ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.DATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION
This activity was released on March 1, 2023 and is valid until March 1, 2024. Requests for credit must be made no later than March 1, 2024.TARGET AUDIENCE
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of community-based hematologic oncologists, hematologists, medical oncologists, oncology advanced practice providers (NPs and PAs), oncology nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians involved in the management of patients with NHL.STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
With many diverse racial and ethnic populations (including American Indian/Alaska Native, Black, and Asian/Pacific Islander patients) experiencing low 10-year relative survival rates related to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), it is important that all patients receive quality care to improve survival. This includes consideration of clinical trials, which often provide patients access to breakthrough treatments and emerging therapeutic options. However, one of the greatest disparities in cancer care is access to clinical trials and ensuring diverse participation.
Join an expert panel of hematology/oncology specialists and advanced practitioners to discuss the implications of the lack of diversity and inclusion in NHL clinical trials. Panelists will share strategies to communicate with patients about the clinical-trial process, help them decipher eligibility criteria, and identify trials that could provide them with unique and effective treatments for NHL.
Education is also available for your patients with NHL. Help dispel the myths and misconceptions about clinical research and direct your patients to CancerCoachLive.com to access the activity, “Considering a Clinical Trial as Treatment for Your NHL? Key Questions Answered.”EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:- Amend the misconceptions of clinicians that inhibit the consideration of clinical trials
- Assess patient perceptions on participation in clinical research
- Counsel patients using culturally appropriate skills and furnish patients with clinical-trial education
- Discuss ongoing clinical trials in NHL that represent new and emerging mechanisms of action and outline their eligibility criteria
