Rapid Reviews in Hematology™: Updates from San Diego on Therapeutic Advancements in Hemolytic Anemias – A Focus on Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Target Audience

These activities are intended for hematologists, oncologists, and other health care professionals interested in understanding the treatment guidelines and strategies for managing patients with hemolytic anemias. Fellows, researchers, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care professionals are also invited to attend.

Activity Overview

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired blood disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, and impaired bone marrow function. Given its spectrum of disease, PNH is associated with significant disease burden. Importantly, there have been ongoing advances related to current and emerging therapeutic options for its management that offer significant promise.

This online, on-demand virtual symposium features a panel discussion among hematology experts, highlighting the implications and applications of data regarding the treatment and management of PNH. The panel discusses topics that include the efficacy and safety of available and investigational therapies, strategies for treatment planning, and quality of life aspects for affected patients.

This educational activity is an archive of the live virtual symposium held on January 28, 2021.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:

Relate the pathophysiology of PNH to targets for its management
Examine emerging clinical trial evidence regarding current and emerging therapies for patients with PNH
Develop patient-centric treatment plans for patients with PNH
