The expanding armamentarium of therapies for R/R MM shifts therapy selection from an algorithmic approach to an individualized strategy that requires consideration of the nature of relapse, prior therapies, treatment-related toxicities, as well as patient comorbidities and preferences. With the introduction of novel bispecific antibodies, specialists must learn how to optimally sequence these therapies and manage adverse events. To help clinicians navigate this complexity, individualized education is essential to accommodate early career providers, community oncologists, and advanced specialists. The ACHL AdaptEd® platform achieves this by expanding and contracting to accommodate different learning needs to achieve meaningful results.

Hear from our expert faculty about the advantages of the ACHL AdaptED® learning experience:

This activity is intended for hematologists, oncologists, and the multidisciplinary care team who care for/manage patients with R/R MM.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable malignancy. Even with aggressive initial therapy, most patients experience relapse, and the 5-year survival rate is just 56%. The recent boon of novel therapies, including targeted bispecific antibodies offers new opportunities to enhance efficacy for patients in the relapsed/refractory setting. However, these new therapies have also made the treatment selection process substantially more complex for providers. This education aims to empower healthcare teams to navigate emerging therapies effectively.

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• Review the rationale for targeting BCMA in the treatment of R/R MM and the mechanisms of action of BCMA-directed agents
• Discuss the latest clinical data evaluating BCMA-targeted bispecific antibodies for the treatment of patients with R/R MM
• Incorporate recent clinical evidence into selecting BCMA-targeted bispecific antibodies for an individual patient with heavily treated R/R MM
• Develop strategies to assess individual patient risk for treatment-specific adverse events based on clinical factors when sequencing BCMA-targeted therapies in heavily treated patients
• Outline the mechanisms of action and available clinical evidence with novel bispecific antibodies for R/R MM
