Accredited By

The University of Nebraska Medical Center

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity is community and academic medical oncologists, hematologists, hematologic oncologists, advanced practitioners (NP/PA/PharmD), and other clinicians who treat patients with CLL.

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Identify various disease- and patient-related factors that impact the selection of BTK inhibitor use in patients with CLL
• Evaluate clinical trial data of BTK inhibitors that are currently approved for the treatment of patients with CLL
• Assess trial results of investigational BTK-based approaches to the treatment of CLL, including monotherapy and combination approaches
• Review strategies for improving patient outcomes, including optimal selection and sequencing of therapy, adverse event management, as well as oral adherence strategies

Activity Description

This webcast will provide expert guidance on how to correctly use current and emerging BTK inhibitors safely and effectively for patients with CLL and plan strategies for optimal integration of these novel agents into practice.

Statement of Educational Need

Major advances in the diagnosis and treatment of CLL have occurred in the past decade. In the future, studies will continue to BTK inhibitors have substantially altered the management, clinical course, and outcome of patients with CLL. This is especially true for patients with previously limited treatment options due to disease characteristics or coexisting diseases. Significant efforts are underway to investigate the optimal combinations, timing, and sequencing of BTK inhibitors with other regimens and targeted agents, and to capitalize on the immunomodulatory modes of action of BTK inhibitors to correct tumor-induced immune defects and to achieve long-lasting tumor control.

Agenda

• Welcome & Introductions
• Rationale for Targeting Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) in Patients With CLL
• Currently Available BTK Inhibitor-Based Strategies: Phase 3 Studies
• Future Directions and Emerging Data of BTK Inhibitor Therapy
• Considerations for Improving Patient Outcomes
• Conclusions

Statement of Commercial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.

Target Audience

This educational activity has been designed to meet the needs of hematologist/oncologists, medical oncologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and advanced practice nurses who treat and manage patients with multiple myeloma.

Program Overview

Evidence has demonstrated that undertreatment of fit elderly multiple myeloma (MM) patients occurs more frequently than overtreatment. While overtreatment of frail MM patients can induce unnecessary morbidity and mortality, an appropriate assessment for frailty is key to determine whether the patient is actually frail or in fact fit. This step ensures optimal outcomes and improved health-related quality of life.

This In The Clinic activity features a discussion on proper assessment of older MM patients, different scoring systems, the role of real-world evidence (RWE), and trials that support the use of RWE. The clinical case scenarios will allow participants to utilize information from the discussions. A simplified, downloadable frailty scoring tool is also included.

Learning Objectives

• ASSESS patients for fitness/frailty to select appropriate treatment based on individual results
• EVALUATE patient data, including real-world data such as patient reported outcomes and assessment scores, to determine the most appropriate treatment regimens
• IDENTIFY strategies for managing toxicities and comorbidities associated with MM in older patients

Activity Details

Accredited By

The University of Nebraska Medical Center

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity is community and academic medical oncologists, hematologists, advanced practitioners (NP/PA/PharmD), and other clinicians who treat patients with multiple myeloma.

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Incorporate minimal residual disease assessment when evaluating prognosis and potential relapse
• Evaluate treatment approaches for patients with relapsed and/or refractory MM, specifically the decision to include a monoclonal bispecific antibody, or antibody-drug conjugate, CAR T cell therapy, and combination with other agents for triplet therapy
• Develop strategies to mitigate treatment-related adverse events that may occur during the care of patients with MM
• Discuss the results of clinical trials that are investigating emerging novel agents in patients with MM

Activity Description

Expert Insights is an interview involving two renowned experts actively engaged in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch Drs. Sagar Lonial and Krina Patel as they provide key highlights from a satellite symposium preceding the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting.

Statement of Educational Need

The treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has changed dramatically in the past decade. While MM remains an incurable disease, advances in therapy have resulted in a marked improvement in overall survival (OS). New therapies have been approved including novel proteasome inhibitors and antibodies. With so many new available agents, particularly in the relapsed/refractory (RR) MM setting, questions of ideal sequencing of agents, management of adverse events, and incorporating emerging data on investigational agents will require expert guidance and interpretation of newly released data. The goal of this satellite symposium is to provide actionable information and knowledge that will ensure clinicians use the most up-to-date strategies for treating patients with RR MM.

Activity Details

Accredited By

The University of Nebraska Medical Center

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity is community and academic medical oncologists, hematologists, advanced practitioners (NP/PA/PharmD), and other clinicians who treat patients with multiple myeloma.

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Incorporate minimal residual disease assessment when evaluating prognosis and potential relapse
• Evaluate treatment approaches for patients with relapsed and/or refractory MM, specifically the decision to include a monoclonal bispecific antibody, or antibody-drug conjugate, CAR T cell therapy, and combination with other agents for triplet therapy
• Develop strategies to mitigate treatment-related adverse events that may occur during the care of patients with MM
• Discuss the results of clinical trials that are investigating emerging novel agents in patients with MM

Activity Description

Expert Insights is an interview involving two renowned experts actively engaged in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch Drs. Sagar Lonial and Krina Patel as they provide key highlights from a satellite symposium preceding the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting.

Statement of Educational Need

The treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has changed dramatically in the past decade. While MM remains an incurable disease, advances in therapy have resulted in a marked improvement in overall survival (OS). New therapies have been approved including novel proteasome inhibitors and antibodies. With so many new available agents, particularly in the relapsed/refractory (RR) MM setting, questions of ideal sequencing of agents, management of adverse events, and incorporating emerging data on investigational agents will require expert guidance and interpretation of newly released data. The goal of this satellite symposium is to provide actionable information and knowledge that will ensure clinicians use the most up-to-date strategies for treating patients with RR MM.
