20148 WEBCAST: Taking the Leap With CAR T: Opportunities for Improving Care and Optimizing Cell Therapy in Hematologic Cancers.

The emergence and recent approval of a novel adoptive immunotherapy—chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy—offers hope for many patients underserved by standard options. Although initial regulatory approvals have occurred in diseases such as ALL and DLBCL, new evidence is suggesting that CAR T cells will play a role in the care of patients with clear medical needs in settings such as CLL and MCL. In this CME-accredited PeerView MasterClass on-demand activity, experts in hematology and oncology dive into the science behind CAR T cells for patients with hematologic malignancies and discuss strategies for appropriately integrating this innovative therapeutic approach into current management protocols. In doing so, the panel discusses evidence for approved CAR T options, offers insights on its future applications in several different hematologic cancers, and assesses its potential as an alternative to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Throughout, the experts share practical information on toxicity mitigation strategies for adverse events and real-world patient management with CAR T cells, as well as several illustrative cases that highlight patient outcomes with cellular therapy.
