CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of myelofibrosis.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Use an understanding of disease biology and natural history to effectively counsel patients diagnosed with myelofibrosis (MF) about their long-term prognosis.
    • 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 primary and secondary MF.
    • Appraise available research findings on the safety and efficacy of approved JAK inhibitors in patients with MF, including those with thrombocytopenia, anemia or compromised renal function.
    • Review available research data with and the current clinical role of novel JAK inhibitors for patients with MF and severe thrombocytopenia.
    • Evaluate research findings with investigational JAK inhibitors for patients with MF and anemia in preparation for the potential commercial availability of new therapeutic alternatives.
    • Develop supportive care plans to effectively monitor for, identify and manage side effects and toxicities associated with common therapies for MF.
    • Increase participation in research protocols by counseling appropriately selected patients on the biological rationale for and available efficacy and safety data with investigational agents and strategies for patients with MF.
