CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the importance of age, performance status and other biological and disease-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
    • Appreciate published clinical research findings with venetoclax in combination with azacitidine, decitabine or low-dose cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed AML not eligible for intensive therapy, and identify individuals appropriate for treatment with this novel agent.
    • Reflect on available research with approved FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care for patients with newly diagnosed or progressive AML harboring a FLT3 mutation.
    • Develop an understanding of published data with and the current role of IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML and an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, and incorporate these agents into current management algorithms.
    • Recall published research data with promising investigational agents and strategies under evaluation for AML, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding clinical trial enrollment.
    • Recognize the importance of age, performance status, cytogenetic profile and other patient- and disease-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapy for lower- and higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
    • Recollect mechanisms of action of, available data with and ongoing studies evaluating novel agents and approaches for lower- and higher-risk MDS, and counsel appropriately selected patients about the potential benefits of clinical trial participation.
