A Glimpse Into Future of Myeloma Patient Management

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
In the last 18 years, oncology 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. In this time, 16 new drugs have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in MM—including 10 in the last 6 years alone. The rapidity with which clinical data relating to MM therapy (including for smoldering multiple myeloma) continues to evolve and emerge all but ensures that the MM treatment paradigm will continue to change significantly in the future.

Developed to help hematologist-oncologists prepare for advancements in MM patient management protocols, this activity features presentations on current and evolving MM patient care practices and discussions of how they are likely to evolve over the next 3 to 5 years.

Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to (1) interpret the cytogenetic, molecular, and other standard staging tests used to define risk and prognosis for patients with myeloma precursor conditions and MM; (2) distinguish between the indicated uses and mechanisms of action of current and emerging treatment regimens; (3) evaluate emerging data regarding the approach to MRD testing; (4) develop individualized management plans for MM patients based on risk and cytogenetic and genomic data
