The goal of this activity is to improve learners’ knowledge of, competence in, and performance in applying practice-changing clinical data and expert recommendations to integrate the use of BCMA-targeted agents for their patients with multiple myeloma.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe to patients the advantages and disadvantages for the 3 mechanisms of action for targeting BCMA

  • Identify patients with multiple myeloma who are likely to benefit from treatment with currently available BCMA-targeted therapy

  • Plan therapeutic strategies using BCMA-targeted therapies for patients with multiple myeloma, considering available efficacy, safety, and tolerability data along with guideline and expert recommendations

  • Identify mechanisms of resistance that can affect sequential use of BCMA-targeting agents

  • Monitor and mitigate potential adverse events from anti-BCMA therapy in patients with multiple myeloma, including but not limited to ocular toxicity, cytokine-release syndrome, and neurotoxicity
