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 myelofibrosis.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with primary or postpolycythemia vera/essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (MF).
  • Appreciate the FDA approval of fedratinib for intermediate-2 or high-risk primary or secondary MF, and identify patients for whom treatment with this agent is appropriate.
  • Assess the tolerability profiles of ruxolitinib and fedratinib, and formulate a side-effect management plan to support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
  • Understand the mechanism of action of and available clinical research data with pacritinib for patients with MF and severe thrombocytopenia in preparation for the potential availability of this novel therapeutic approach.
  • Appraise available and emerging clinical trial findings with momelotinib for patients with MF, including those with disease-related anemia, and discern the role this agent may have in the disease-management paradigm.
  • Recall the biologic rationale for the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational agents and strategies for MF, and refer eligible patients for study participation.
