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 patients with newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment in addition to new research findings.
    • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented and emerging data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with CLL.
    • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biological 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 for CLL, and use this information to effectively incorporate these agents into the care of patients with R/R disease.
    • Evaluate the biological rationale for the investigation of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for CLL, and identify patients appropriate for treatment with this novel therapeutic strategy.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with systemic therapies commonly used in the management of CLL.
    • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
