Clinical Vignette Series: How Can We Be More Strategic in Treatment Planning for Patients with ALL?

Release Date: November 30, 2021
Expiration Date: November 30, 2022

Activity Overview

Identification of new cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities is leading to great progress in understanding the pathophysiology of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The addition of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), monoclonal antibodies, novel immune therapies, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy to the treatment landscape has resulted in improved clinical outcomes and more individualized therapeutic regimens based upon patient characteristics, including genetic mutations and previous lines of therapy.

This educational activity uses a multimedia format combining written passages and brief audio interviews focused on the practical aspects of strategically planning management of patients with ALL from front-line treatment to management of relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease. Expert faculty review the impact of clinical data on patient care, discuss clinical cases, and share forward-looking perspectives on the treatment of ALL.
