Oncology Data Advisor™: Aligning Treatment Goals and Value-Based Care in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
STATEMENT OF NEED
Multiple myeloma is a clonal plasma cell malignancy characterized by several cytogenetic alterations. Treatment planning for individual patients is complicated by factors such as age, frailty, comorbidities, eligibility for autologous stem cell transplantation, and risk stratification (Kumar et al, 2022). Clinicians need to continually update their working knowledge of emerging data and consensus recommendations that can rationally inform clinical decision making. In Modul... |

Leveraging BCMA-Directed Therapies for Improved Patient Outcomes in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
STATEMENT OF NEED
Multiple myeloma is a disease that remains incurable for most patients, many of whom become refractory to the majority of available treatments (Kumar et al, 2022). It is estimated that 35,730 new cases of multiple myeloma are diagnosed in the United States annually, and 12,590 people die of the disease (Siegel et al, 2023). Agents targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, and bis... |

Expert Guidance on Current Standards and New Directions in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
STATEMENT OF NEED
An estimated 35,730 new cases of multiple myeloma are diagnosed in the United States annually, and 12,590 people die of the disease (Siegel et al, 2023). Characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, multiple myeloma is associated with anemia, renal insufficiency, bone destruction, and hypercalcemia, all of which significantly impact patients’ quality of life. The development of novel therapies and combinations in recent years, inclu... |

Applying the Latest Clinical Data in Multiple Myeloma Patient Care in the Community Setting
In recent years, there have been significant advances in multiple myeloma (MM) management, including approvals of new drugs and treatment combinations. For some patients, however, the benefits of these advances remain elusive: disparities in MM care among Black patients, who are more likely to be treated in the community setting, persist across the spectrum of MM care.
Though evidence-based MM treatment guidelines and consensus statements are available, ongoing studies continue to provide i... |

Putting the CAR(T) Before the Horse: Practicalities of T Cell-Activating Therapies in Multiple Myeloma
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Patients with multiple myeloma that is refractory to multiple classes of therapeutics can be particularly difficult to treat. Fortunately, the treatment landscape is expanding, and a range of new therapies for patients with multiply relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) is rapidly emerging. In particular, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a powerful new immunotherapy that has revolutionized cancer treatment and has been approved for patients with ... |

Ace the Case: Multiple Myeloma Presentation in the Community Setting
Effective treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) requires significant clinical coordination, as MM treatment plans are highly individualized. Treatment is influenced by many factors, including patient demographics, biomarkers, level of disease progression, response to previous treatments, individual treatment goals, and the preferred treatment paradigms of individual practitioners.
This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of the members of the care team (oncologists, h... |

Nursing Management of Bone Health in Patients with Cancer
Once it has metastasized to the skeletal system, cancer often negatively affects bone health, leading to pain, fractures, hypercalcemia, and nerve compression. This online activity reviews interventions to reduce morbodity and mortality of bone complications in patients with cancer.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Advanced-stage cancers, including lung, breast, prostate, and multiple myeloma, can have a detrimental effect on bone health (Coleman, Croucher et al, 2020). Once cancer spreads to the skel... |

The Role of the Clinical Pharmacist in the Management of Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the United States and is characterized by monoclonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells that accumulate within the bone marrow. The incidence of MM has increased in recent years, in part due to the revised definition of symptomatic MM from the International Myeloma Working Group in 2014. The National Cancer Institute estimated a total of 34,470 new cases in 2022, with 12,640 deaths. Despite significant advancements ... |
