Program Overview

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) management demands a patient-centered approach, focusing on symptomatic patients or those at high risk of progression. This program will cover the latest risk classification criteria and clinical guidelines, emphasizing the transition from chemo-immunotherapy to targeted therapies like Bruton kinase inhibitors (BTKi), anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, and BCL2 inhibitors.

Given the incurable nature of CLL/SLL, patients often require multiple treatments, each with specific benefits and risks. The program will highlight evidence-based practices and a multidisciplinary approach to enhance patient outcomes, supported by case scenarios demonstrating the application of emerging therapies in clinical practice.

Target Audience

This program is intended for community-based medical hematologists/oncologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with CLL. 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

  • DISCUSS therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. 
  • SUMMARIZE the differences in selectivity, binding, efficacy, and adverse event profiles of agents with a similar molecular target used to treat CLL/SLL.  
  • EVALUATE the evolving role of current and emerging therapeutics for CLL/SLL. 
  • DESCRIBE how to manage treatment-related symptoms in patients with CLL/SLL.
