CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, medical oncologists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with multiple myeloma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice sequencing of established and novel agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM.
    • Evaluate published research findings to identify patients with R/R MM for whom treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) should be considered or recommended.
    • Assess available research data with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM in order to appropriately integrate these agents into clinical algorithms.
    • Recall recently presented clinical research establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy for patients with R/R MM.
    • Analyze the mechanism of action of, published efficacy and safety findings with and ongoing research evaluating cereblon E3 ligase modulators, and use this information to prepare for the potential clinical availability of these agents for patients with R/R MM.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage class-effect and agent-specific toxicities associated with therapies commonly administered to patients with R/R MM.
