Learn how CLL expert Jennifer Woyach, MD, employs patient treatment history, prognostic information, and other clinically relevant factors to develop comprehensive treatment plans for her patients and get up to date on the latest evidence with BTK inhibitors for CLL by participating in this video activity. Dr. Woyach will focus on enhancing your understanding of the mechanistic, selectivity, and safety differences between covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors (BTKi) and BCL2 inhibitors (BCL2i), the mechanisms of intolerance and BTK resistance, and how BTKi fit into personalized treatment plans informed by the use of validated techniques such as next-generation sequencing, FISH, and karyotype testing. Learners will also be exposed to resources from the CLL Society that can be used to help educate patients on the latest therapeutic advances in customized CLL care. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize the mechanistic, selectivity, and safety differences among covalent and non-covalent BTKi, including off-target effects, therapeutic intolerance, and mechanisms of BTK resistance; Cite validated techniques, including next-generation sequencing, to identify prognostic and predictive markers such as del(17p)/TP53, BTK mutations, and minimal residual disease status to inform treatment decisions; Develop team-based management strategies that include patient treatment history, prognostic information, and other clinically relevant factors; and Implement team-based strategies to educate patients on their prognosis, facilitate clinical trial enrollment, and address dosing and safety considerations when using BTKi strategies.
