Learning Objectives
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Recognize the prognostic and clinical significance of various biomarkers (eg, del[17p], TP53 mutations, IGHV gene rearrangements) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and refine molecular testing algorithms for patients newly diagnosed with this disease. 
  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed CLL, considering risk profile, clinical presentation, coexisting medical conditions and patient preferences. 
  • Review the similarities and differences between covalent and noncovalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and assess the implications for the efficacy and tolerability of these agents. 
  • Evaluate available Phase III data demonstrating the efficacy of BTK inhibitors as first-line therapy for CLL, and use this information to counsel patients regarding front-line treatment options. 
  • Understand published research findings with Bcl-2 inhibitors in combination with anti-CD20 antibodies as first-line therapy for CLL to effectively inform patients about the risks and benefits of this novel treatment strategy.
  • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented data with this strategy for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL. 
  • Appraise clinical investigator best practices for various R/R CLL management scenarios, and leverage this information to facilitate improved therapeutic decision-making. 
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and as applicable, discuss clinical trial participation with eligible patients. 

Gastroesophageal Cancers
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to 

  • Review published research findings with HER2-targeted therapies for patients with newly diagnosed and R/R advanced HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancers, and assess the current role of various agents and regimens. 
  • Describe the published research data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with other systemic therapies for metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal cancer, and optimally integrate these strategies into nonresearch treatment algorithms. 
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for the use of claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-directed monoclonal antibody therapy in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer, and optimally deploy this approach in patient care. 
  • Recognize available clinical research findings with immune checkpoint inhibitors as neoadjuvant, adjuvant or perioperative therapy for patients with resectable gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancers, and consider the current role of these approaches. 
  • Review the rationale for, available data with and ongoing studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for gastroesophageal cancers in order to prepare for potential clinical availability or to enhance clinical trial participation. 

Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to 

  • Recognize the rationale for targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα) in ovarian cancer (OC), and understand the mechanism of action of and available research findings with FRα-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). 
  • Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy for patients with platinum-resistant OC, and consider the role of this novel therapeutic strategy.

  • Assess the incidence of cadherin-6 expression in OC, and understand available data with and the structural components and mechanism of action of novel ADCs directed at this target. 
  • Appreciate available clinical research findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC), and optimally incorporate this novel strategy into the care of patients with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient and microsatellite-stable/MMR-proficient disease. 
  • Evaluate published clinical research documenting the efficacy of HER2-targeted agents and regimens for HER2-overexpressing gynecologic cancers, and consider the role of various approaches in patient care.

  • Describe the scientific justification for, published data with and current research studies of novel agents and strategies for OC and EC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients. 

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Identify patients with newly diagnosed and R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom CD79b-targeted therapy would be appropriate. 
  • Develop an understanding of published clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies for newly diagnosed and R/R DLBCL, and consider the current and future role of this therapeutic strategy. 
  • Appraise the biological rationale for, available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted ADCs for R/R DLBCL. 
  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings and ongoing research studies with BTK inhibitors for DLBCL.

  • Appreciate the incidence of HER2 mutations and overexpression in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and recognize published clinical trial data with and the current role of novel ADCs for HER2-positive disease. 
  • Review available clinical trial data evaluating the efficacy and safety of HER2-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with HER2-mutant NSCLC, and optimally identify individuals appropriate for this novel therapeutic strategy. 
  • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive ROS1 mutation testing result to appropriate patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available clinical research findings with recently approved and emerging agents demonstrating efficacy for these individuals.
