TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the biological basis for the development of CNS metastases in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, and appreciate the incidence, prognosis and implications for clinical management.
  • Evaluate available clinical research data and current evidence-based guidelines guiding the selection of local and systemic therapy for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and brain metastases, and integrate this knowledge into treatment decision-making.
  • Design an optimal approach to the care of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and CNS metastases, evaluating the implications of prior treatment, symptomatology, extent of disease, time to new onset of disease and other factors.
  • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel agents under development for HER2-positive mBC with CNS metastases, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Define endocrine resistance in patients with HR-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and integrate available nonhormonal therapies into the care of these individuals.
  • Consider relevant biological, patient, psychosocial and treatment-related factors to personalize the selection and sequencing of therapy for individuals diagnosed with endocrine therapy resistant HR-positive mBC.
  • Appraise available clinical research results establishing the safety and efficacy of HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with HR-positive, HER2-low and HER2-ultralow mBC, and formulate a plan to optimally incorporate this therapeutic strategy into the treatment algorithm for appropriately selected patients.
  • Interrogate published Phase III research findings documenting the efficacy of TROP2-directed ADCs for patients with HR-positive mBC to determine the current clinical applicability of these approaches.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of IDH-mutant low-grade glioma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the incidence of IDH1/2 mutations in patients with low-grade glioma, and understand the biological rationale for the development of therapies designed to target these abnormalities in individuals with the disease.
  • Recognize available efficacy and safety findings with the use of novel IDH inhibitors for low-grade glioma and assess the potential role these agents may play in the treatment of the disease.
  • Understand the toxicities associated with novel IDH inhibitors under development for low-grade glioma in order to prepare for the potential clinical availability of these agents.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel IDH inhibitors for glioma, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment in addition to new research findings.
  • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented and emerging data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with 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 (R/R) CLL.
  • Discuss available clinical research demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for CLL, and use this information to effectively incorporate these agents into the care of patients with R/R disease.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for the investigation of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for CLL, and identify patients appropriate for treatment with this novel therapeutic strategy.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with systemic therapies commonly used in the management of CLL.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.

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 eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into clinical management.
  • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice sequencing of established and novel agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM.
  • Understand the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for and published research information with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach should be considered or recommended.
  • Assess available findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM, and recognize patients for whom treatment with one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
  • Review recently presented clinical research findings establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy, and recognize the potential role of this form of treatment.
  • Recall the mechanisms of action of and available research data with novel investigational agents and strategies for MM, and provide appropriate counsel to patients about participation in relevant clinical trials.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Identify patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom CD79b-targeted therapy as a component of first-line treatment would be appropriate.
  • Understand published and recently presented clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies in combination with immunomodulatory agents for relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL), and employ this information as part of patient education discussions.
  • Assess available clinical trial findings informing the use of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for R/R FL and DLBCL, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding the potential benefits of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Evaluate the available trial findings with bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 x CD3 in patients with FL and DLBCL, and determine the role of these agents in clinical management.
  • Evaluate published clinical research findings establishing the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of first-line therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and assess the current and potential future clinical role of various BTK inhibitor-based strategies for patients newly diagnosed with the disease.
  • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for various non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
