CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists-oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand the biology and pathophysiology of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and assess clinical trial data guiding the selection of induction therapy to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes for patients.
    • Determine how clinical, biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection of induction therapy for patients with AML.
    • Consider how CPX-351 can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms for patients with newly diagnosed, therapy-related AML or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes.
    • Recall Phase III data documenting the efficacy of CC-486 as maintenance therapy for patients with newly diagnosed AML who achieved complete response or complete response with incomplete blood count recovery with induction chemotherapy, and discern how this novel strategy may affect clinical decision-making.
    • Recognize the side effects and toxicities associated with available and emerging induction and maintenance therapies for patients with AML, and develop strategies to manage or mitigate treatment-related adverse events.
