CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, nurses, radiology oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Customize the selection of first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), considering new clinical research findings, patient- and disease-related factors — including cytogenetic profile — and eligibility for stem cell transplant.
    • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into clinical management.
    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) 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 biological rationale for the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered or recommended.
    • Assess available research findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM, and recognize patients for whom treatment with or a clinical trial of one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for MM, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
