CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  

  PURPOSE STATEMENT
  By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed CLL, considering new research findings, clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and patient preferences.
  • Evaluate available Phase III data demonstrating the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition as first-line therapy for CLL, and use this information to counsel patients regarding available front-line options.
  • Understand published research findings with Bcl-2 inhibitors in combination with anti-CD20 antibodies as first-line treatment for CLL, and counsel patients regarding the risks and benefits of this novel therapeutic strategy.
  • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with newly diagnosed CLL.
  • 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 relapsed/refractory CLL to provide education regarding appropriate treatment considerations.
  • Discuss available clinical research findings demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for patients with CLL, and identify candidates for whom treatment with these agents would be appropriate.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved and emerging systemic therapies for CLL.
