Managing Myeloma: Where We Are, Where We’re Going, and Where We SHOULD Be Going (Time to Choose Sides!)

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
In the last 17 years, clinicians and patients have witnessed significant advances in multiple myeloma (MM) management, with the development of new strategies for establishing diagnosis, assessing prognosis, monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD), and delivering supportive care. Even more remarkably, in this time 14 new drugs have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in MM.

This expansion of MM management options brings both opportunities and challenges for oncology HCPs. Furthermore, the rapidity with which clinical data relating to MM therapy is evolving and emerging all but ensures that the MM treatment paradigm will continue to change significantly in the near future.

This activity follows a debate format and features audience polling relating to the proffered arguments, as well as panel discussions.

Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate emerging data regarding the approach to maintenance therapy based on MRD status
- Describe the options available to patients who have relapsed from or are resistant to multiple prior therapies
- Incorporate the use of novel agent/monoclonal antibody–based regimens for newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory MM patients based on currently available evidence
