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 the selection of first-line therapy for individuals with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), considering new clinical research findings and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplantation.
  • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into clinical management.
  • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
  • Evaluate the biologic rationale for the use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered.
  • Review the mechanisms of action and available efficacy and safety findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM in preparation for the potential availability of these novel agents.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
