CE Disclosures and Faculty Information

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise the risk-benefit profiles of the various novel targeted agents currently used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and develop strategies to manage the unique toxicities that can occur.
  • Understand the pathophysiology of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), recognize the disease- and treatment-related risk factors and establish an evidence-based approach for prevention and management.
  • Recognize the increased risk of TLS for patients with CLL who receive venetoclax/obinutuzumab, and implement administration protocols designed to reduce the frequency of this potentially fatal toxicity.
  • Formulate an approach to managing TLS-associated metabolic abnormalities, including knowing when nephrology consultation is warranted.
  • Consider the risk of cardiac side effects for patients with CLL receiving Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and institute corresponding treatment modifications.
  • Assess the incidence of neutropenia resulting from the use of venetoclax/obinutuzumab, and formulate strategies to manage or mitigate this toxicity.
