CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Customize the selection of first-line therapy for 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 CD38-directed monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into disease management.
    • 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 MM.
    • Evaluate published research information with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach should be considered or recommended.
    • Assess available findings with available and investigational bispecific antibodies for MM, and recognize patients for whom treatment with one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
    • Review recently presented research establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy, and recognize the potential role of this form of treatment in clinical practice.
    • Recall available research data with novel investigational agents and strategies for MM, and appropriately counsel patients about participation in relevant clinical trials.
