CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering new research findings, clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and patient preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment.
  • Appraise the comparative efficacy and tolerability of first- and second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical decision-making for patients with CLL.
  • Review recently presented and emerging data on combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition and ongoing investigation strategies for this approach for CLL.
  • 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) CLL.
  • Discuss available clinical research findings demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors in patients with CLL, and use this information to effectively incorporate these agents into the treatment of R/R disease.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved and emerging systemic therapies for CLL.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
