Novel and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies in the Management of Select B-Cell Lymphomas
Released April 2020

Featuring perspectives from Dr Julie M Vose. (Video Program)

CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Review recent therapeutic advances and related FDA authorizations for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and use this infor-mation to counsel patients regarding protocol and nonresearch therapy.
    • Consider available Phase III efficacy and safety data with novel targeted agents as first-line therapy for patients with treatment-naïve CLL, and use this information to discern how, if at all, these strategies can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
    • Recall the biologic rationale for and ongoing research evaluating the use of chemotherapy-free combinations in the management of newly diagnosed and progressive CLL and MCL to prepare for the potential introduction of these therapies into practical patient care.
    • Develop an understanding of the biologic rationale for and appreciate available efficacy and safety data with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, and identify patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell cancers for whom this approach may be appropriate.
    • Appraise the FDA approval of brentuximab vedotin as a component of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed classical HL, and assess the current and future impact on routine clinical practice.
    • Describe available and emerging data with other investigational agents and immunotherapeutic strategies currently under evaluation for MCL, DLBCL, HL and CLL, and where applicable, refer eligible patients for trial participation.
