Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for chronic myeloid leukemia. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    MODULE 1: Optimizing front-line management approaches to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)

    MODULE 2: Selection and sequencing of treatment after failure of initial tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy

    MODULE 3: Agents targeting the BCR-ABL T315I mutation

    MODULE 4: Management of side effects associated with CML therapies

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate factors in the selection and sequencing of therapies for chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), including age, comorbidities, personal preferences and side-effect profile, and counsel patients regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Understand the means by which tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inhibit CML growth and progression, and recollect which of these agents are available to patients at each phase of the disease.
  • Review the biologic rationale, published efficacy and safety data and FDA-approved indications for the first-in-class STAMP inhibitor asciminib for CML, and apply this information to patient care.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with the use of TKIs, asciminib and other systemic therapies in the management of CML to support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
  • Recall available research and ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies under investigation for the treatment of CML, and counsel appropriately selected patients about participation in active protocols.
