CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Apply available clinical research findings in the formation of evidence-based therapeutic approaches for the treatment of newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
  • Consider the applicability of published Phase III clinical trial data documenting the benefit of CD79b-targeted therapy as a component of first-line treatment for patients with DLBCL.
  • Identify patients with R/R DLBCL for whom treatment with FDA-approved chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies directed at CD19 may be appropriate.
  • Assess recently presented Phase III clinical trial data documenting the benefit of various CAR T-cell platforms as second-line therapy for patients with R/R DLBCL.
  • Review pivotal clinical trial findings leading to the FDA approvals of other novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action for R/R DLBCL.
  • Evaluate the mechanism of action of and available clinical trial findings with bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 x CD3 in patients with DLBCL in preparation for the potential commercial availability of these agents.
  • Develop supportive care strategies to minimize and manage the toxicities associated with available and emerging therapeutic strategies for patients with DLBCL.
  • Counsel appropriate patients on the potential benefits of participation in ongoing clinical research studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for DLBCL.
