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 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Apply available clinical research findings to the formation of evidence-based therapeutic approaches for the treatment of newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
    • Appraise published Phase III clinical trial data documenting the benefit of CD79b-targeted therapy as a component of first-line treatment for DLBCL, and consider the implications of these findings for current clinical management algorithms.
    • Appreciate long-term efficacy and safety data with FDA-approved chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies directed at CD19, and identify patients with R/R DLBCL for whom this approach may be appropriate.
    • Assess recently presented Phase III clinical trial data documenting the benefit of various CAR T-cell platforms as second-line therapy for R/R DLBCL, and consider the significance of these findings in routine clinical decision-making.
    • Review pivotal clinical trial findings leading to the FDA approval of other novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action for R/R DLBCL, and identify patients for whom treatment with these approaches would be appropriate.
    • Evaluate the mechanism of action of and available clinical trial data with bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 × CD3 in patients with DLBCL, and consider the potential clinical role of these agents.
    • Compare and contrast the side effects associated with available and emerging therapeutic strategies for DLBCL, and formulate supportive care strategies to minimize and manage these toxicities.
    • Recall ongoing clinical studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for DLBCL, and counsel appropriate patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
