Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

  • Optimal selection and sequencing of approved therapies for newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL
  • Published research findings with polatuzumab vedotin for patients with R/R DLBCL; optimal incorporation into management algorithms
  • Long-term data with axicabtagene ciloleucel, tisagenlecleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel for patients with R/R DLBCL
  • Patient identification and appropriate referral for consideration of CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy for R/R DLBCL
  • Biologic rationale for and appropriate integration of selinexor into the therapeutic sequence for patients with R/R DLBCL
  • Mechanism of action of tafasitamab and biologic rationale for combining it with lenalidomide for DLBCL; patient selection for treatment with this combination

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

  • Best-practice management of newly diagnosed MCL; current role, if any, of novel agents such as lenalidomide or Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in up-front treatment
  • Practical incorporation of BTK inhibitors (ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, zanubrutinib) into the treatment of R/R MCL; key factors in choosing a BTK inhibitor
  • Available data with, current clinical role of and ongoing trials assessing venetoclax for patients with MCL
  • Key clinical research findings with and FDA approval of brexucabtagene autoleucel for MCL; optimal integration into treatment algorithms
  • Available activity and safety data with and ongoing evaluation of BTK inhibitors in combination with Bcl-2 inhibitors for MCL

Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL)

  • Evidence-based systemic approaches in the treatment of newly diagnosed and R/R HL
  • Role of brentuximab vedotin (BV) in combination with AVD (doxorubicin/vinblastine/dacarbazine) as first-line therapy for advanced classical HL; long-term follow-up from the Phase III ECHELON-1 trial
  • Available data with and current role of BV for older patients with newly diagnosed HL
  • Potential role of BV alone or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition as a bridge to transplant for patients experiencing disease progression on up-front treatment
  • Key efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III KEYNOTE-204 trial evaluating pembrolizumab versus BV for patients with R/R classical HL; implications for clinical practice
  • Published efficacy and safety findings, current role and ongoing evaluation of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with other systemic approaches for patients with HL

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of hematologic cancers.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational agents for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) to determine the current and potential utility of each in clinical practice.
  • Assess the FDA-approved indication for selinexor of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL after at least 2 prior therapies, and consider how this agent can be appropriately and safely incorporated into clinical management algorithms.
  • Understand the mechanism of action of tafasitamab, and appreciate available research data documenting the efficacy and safety of this novel anti-CD19 antibody in combination with lenalidomide for patients with R/R DLBCL.
  • Consider patient age, performance status and other clinical and biologic factors in the up-front and subsequent treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
  • Describe the biologic rationale for, available data with and current clinical role of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibition for patients with R/R MCL, and discern how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine practice.
  • Analyze the recent FDA approval of brexucabtagene autoleucel for R/R MCL, and develop an understanding of how this novel therapy can be employed in patient care.
  • Consider clinical, biologic and patient-related factors in the selection of first-line therapy for individuals with newly diagnosed classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).
  • Develop a long-term care plan for patients with R/R HL, considering prior exposure to systemic therapy, eligibility for transplant, symptomatology, performance status and personal goals for treatment.
  • Assess the ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel investigational approaches for HL, MCL and DLBCL, and obtain consent from appropriate patients for study participation.
