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 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.
