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 multiple myeloma.
  
  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 multiple myeloma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Customize induction and subsequent maintenance therapeutic approaches for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, considering recently presented clinical trial findings and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile.
  • Discuss new and existing research data informing the use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 as a component of induction therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and evaluate how this strategy should be integrated into the clinical management of this disease.
  • Evaluate available and emerging efficacy and safety data with CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapies directed at BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen), and identify patients with relapsed/refractory MM for whom this approach may be appropriate.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of the FDA-approved agents melphalan flufenamide (melflufen), belantamab mafodotin and idecabtagene vicleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
  • Educate patients about the side effects associated with approved therapies commonly used in the management of MM, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
  • Assess the mechanisms of action of, available data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel and investigational approaches for MM, and develop strategies to effectively counsel patients about the potential benefits of participation in research protocols.
