Topics to Be Discussed

  • Overview, biologic rationale and mechanisms of action of CAR T-cell therapy
  • Process of producing and administering chimeric antigen receptor CAR T-cell therapies
  • Similarities and differences among approved and investigational CAR T-cell platforms
  • Spectrum, frequency, timing and severity of adverse events associated with CAR T-cell therapies, including cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicities; counseling patients and families about potential adverse events; effective management strategies
  • Selection and sequencing of CAR T-cell therapies for patients with DLBCL, FL and MCL
  • Design of, efficacy and safety in the pivotal studies of CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, including ZUMA-1 (axicabtagene ciloleucel), JULIET (tisagenlecleucel) and TRANSCEND NHL 001 (lisocabtagene maraleucel), and for follicular lymphoma, including ZUMA-5 and TRANSCEND NHL 001 as well as for mantle cell lymphoma including ZUMA-2 (brexucabtagene Autoleucel)
  • Available efficacy and safety data and key ongoing studies of CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, including ZUMA-8 (axicabtagene ciloleucel) and TRANSCEND CLL 004 (lisocabtagene maraleucel); future investigational strategies

Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lymphomas.

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

  • Develop an understanding of the scientific rationale for the development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy as a targeted strategy to eliminate cancer cells, and appreciate the similarities and differences among commercially available and investigational products.
  • Appraise existing and emerging efficacy data from clinical trials of approved and investigational CAR T-cell therapies directed at CD19 for relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas, and use this information to identify patients who may be candidates for this approach.
  • Evaluate recently presented data documenting the benefit of CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and educate patients regarding the potential clinical role of this strategy.
  • Recognize common adverse events associated with CAR T-cell therapies, and implement strategies to educate patients eligible for this treatment about the potential for these complications.
  • Recall ongoing research evaluating CAR T-cell-based approaches for various B-cell lymphomas, and CLL, and counsel appropriate patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
