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 mantle cell lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), considering available clinical research and the patient’s clinical presentation, tumor biology and fitness and willingness to undergo aggressive therapy.
    • Evaluate published clinical research establishing the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of first-line therapy for MCL, and assess the current and potential clinical role of various BTK inhibitor-based strategies for patients newly diagnosed with this disease.
    • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biological and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL.
    • Appreciate the available data with and current clinical role of BTK inhibitors for patients with R/R MCL, and discern how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine practice.
    • Assess recently presented data with combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition for the treatment of MCL, and review the safety and efficacy of this strategy.
