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 multiple myeloma. 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 the Selection of First-Line Therapy for Patients with Multiple Myeloma

    MODULE 2: Integration of Novel Therapies into the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Disease

    MODULE 3: Incorporation of CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor) T-Cell Therapy into the Care of Patients with Multiple Myeloma

    MODULE 4: Novel Investigational Agents for Multiple Myeloma

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 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 such as 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 who are 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 selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with recently FDA-approved novel therapies in order to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
  • Evaluate the biologic rationale for the use of CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy directed at BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen) as a targeted therapeutic strategy in MM, and identify patients for whom this novel approach should be considered.
  • Recall the design and rationale of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents and strategies (eg, BiTEs, venetoclax) for MM, including emerging data, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
