Spotlight on Hematology
Management of Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia in the Era of Targeted Therapies
StartActivity Details
1.0 Contact Hour(s)
Expires: May 12, 2023
Accredited By
Rush University Medical Center
Co-Provided By
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of community oncologists, hematologists, hematologists/oncologists, oncology nurses, NPs, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia.
Learning Objectives
After completing this program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the criteria for diagnosis and initiation of therapy for patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia, and use this information to guide initial workup and treatment decision-making
- Assess the safety and efficacy of practice-changing clinical trial findings of current and emerging agents for Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
- Integrate current guidelines, available clinical trial data, and real-world findings into individualized strategies for treatment selection, sequencing, and monitoring of Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
Activity Description
This education activity is designed to provide the healthcare team with the latest developments and critical insights into treating their patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia. This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application.
Statement of Educational Need
The treatment of Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (WM) patients should be highly personalized, and the patient’s clinical presentation, comorbidities, genomic profile, and preferences, as well as toxicity of the treatment regimens, should be taken into account. Considering the continued evolution of therapeutic modalities and management strategies for WM and the information burden placed on busy community healthcare professionals who may have little to no experience with WM, expert guidance and interpretation of the clinical significance of emerging clinical data would benefit those caring for patients with WM, allowing for ease of assessment and incorporation into clinical practice.

Current and Emerging Therapies for Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
StartActivity Details
Expires: September 22, 2023
Provided By
RMEI Medical Education, LLC
Target Audience
Transplantation, hematology, and hematology/oncology clinicians engaged in the care of patients with GVHD.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Utilize available therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT)
- Implement current and emerging strategies to address unmet needs in the management of steroid-refractory acute GVHD in allogeneic HSCT
Activity Description
Allogeneic HSCT is a revolutionary therapeutic discovery, yet despite advances, the procedure still carries substantial risk for complications and death. Even with prophylactic measures, many patients will go on to develop acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). While there are several agents available for the prevention and treatment of aGVHD, there are still many unmet needs. In this Clinical Reflections® activity, learners will be presented with 2 cases of aGVHD and challenged by expert faculty to reflect back on how they could have been better managed. Faculty will then discuss current guidelines; prevention and treatment options; and emerging agents for prevention, first-line therapy, and steroid-refractory aGVHD.

- Discuss the criteria for diagnosis and initiation of therapy for patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia, and use this information to guide initial workup and treatment decision-making
- Assess the safety and efficacy of practice-changing clinical trial findings of current and emerging agents for Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
- Integrate current guidelines, available clinical trial data, and real-world findings into individualized strategies for treatment selection, sequencing, and monitoring of Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
Activity Description
This education activity is designed to provide the healthcare team with the latest developments and critical insights into treating their patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia. This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application.
Statement of Educational Need
The treatment of Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (WM) patients should be highly personalized, and the patient’s clinical presentation, comorbidities, genomic profile, and preferences, as well as toxicity of the treatment regimens, should be taken into account. Considering the continued evolution of therapeutic modalities and management strategies for WM and the information burden placed on busy community healthcare professionals who may have little to no experience with WM, expert guidance and interpretation of the clinical significance of emerging clinical data would benefit those caring for patients with WM, allowing for ease of assessment and incorporation into clinical practice.

Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of community oncologists, hematology/oncologists, oncology nurses and NPs, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Learning Objectives
After completing this program, participants should be able to:
- Utilize testing for prognostic and predictive markers to stratify risk and optimize treatment selection for patients with CLL
- Employ the latest evidence and available guidelines to select among available therapeutic options in the first-line setting or for relapsed/refractory disease, including considerations for optimal sequencing of therapies
- Describe the clinical data regarding efficacy and safety of emerging therapies and approaches for the treatment of patients with CLL
- Outline acute and long-term safety considerations and factors influencing adherence to CLL treatment and evidence-based strategies to manage these considerations
Activity Description
This education activity is designed to provide the healthcare team with the latest developments and critical insights into treating their patients with CLL. This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application.
Statement of Educational Need
With the recent advances in targeted therapies for CLL, the use of approved and investigational agents is anticipated to expand over the coming years. The introduction of new agents and combinations into the clinic have provided additional effective treatment options but have also created uncertainty over differences in patients who may benefit, efficacy of available and emerging agents, optimal sequencing and combinations, and safety among the available agents. To provide optimal patient care, clinicians must be prepared with a comprehensive understanding of the clinical utility of agents that could significantly impact outcomes for patients with CLL.
