CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise available clinical data in the formation of evidence-based therapeutic approaches for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
  • Consider the FDA approval of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with bendamustine and rituximab for patients with R/R DLBCL after at least 2 prior therapies, and consider how this agent can be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical management algorithms.
  • Understand the biologic rationale for, FDA approval of and available clinical trial findings with selinexor for patients with R/R DLBCL after at least 2 prior therapies, to determine the applicability of this therapeutic strategy in clinical practice.
  • Review the mechanism of action of tafasitamab, and appreciate available research data documenting the efficacy and safety of this novel anti-CD19 antibody in combination with lenalidomide for patients with R/R DLBCL.
  • Appreciate available efficacy and safety data with approved and investigational CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapies for R/R DLBCL, and identify patients for whom this approach may be appropriate.
  • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating other novel strategies for DLBCL, and counsel appropriate patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
