TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Customize the selection of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed MM, considering new clinical research findings and patient- and disease-related factors, including cytogenetic profile and fitness for stem cell transplantation.
• Appreciate trial data informing the front-line use of CD38-directed monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with MM eligible or ineligible for stem cell transplant, and effectively identify when and how this strategy should be integrated into clinical management.
• Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice sequencing of established and novel agents and regimens for patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
• Understand the mechanisms of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with FDA-approved novel therapies to facilitate their integration into MM management algorithms.
• Evaluate the biological rationale for and published research information with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) as a targeted therapeutic strategy for MM, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel approach should be considered or recommended.
• Assess available findings with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM, and recognize patients for whom treatment with or participation in a clinical trial of one of these novel agents would be appropriate.
• Recall the mechanisms of action of and available research data with novel investigational agents and strategies for MM, and appropriately counsel patients about participation in clinical trials.
