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 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Identify patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL for whom CD79b-targeted therapy as a component of first-line treatment would be appropriate.
    • Apply available clinical research findings in the formation of evidence-based approaches for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL in patients who are unfit for intensive therapy.
    • Evaluate the mechanisms of action, available clinical trial findings and spectrum and frequency of toxicities associated with various CD19-directed therapies approved for R/R DLBCL.
    • Appraise the biological rationale for, recently presented research findings with and the potential role of CD30-targeted antibody-drug conjugate-based therapy for R/R DLBCL.
    • Consider published research data with and the current clinical role of bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 x CD3 in R/R DLBCL.
    • Counsel appropriate patients regarding the potential benefits of participation in clinical studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for DLBCL.
