ONS Bridge — Traversing New Terrains In CLL: The Emerging Role Of BTK Inhibitors In The Treatment Landscape
Access the presentation on the ONS Bridge:
(Note: you must be registered for the Bridge to view the presentation)
The objective of this activity is to provide evidence-based information on the latest developments for the use of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Given the demonstrated clinical benefit of BTKi therapy and its advantages over chemotherapy, it is essential for patients that the adoption of BTKi therapy continues to accelerate. As front-line caregivers, oncology nurses are optimally positioned to guide patients through therapy and properly manage adverse events that may arise with this therapy. Additionally, optimizing patient adherence to oral BTKis is vital to achieving efficacy and improving clinical outcomes. Oncology nurses must develop best practices for educating patients and monitoring adherence for those receiving oral BTKi therapy.
Supported by an independent educational grant from AstraZeneca.
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses attending the 2020 ONS Bridge Virtual Meeting.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the role of the B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway in the survival and proliferation of cancer cells and the rationale for targeting this pathway in CLL/SLL.
- Examine the latest efficacy data on the use of BTK inhibitors in treatment-naïve and relapsed/refractory CLL and review the most recent guideline recommendations for CLL/SLL management.
- Discuss the unique adverse events that may arise with the use of BTK inhibitors and explore evidence-based strategies to ensure the timely recognition and proper management of these adverse events.
