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 chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering new research findings and the patient's clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and personal preferences.
  • Appraise available Phase III data documenting the comparative efficacy and tolerability of first- and second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical decision-making for patients with newly diagnosed or previously treated CLL.
  • Review the efficacy and safety data with combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition, with or without CD20 targeted therapy, for patients with newly diagnosed CLL.
  • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL.
  • Discuss available clinical research demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors in patients with CLL, and use this information to evaluate the potential role of these agents in the management of R/R disease.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents, such as bispecific antibodies and Bcl-2 inhibitors, and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
