Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

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

• Analyze how age, performance status and other biologic and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with various presentations of AML.
• Evaluate the recent FDA approval of venetoclax in combination with a hypomethylating agent or low-dose cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed AML not eligible for intensive therapy, and discern how these regimens can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
• Assess available research evidence with approved and emerging FLT3 inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and protocol opportunities for appropriate patients with newly diagnosed or progressive AML.
• Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of, published data with and current clinical role of available IDH1/2 inhibitors for patients with AML and an IDH1 or 2 mutation.
• Review Phase III data supporting the recent FDA approval of CC-486 as maintenance therapy for patients with newly diagnosed AML who achieved first complete response or complete response with incomplete blood count recovery with induction chemotherapy, and consider how the availability of this novel strategy may affect clinical decision-making.
• Appraise ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational approaches for AML, and obtain consent from appropriate patients for study participation.
