    Associate Professor, Clinical Medicine

    Attaya Suvannasankha, MD is a hematologist-oncologist and associate professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, as well as a physician-scientist at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center. Nationally recognized as an expert for moving research from the bench to the bedside, she serves as co-chair of the myeloma working group of the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium. Since her appointment at Indiana University in 2003, Dr. Suvannasankha has worked to develop an interdisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers to bring the best care to patients with multiple myeloma (MM) through translational research. She has led multiple trials of new agents and combinations with a focus on novel immunotherapy.

Placing Bispecific Antibodies in the Treatment Landscape for Heavily Pretreated Multiple Myeloma

Jointly provided by Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) and PlatformQ Health Education, LLC.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

DATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION

This activity was released on September 21st, 2023 and is valid until September 21st, 2024. Requests for credit must be made no later than September 21, 2024.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of – Hematologic oncologists, hematologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, and specialty advanced practice providers (NPs and PAs)

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Decades of progress and several landmark advancements have led to today’s standard-of-care frontline therapies for multiple myeloma (MM), which consist of immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 antibodies. However, efficacy is not durable, with the majority of patients eventually relapsing due to induced drug resistance or emergence of genetically heterogeneous subclones. To explore both current and emerging treatment options for MM, join a panel of expert hematologists and oncologists to discuss new clinical data on treatments, their differences and mechanisms of action, and how to anticipate and manage side effects. Panelists will also explore patient and caregiver preferences, the shared decision-making process, and strategies to resolve disparities in treatment priorities.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
  • Describe the rationale behind the development of new therapies for RRMM
  • Evaluate clinical data related to new MOAs, such as bispecific antibodies in development for RRMM
  • Discuss the role of patient and caregiver preferences in the shared decision-making process and how to align treatment priorities
