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 myelofibrosis.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Use an understanding of disease biology and natural history to accurately diagnose myelofibrosis and effectively counsel patients diagnosed with these disorders regarding long-term prognoses.
    • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biological and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with primary and secondary myelofibrosis.
    • Appraise available research findings informing the safety and efficacy of approved JAK inhibitors in patients with myelofibrosis, including those with thrombocytopenia, anemia or compromised renal function.
    • Review available research data with and the current clinical role of novel JAK inhibitors for patients with myelofibrosis and severe thrombocytopenia.
    • Evaluate available research findings with investigational JAK inhibitors for patients with myelofibrosis and anemia in preparation for the potential commercial availability of additional therapeutic alternatives for this patient population.
    • Consider evidence-based therapeutic options for polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET), and develop clinical algorithms intended to enhance quality and quantity of life for patients with these distinct yet related diseases.
    • Develop supportive care plans to more effectively monitor for, identify and manage side effects and toxicities associated with commonly utilized agents for myelofibrosis, PV and ET.
    • Recall the biological rationale for, available efficacy and safety data with and design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational agents and strategies for patients with myelofibrosis, PV and ET, and refer eligible patients for study participation.
