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 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Develop an understanding of the scientific rationale for the development of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy as a targeted strategy to eliminate cancer cells in patients with various forms of lymphoma.
    • Appreciate long-term efficacy and safety data with FDA-approved CAR T-cell therapies directed at CD19 in multiregimen-relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
    • Identify patients with DLBCL and relapse on first-line therapy for whom treatment with CAR T-cell therapy would be appropriate.
    • Evaluate published research findings to determine the current clinical role of CAR T-cell therapy for patients with other B-cell lymphomas, including mantle cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma.
    • Appreciate available data documenting the activity of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
    • Implement strategies to educate patients eligible for treatment with CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy about the potential for short- and long-term complications.
