Statement of Need

The treatment landscape for CLL has changed dramatically in the past 10 years. With three approved BTK inhibitors, and several more on the horizon, choosing which agent to use in the first-line continues to present a challenge to hematologists/oncologists and care teams. As the choice of first-line agent has ramifications for future lines of therapy, hematologists/oncologists need to be able to map out the treatment journey while keeping in mind that therapy resistance or intolerance may arise and that AEs may diminish adherence to therapy.
In this Creative Educational Concepts Live Webcast, expert faculty will guide learners through the latest clinical data that informs best practices (including sequencing BTKis), the rationale and support for combination therapies, and the need to factor in the needs and preferences of patients.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

  • Evaluate emerging efficacy and safety clinical trial data for the treatment of CLL relative to existing data
  • Utilize updated guidelines and evidence supporting the use of combination regimens for the treatment of CLL
  • Develop treatment plans for patients with CLL across multiple lines of therapy while supporting the needs and preferences of patients
