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 multiple myeloma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Customize the selection of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), considering new clinical research findings and patient- and disease-related factors such as cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplantation.
    • Effectively identify when and how front-line monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 should be integrated into therapy for patients with MM who are eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant.
    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
    • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies in order to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
    • Evaluate CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy directed at BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen) as a targeted therapeutic strategy in MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered.
    • Recall the design and rationale of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies (eg, BiTEs, venetoclax) for MM, including emerging data, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
