Charting the Course for Pediatric and Young Adults with Hodgkin Lymphoma

Jointly provided by Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) and PlatformQ Health Education, LLC, in collaboration with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This activity is supported by independent educational grants from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck & Co., Inc., and Seagen, Inc.

DATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION

This activity was released on January 30, 2024 and is valid until January 30, 2025. Requests for credit must be made no later than January 30, 2025.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The primary target audience for this activity are Hematology-oncologists, pediatric hematologists/oncologists, hematologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical oncologists, oncology pharmacists, and other health care providers (HCPs) involved in the care of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW

While rare in the pediatric population, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) constitutes approximately 40% of all lymphomas that present during childhood and is the most common malignancy in adolescents and young adults. Pediatric HL is highly sensitive to treatments for adults, but long-term toxicity is worse in developing individuals. Therefore, ongoing clinical trials for pediatric HL are attempting to reduce long-term toxicity and increase efficacy.

Join a panel of hematologists and oncologists to review available treatment options and receive practical guidance on the management of young patients with HL. Experts will discuss regimen selection, the management of complications, and the unique treatment challenges associated with managing pediatric and young-adult populations. Clinicians will be brought up to date with the latest evidence across all aspects of care to make informed and confident management decisions and achieve long-term treatment goals.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
  • Review the efficacy and safety of current and emerging therapeutic regimens for pediatric and young-adult patients with Hodgkin lymphoma in the frontline and relapsed/ refractory settings
  • Identify best practices for the proactive identification and management of adverse events associated with current and emerging therapeutic regimens
  • Discuss multidisciplinary approaches to survivorship and follow-up care plans for pediatric and young-adult patients with Hodgkin lymphoma
