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 multiple myeloma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Customize the selection of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), considering new clinical research findings and patient- and disease-related factors such as cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplantation.
  • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM who are eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into clinical management.
  • Consider published research and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens for relapsed/refractory MM.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
  • Evaluate the biologic rationale for CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach should be considered and/or recommended.
  • Review the mechanisms of action of and available efficacy and safety findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM in preparation for the potential availability of these novel agents.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
