Year in Review: Clinical Investigator Perspectives on the Most Relevant New Datasets and Advances in Multiple Myeloma — Webinar Proceedings

Faculty

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Appreciate available clinical trial findings evaluating anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (MM), and consider the role of this novel treatment strategy.
• Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM eligible and ineligible for stem cell transplant, and use this information to optimize therapeutic recommendations.
• 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.
• Evaluate published research findings to identify patients with R/R MM for whom treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) should be considered or recommended.
• Assess available research data with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM to appropriately integrate these agents into current clinical algorithms.
• Recall recently presented clinical research findings establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy for patients with R/R MM.
• Analyze the mechanism of action of, published and emerging efficacy and safety findings with and ongoing research efforts evaluating cereblon E3 ligase modulators to prepare for the potential clinical availability of these agents for patients with R/R MM.
• Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage class-effect and agent-specific toxicities associated with therapies commonly employed for MM.
