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 acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  
  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 to facilitate the optimal care of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize the clinical and prognostic significance of specific cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and understand the rationale for diagnostic testing.
  • Evaluate the importance of age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors in the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of AML.
  • Recognize the FDA approval of venetoclax in combination with a hypomethylating agent or low-dose cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed AML who are 75 years or older or not eligible for intensive therapy, and discern how these regimens can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
  • Assess available research evidence with approved and emerging FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to counsel patients with AML with FLT3 mutations regarding personalized treatment recommendations and research opportunities.
  • Develop an understanding of the available data with and current role of available IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML and IDH1 or 2 mutations.
  • Consider Phase III data documenting the efficacy of CC-486 as maintenance therapy for patients with newly diagnosed AML who achieved first complete response or complete response with incomplete blood count recovery with induction chemotherapy, and discern how this novel strategy can be appropriately employed in clinical care.
  • Recall promising agents and combination strategies under investigation for AML, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding clinical trial enrollment.
