TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Design and implement a plan of care for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM), considering the applicability of existing and emerging clinical trial data.
• Customize the use of induction, consolidation and maintenance therapeutic approaches for MM in the transplant and nontransplant settings, considering patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile.
• Appreciate available clinical trial data documenting the efficacy of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 as a component of induction therapy, and effectively identify whether and how this strategy should be integrated into the clinical care of patients eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant.
• Recognize published research data validating the use of minimal residual disease (MRD) status as a mechanism to assess response to active therapy as well as identify the presence of disease recurrence, and use this information to determine the potential role of MRD testing in the protocol and off-protocol management of MM.
• Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice selection, sequencing or combining of available therapies in the nonresearch care of patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
• Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action and available data with recently FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into current MM management algorithms.
• Appreciate available data documenting the activity of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, bispecific T-cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates designed to target the B-cell maturation antigen, and use this knowledge to identify patients with MM who may be appropriate for these therapeutic approaches as part of a clinical trial.
• Assess ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel investigational approaches for MM, and obtain consent from appropriate patients for study participation.
