PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This Virtual Preceptorship invites learners to explore the mechanisms of bispecific antibodies in the management of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Novel bispecific antibodies simultaneously target CD3 on immune T cells and a target on malignant B cells, such as BCMA. By guiding T cells to malignant myeloma cells, bispecific antibodies enable the precise immune attack of malignant cells. In the process of immune attack, bispecific antibodies may trigger adverse events that require careful monitoring and multidisciplinary management. In this virtual reality program, clinicians will gain perspectives on both mechanisms and safe use of bispecific antibodies in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, hematologists, hematology pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to ensure confidence in the management of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Summarize the need for novel mechanisms to address unmet needs in the management of multiple myeloma
• Interpret mechanistic data with BCMA-targeted bispecific antibodies in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
• Evaluate current data concerning BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for the management of multiple myeloma
