Join us on Friday, December 11th from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM central time (8:00 PM to 10:00 PM eastern time).
Module 1: Clinical Utility of CD19-Directed Monoclonal Antibodies for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and Follicular Lymphoma (FL)
- Design, eligibility criteria and emerging findings from the Phase III frontMIND trial assessing tafasitamab and lenalidomide with R-CHOP versus R-CHOP alone as first-line therapy for DLBCL
- Extended follow-up with tafasitamab/lenalidomide for relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL; optimal sequencing for individual patients
- Key efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III inMIND trial evaluating the addition of tafasitamab to lenalidomide and rituximab (R2) in R/R FL or marginal zone lymphoma
- FDA approval of tafasitamab/R2 for patients with R/R FL
Module 2: Optimal Use of CD19-Directed Antibody-Drug Conjugates for R/R DLBCL and FL
- Extended follow-up from the Phase II LOTIS-2 study supporting the use of loncastuximab tesirine for patients with R/R DLBCL
- Initial results from the Phase Ib LOTIS-7 study of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with glofitamab for R/R DLBCL
- Available data with loncastuximab tesirine for other subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
- NCCN guideline inclusion of loncastuximab tesirine/rituximab as a third- or later-line treatment option for FL
- Spectrum, frequency, severity and optimal approach to management of toxicities associated with loncastuximab tesirine
Module 3: Potential Role of Cereblon E3 Ligase Modulators (CELMoDs) in the Management of NHL
- Mechanism of action of CELMoDs; similarities and differences between the CELMoD golcadomide and standard immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), such as lenalidomide
- Early efficacy and safety findings with golcadomide in combination with rituximab for heavily pretreated FL
- Preliminary outcomes documented with golcadomide-containing regimens for patients with newly diagnosed and R/R DLBCL
- Ongoing research efforts, such as the GOLSEEK-4, GOLSEEK-2 and GOLSEEK-1 trials, evaluating golcadomide-containing combination therapy for FL and DLBCL
- Potential clinical role of golcadomide in NHL management
- Spectrum, incidence and severity of side effects with golcadomide; similarities and differences from those associated with lenalidomide
Module 4: Current and Future Role of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibition in the Management of NHL
- Key outcomes with the addition of acalabrutinib to bendamustine/rituximab and rituximab maintenance for patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who are ineligible for transplant
- Published findings with and ongoing studies of covalent BTK inhibitors as a component of up-front chemotherapy-free combination regimens for MCL
- Key data supporting the FDA approval of zanubrutinib/obinutuzumab for R/R FL
- Design, eligibility criteria and primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III ESCALADE trial of acalabrutinib in combination with R-CHOP for patients age 65 or younger with untreated non-GCB DLBCL
Module 5: Role of Bcl-2 Inhibitors in the Management of MCL
- Available data with venetoclax as monotherapy or in combination with rituximab or a BTK inhibitor for patients with R/R MCL
- Available findings from the BGB-11417-201 trial evaluating sonrotoclax monotherapy for R/R MCL
- Other available datasets with sonrotoclax for MCL, including in combination with zanubrutinib
- Design, eligibility criteria and primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III CELESTIAL-RRMCL study evaluating sonrotoclax with zanubrutinib compared to placebo with zanubrutinib for patients with R/R MCL
Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to
- Understand published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies as a component of combination treatment regimens for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL), and apply this information in 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 relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL and FL.
- Evaluate available clinical trial findings with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), FL and DLBCL, and determine the utility of these agents in current and future clinical management.
- Assess the scientific basis for and available research findings with Bcl-2 inhibitors for patients with R/R MCL, and consider the current role of this novel therapeutic strategy.
- Review the mechanism of action and unique characteristics of cereblon E3 ligase modulators under development for FL and DLBCL, and appreciate available research findings with and ongoing studies evaluating the potential role of these novel agents.
- Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for various non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes, and discuss ongoing clinical trial opportunities with eligible patients.
