TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, surgeons 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, 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 disease management.
• Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing and combining of established agents and regimens for 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 to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
• Evaluate the biological rationale for the use of chimeric antigen receptor 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 or enrollment in a clinical trial of one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
• Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for MM, and provide appropriate counsel to patients about availability and participation.
