Best Clinical Practices for Optimizing the Use of BTK Inhibitors for the Treatment of CLL
This webinar is sponsored by:
Description: With the recent advances in targeted BTK inhibitor therapies for CLL, the use of approved and investigational agents is anticipated to expand over the coming years. The introduction of first- and second-generation BTK inhibitors into the clinic have provided additional effective treatment options but have also created uncertainty over differences in mechanism of action, pharmacologic properties, efficacy, and safety among the available agents. To provide optimal patient care, clinicians must be prepared with a comprehensive understanding of the appropriate clinical utility of BTK inhibitors that could significantly impact patient outcomes.
Following this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Differentiate the characteristics and clinical outcomes associated with FDA-approved BTK inhibitors
- Analyze the safety and efficacy of BTK inhibitors for the treatment of CLL
- Summarize emerging approaches for using BTK inhibitors to treat CLL, including combination therapy and sequencing considerations
- Formulate individualized treatment plans for patients in the VHA/MHS/DoD system with CLL based on intrinsic characteristics of the patient, the disease.
