CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers 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, 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 who are eligible or not eligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how to integrate this strategy into clinical management.
    • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established regimens for 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 (CAR) T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen as a targeted therapeutic strategy in MM and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach should be considered.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
