Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Manage treatment-related toxicities, such as GI or cardiac toxicities, associated with use of TKIs in patients with CML to maintain the correct dose and expand treatment options
  • Increase patient involvement in the initiation of treatment, monitoring of response, managing toxicity, and optimizing adherence
  • Select individualized frontline therapy for patients with chronic-phase CML, considering patient age, medical history and comorbidities, and risk score (Sokal or Euro score)
  • Monitor first-line treatment responses and determine optimal timing of therapy changes
  • Evaluate the available evidence, potential predictive factors, patient preferences, and expert recommendations guiding potential therapy discontinuation and treatment-free remissions
  • Plan second-line, third-line, and later therapeutic strategies to manage resistance after previous TKI failure
  • Describe research to increase the number of patients able to discontinue treatment through combination of TKIs with novel agents
