TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lymphoma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and determine the role of these agents in current and future clinical management.
  • Identify patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL for whom CD79b-targeted therapy would be appropriate.
  • Understand published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies as a component of combination treatment regimens for DLBCL and FL, and employ this information as part of patient education discussions.
  • Appraise the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for patients with R/R DLBCL and FL.
  • Develop an understanding of the biological rationale for, current clinical research database with and potential clinical role of investigational CD19 x CD3 bispecific antibodies in the management of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
  • Recall new data with other agents and strategies currently under investigation for various NHL subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
