Released September 2020

Featuring perspectives from Dr Eytan M Stein. (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 acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the importance of age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of AML.
    • Recognize the FDA approval of venetoclax for patients with newly diagnosed AML unfit for intensive therapy, and discern how this agent can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
    • 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 newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
    • Develop an understanding of the available data with and current role for available IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML and an IDH1 or 2 mutation.
    • Design and implement a plan of care to prevent, recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with the use of recently approved systemic therapies in the management of AML to support quality of life and continuation of therapy.
