Learning Objectives

In particular, faculty and learners will collectively:

  • Address the mechanism of action and rationale for molecular targeted therapy approaches in maintenance and relapsed/refractory MM, and discuss characteristics of patients who may benefit from these approaches
  • Assess treatment approaches, including use of single-agent, combination, and sequenced regimens alongside agents that can reduce skeletal events/improve overall survival in the management of MM
  • Identify and evaluate the factors that affect the choice and response to induction therapy for transplant- and non-transplant-eligible patients with MM
