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 lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational agents for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) to determine the current and potential utility of those agents in clinical practice.
    • Incorporate available and emerging therapeutic strategies into the best-practice management of newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
    • Understand published research data informing the selection, sequencing or combining of available therapeutic agents in the nonresearch care of patients with previously untreated or R/R follicular lymphoma (FL).
    • Consider patient age, performance status and other clinical and biological factors in the up-front and subsequent treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
    • Assess available clinical trial findings informing the use of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for R/R DLBCL, FL and MCL, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding the potential benefits of this therapeutic strategy.
    • Evaluate the mechanisms of action of and available clinical trial findings with bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 x CD3 in patients with FL and DLBCL, and determine the role of these agents in current clinical management.
    • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for various lymphoma subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
