Topics to Be Discussed

  • MODULE 1: Current and Emerging Approaches to First-Line Therapy for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
  • MODULE 2: Optimal Management of Adverse Events (AEs) with Bruton Tyrosine Kinase and Bcl-2 Inhibitors; Considerations for Special Patient Populations
  • MODULE 3: Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory CLL
  • MODULE 4: Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy and Other Novel Strategies for CLL

CE Information

Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed CLL, considering new research findings, clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment.
  • Appraise available Phase III data documenting 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 newly diagnosed CLL.
  • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with CLL.
  • Analyze how patient age, performance status and prior therapeutic exposure and biological and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL.
  • Discuss available clinical research demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for CLL, and use this information to effectively incorporate these agents into the care of patients with R/R disease.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for the investigation of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for CLL, and identify appropriate patients for treatment with this novel strategy.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with available systemic therapies commonly employed in the management of CLL.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation in CLL, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
