CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider disease- and patient-related factors, including age and comorbidities, stage and bulk of disease and international prognostic score, to guide the selection of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
    • Develop a long-term care plan for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) HL, considering prior exposure to systemic therapy, eligibility for transplant, symptomatology, performance status and personal goals for treatment.
    • Review published research outlining the benefits and risks associated with various systemic therapies for patients at first relapse, and use this information to discern which may be appropriate as a bridge to referral for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
    • Incorporate available data documenting the efficacy of consolidation therapy after ASCT when identifying patients appropriate for this approach.
    • Compare and contrast the efficacy and safety of various immunotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of HL to determine the current utility of each in clinical practice.
    • Evaluate the biologic rationale for and published clinical research findings with anti-PD-1 antibodies combined with other systemic therapies (eg, antibody-drug conjugates, chemotherapy) and assess the current and future roles of this strategy for newly diagnosed or R/R HL.
    • Assess available and emerging clinical research findings with novel investigational agents directed at CD25, and consider the potential role of this approach in the treatment of R/R HL.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational agents and strategies for treating HL, and counsel appropriately selected patients about availability and participation.
