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 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    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 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Identify patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom CD79b-targeted therapy as a component of first-line treatment would be appropriate.
    • Understand published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies in combination with immunomodulatory agents in treatment for DLBCL and follicular lymphoma (FL), and employ this information in patient education discussions.
    • Appraise the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates in therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL.
    • Evaluate published clinical research findings establishing the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of first-line therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and assess the current and potential role of various BTK inhibitor-based strategies in the care of patients newly diagnosed with the disease.
    • Appreciate the biological rationale for, available data with and current clinical role of BTK inhibitors in treatment for patients with R/R MCL, and discern how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine practice.
    • Review published clinical research findings establishing the efficacy and safety of combined BTK inhibitor/anti-CD20 antibody therapy for R/R FL, and identify patients for whom treatment with available combinations would be appropriate.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of adverse events associated with various therapies commonly employed in the care of patients with NHL, and consider recommended approaches to prevent, ameliorate and manage resultant side effects.
