Program Overview
Program Description
The efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in previously incurable hematologic malignancies represents a promising paradigm shift in cancer care. With the approval of several different CAR T-cell products across several cancer types, expert guidance is urgently needed on the latest safety and efficacy data with these novel therapies. The unique acute toxicities of CAR T-cell therapies can require intensive monitoring and prompt management; education regarding the range, intensity, and management of adverse events of CAR T-cell therapy is essential to optimize patient care. This activity provides expert advice on the use of CAR T-cell therapy across hematologic malignancies, with discussions of supporting data and adverse event recognition and management.
