CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Customize induction and subsequent maintenance therapeutic approaches for individuals with multiple myeloma (MM) eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, considering recently presented clinical trial findings and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile.
  • Discuss available research data informing the use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 as a component of induction therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into the clinical management of this disease.
  • Evaluate research data with the use of minimal residual disease (MRD) status to predict long-term outcomes with therapy, and apply this information to determine the current and potential role of MRD testing in protocol and nonresearch management of MM.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with selinexor for previously treated MM and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel compound is appropriate.
  • Recognize the available research data leading to the FDA approval of isatuximab in combination with pomalidomide/dexamethasone for relapsed/refractory MM, and discern how this agent should be effectively integrated into current clinical algorithms.
  • Recall the biologic rationale for targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) with novel therapies in MM, and recognize the similarities and differences between the various investigational products.
  • Appreciate available efficacy and safety data with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies directed at BCMA, and identify patients with relapsed/refractory MM for whom this approach may be appropriate as part of a clinical research study.
  • Understand the mechanism of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with belantamab mafodotin for previously treated MM in preparation for the potential availability of this novel compound.
  • Assess the mechanisms of action, available data and ongoing clinical trials with other novel, investigational approaches for MM, and counsel appropriately selected individuals about participation in active research protocols.
