CME: Addressing the Unmet Needs of Current Immunomodulatory Therapy in Multiple Myeloma Medical Education on ReachMD

Overview
With the introduction of both immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) lenalidomide and pomalidomide, and the use of these in combination with drugs from other classes, IMiDs have made a dramatic progress in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). However, despite improvement in outcomes, patients with MM ultimately relapse and must undergo further treatment. Early studies show that Cereblon E3 Ligase Modulators (CELMoDs®) iberdomide and CC-92480 show similar trends in activity in patients refractory to IMiDs. This new next generation of IMIDs have shown enhanced tumoricidal and immune-stimulatory effects compared with first-generation IMiDs and have the potential to replace the current standard of care in both frontline and RRMM. This program covers the benefits as well as current challenges with the use of first-generation IMiDs while exploring the MOA, clinical, and safety activity to date of selective CELMoD® therapy in MM.
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interprofessional team, including hematologists/oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, as well as other clinicians involved in the management of patients with multiple myeloma.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
1. Describe the mechanism of action and unique characteristics of CELMoD® therapies that differentiate them from currently approved, first-generation IMiDs
2. Evaluate efficacy data of first-generation IMiDs and CELMoD®-based therapies and the ability to use these agents in combination with current backbone therapy in multiple myeloma
3. Compare the available data on the safety and tolerability of the CELMoD®-based therapies to current immunomodulatory agents in multiple myeloma
