MODULE 1: Current Clinical Decision-Making for Patients with Myelofibrosis (MF) in the Absence of Severe Cytopenias
MODULE 2: Managing MF in Patients with Anemia
MODULE 3: Managing MF in Patients with Thrombocytopenia
MODULE 4: Novel Approaches for MF Potentially Nearing the Clinic
MODULE 5: Other Promising Novel Agents Under Investigation in MF
Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF).
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to
- Use an understanding of disease biology and natural history to effectively counsel patients diagnosed with MF regarding their long-term prognosis.
- Analyze how age, performance status and other biological and disease-related factors affect the decision to initiate therapy and the subsequent selection of treatment for patients with primary and secondary MF.
- Appraise available research informing the safety and efficacy of approved JAK inhibitors for patients with MF, including those with anemia, thrombocytopenia or compromised renal function, and personalize treatment recommendations based on this information.
- Evaluate published research findings with JAK inhibitors for MF and anemia to optimize decision-making for this patient population.
- Review available research data with and the current clinical role of novel JAK inhibitors for patients with MF and severe thrombocytopenia.
- Understand the biological rationale for the inhibition of exportin 1 (XPO1) in patients with MF, and reflect on available and emerging research findings with XPO1 inhibitors in combination with JAK inhibition as front-line treatment.
- Recall available research findings with combination regimens incorporating JAK inhibitors and other novel investigational agents, and consider the potential role of these emerging approaches.
- Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of side effects associated with JAK inhibitors and other therapies for MF, and implement a plan of care to recognize, prevent and manage toxicities.
- Assess the mechanism of action, available research findings, and ongoing investigation of other novel agents in MF, and consider the potential clinical application of these approaches.
