CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  PURPOSE STATEMENT
  By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Discuss available Phase III data demonstrating the superior efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition compared to standard chemoimmunotherapy as first-line therapy for CLL, and use this information to counsel patients regarding available front-line options.
  • Assess the FDA approval of venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab as front-line therapy for CLL, and explain to patients the risks and potential benefits of time-limited therapy.
  • Appraise available Phase III data documenting the comparative efficacy and tolerability of first- and second-generation BTK inhibitors, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical decision-making for patients with newly diagnosed or previously treated 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 newly diagnosed CLL.
  • Analyze how patient age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for relapsed/refractory CLL, and provide corresponding education to patients.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved and emerging systemic therapies for CLL.
