Agenda

Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    MODULE 1: Chemotherapy-free and newly approved targeted therapies for follicular lymphoma

    MODULE 2: Recently approved and promising agents and regimens for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

    MODULE 3: Efficacy and safety of approved CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapies for B-cell lymphomas

    MODULE 4: Incorporation of brentuximab vedotin and immune checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment algorithm for Hodgkin lymphoma; future directions

CE Information

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate patient- and disease-specific factors when designing an optimal induction therapeutic approach for patients with newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma (FL) requiring active therapy.
  • Appreciate the FDA approval of rituximab/lenalidomide for the management of relapsed/refractory (R/R) FL and available Phase III data investigating this combination as front-line therapy, and optimally incorporate this novel approach into treatment algorithms.
  • Recognize the recent FDA approvals of umbralisib and tazemetostat for R/R FL, and identify patients for whom treatment with these novel agents may be appropriate.
  • Assess the FDA-approved indication for polatuzumab vedotin in patients with R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after at least 2 prior therapies; review emerging first-line data with this agent combined with chemotherapy, and consider how it can be appropriately and safely incorporated into clinical management algorithms.
  • Review the recent FDA approval of selinexor for patients with R/R DLBCL after at least 2 prior therapies, and consider how this agent can be appropriately and safely incorporated into clinical management algorithms.
  • Understand the mechanism of action of tafasitamab, and appreciate research data documenting the efficacy and safety of this novel, FDA-approved anti-CD19 antibody in combination with lenalidomide for patients with R/R DLBCL.
  • Review available efficacy and safety data with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies directed at CD19, and identify patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma for whom this approach may be appropriate as part of or outside a clinical research study.
  • Consider clinical, biologic and patient-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapies for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel investigational strategies for the treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and counsel appropriately selected patients about availability and participation.
