discern how this agent can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
  • Consider Phase III data documenting the efficacy of CC-486 as maintenance therapy for patients with newly diagnosed AML, and discern how this novel strategy may affect future clinical decision-making.
  • Design and implement a plan of care to prevent, recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved systemic therapies in the management of AML.
  • Appraise ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational approaches for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML.
