TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals 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 and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplantation.
• Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of CD38-directed monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into disease 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 MM.
• Evaluate published research information with chimeric antigen receptor 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 available and investigational bispecific antibodies for MM, and recognize patients for whom treatment with one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
• Review recently presented research establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy, and recognize the potential role of this form of treatment in clinical practice.
• Recall available research data with novel investigational agents and strategies for MM, and appropriately counsel patients about participation in relevant clinical trials.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Infer how various clinical and biological factors affect the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after local therapy, and design appropriate individual treatment plans for patients with consideration of the potential benefits and risks of new and established forms of hormonal therapy.
• Appraise published research findings on optimal management approaches for patients with biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and offer appropriate counseling about the potential benefits of FDA-approved systemic treatment options.
• Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options with patients.
• Explore available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and effectively integrate these strategies into clinical management algorithms.
• Appreciate the biological rationale for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in prostate cancer, and evaluate emerging data with novel AKT inhibitors in combination with hormonal therapy for patients with mHSPC and a PTEN deficiency.
• Establish an evidence-based approach to the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), considering age, comorbidities, prior therapeutic exposure and other clinical and biological factors.
• Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors as monotherapy or in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with mCRPC harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into clinical management algorithms.
• Review available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for patients with mCRPC, and consider the current and potential clinical role of these strategies.
• Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering new research findings, clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and patient preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment.
• Appraise available Phase III data documenting the comparative efficacy and tolerability of first- and second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical decision-making for patients with newly diagnosed CLL.
• 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 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 findings 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 for whom treatment with this novel therapeutic strategy would be appropriate.
• Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with available systemic therapies commonly employed in the management of CLL.
• Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
