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 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate published clinical research establishing the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of first-line therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and assess the current and potential clinical role of various BTK inhibitor-based strategies for patients newly diagnosed with the disease. 
    • Appreciate the biological rationale for, available data with and current clinical role of covalent and noncovalent BTK inhibitors for relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL, and discern how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine practice. 
    • Identify patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom CD79b-targeted therapy would be appropriate as a component of first-line treatment. 
    • Develop an understanding of published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies in combination with immunomodulatory agents in the care of patients with DLBCL and follicular lymphoma (FL), and use this information in patient-education discussions. 
    • Appraise the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for R/R DLBCL. 
    • 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 strategy. 
    • Evaluate the mechanism of action of and available clinical trial findings with CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies for 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 subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and discuss ongoing clinical trial opportunities with eligible patients.
