Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM).

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Individualize the selection and sequencing of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL, considering clinical presentation, biomarker profile and psychosocial status.
  • Evaluate available clinical trial data to formulate therapeutic recommendations for patients with newly diagnosed and R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Customize induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy approaches for MM in the transplant and nontransplant settings, considering patient- and disease-related factors, such as cytogenetic profile.
  • Consider published research and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing or combining of available therapeutic agents in the nonresearch care of patients with R/R MM.
  • Compare and contrast the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational immunotherapeutic approaches (eg, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, bispecific antibodies) for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, CLL and MM to determine the current and potential utility of each in clinical practice.
  • Design and implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with existing and recently approved systemic therapies for CLL, lymphomas and MM to support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
  • Assess ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational approaches for CLL, lymphomas and MM, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
