TARGET AUDIENCE
These activities are intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Evaluate the biological rationale for the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for multiple myeloma (MM).
• Assess available clinical research findings with BCMA-directed ADCs for MM to facilitate their integration into current management algorithms.
• Develop strategies to identify patients appropriate for treatment with BCMA-directed ADC therapy, and counsel eligible individuals regarding the risks and benefits of these therapies.
• Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage the toxicities associated with BCMA-directed ADCs.
• Recall available data with novel ADC-based strategies currently under investigation for MM, and as applicable, discuss clinical trial participation with eligible patients.
