Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

• Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
• Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
• Review of available clinical research findings
• Community oncologist case presentations
• Interactive audience polling & extensive Q&A

Module 1: Optimal Integration of Venetoclax and BTK Inhibitors into the Front-Line Setting

Module 2: Management of Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Target Audience
These activities are intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Learning Objectives

• Recall the incidence, prognostic significance and clinical implications of select biomarkers and chromosomal abnormalities that have been associated with a diagnosis of CLL, and use this information to develop evidence-based testing algorithms in general oncology practice.
• Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/ refractory CLL, considering clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions, psychosocial status and, where applicable, prior therapeutic exposure.
• Discuss available Phase III data demonstrating the superior efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition compared to standard chemoimmunotherapy as first-line therapy for patients with CLL, and use this information to discern how this strategy can be optimally integrated into nonresearch treatment.
• Appraise the Phase III data supporting the recent FDA approval of acalabrutinib for newly diagnosed or previously treated CLL, and identify patients for whom treatment with this agent may be appropriate.
• Compare and contrast the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved BTK inhibitors for the treatment of CLL to determine the current and/or potential utility of each in clinical practice.
• Assess the FDA approval of venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab as front-line therapy for CLL, and determine how to appropriately integrate this regimen into current treatment decision-making.
• Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved and emerging systemic therapies in the management of CLL.
• Recognize the biologic rationale for, available research evidence with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating the use of chemotherapy-free combinations in the management of newly diagnosed and progressive CLL, and identify patients who may be suitable candidates for these approaches in or outside of an ongoing research study.

CME Credit Form
CME and ABIM MOC credit form links will be emailed to each participant within 5 days of the activity.

Accreditation Statement

Content Validation and Disclosures
Research To Practice (RTP) is committed to providing its participants with high-quality, unbiased and state-of-the-art education. We assess conflicts of interest with faculty, planners and managers of CME activities. Conflicts of interest are identified and resolved through a conflict of interest resolution process. In addition, all activity content is reviewed by both a member of the RTP scientific staff and an external, independent physician reviewer for fair balance, scientific objectivity of studies referenced and patient care recommendations.
