Expert Illustrations & Commentaries: Exploring the Rationale and Application of XPO1 Inhibitors in Hematologic Malignancies

Release Date: October 29, 2021
Expiration Date: October 29, 2022

Activity Overview

Patients with relapsed/refractory (RR) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or RR multiple myeloma (RR MM) who have been exposed to multiple lines of treatment have few effective therapies available. One new therapeutic strategy is to target nuclear transport proteins, called exportins (XPOs), that inhibit the passage of tumor-promoting proteins across the nuclear membrane of cancer cells and lead to apoptosis of malignant cells.
 
This Expert Illustrations and Commentaries program will explore the mechanism of action of available and emerging therapies in patients with RR DLBCL or RR MM. This activity includes expert discussions of clinical trial data, clinical applications of this information, a review of potential adverse effects associated with use of these therapies, and the role of the multidisciplinary team in treating patients with these hematologic malignancies.

Target Audience

This activity is directed toward medical oncologists and hematologist/oncologists who treat or manage patients with hematologic malignancies. Other oncology health care professionals, including nurses and pharmacists, involved in the management of patients with hematologic malignancies are invited to participate.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:

  • Illustrate the role of exportins (XPOs) on tumorigenesis in hematological malignancy settings in the context of their participation in key signal transduction pathways, oncogenes, and tumor-suppressor genes
  • Explain the mechanistic rationale for the use of XPO inhibition in the management of hematologic malignancies, including the targeting of cancer proteins by these agents, and how these approaches may act synergistically in combination and overcome treatment resistance
  • Evaluate efficacy and safety profiles from clinical trials that have evaluated XPO inhibition approaches among patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma
  • Describe treatment-related toxicities associated with XPO inhibitors and their practical management in contemporary clinical practice
