Management of Toxicities of BTK Inhibitors in B-Cell Malignancies
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have significantly changed the treatment landscape of B-cell malignancies. A thorough understanding of the mechanism of action (covalent vs. non-covalent), similarities and differences in their safety profile and management of specific treatment-related adverse events will enable clinicians to use these agents safely and effectively in routine clinical practice. Clinicians need expert-led education to develop an optimal, individualized treatment plan integrating the various classes of BTK inhibitors for the treatment of B-cell malignancies in the appropriate patient population.
Target Audience
This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, hematologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, and other health care professionals who manage patients with hematologic malignancies.
Learning Objectives
Following this program, participants should be able to:
- Review the differences in mechanism of action and adverse event profiles of the covalent BTK inhibitors used for the treatment of B-cell malignancies.
- Summarize the evidence from clinical trials that have evaluated the use of non-covalent BTK inhibitors for the treatment of B-cell malignancies.
- Plan a therapeutic approach integrating appropriate supportive care strategies based on the toxicity profile of BTK inhibitors.
