Improving Outcomes in CLL and MCL: Integrating Evidence-Based BTK Inhibitor Strategies into Clinical Pathways

This is an accredited session.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe standard‑of‑care management of CLL and MCL and the integration of next‑generation BTKis into guideline‑concordant clinical pathways
  • Differentiate BTKis by mechanism, efficacy, and safety to select patient‑appropriate agents at defined clinical pathway decision points
  • Apply fixed‑duration and continuous BTKi‑based regimens for CLL and MCL within clinical pathways while accounting for the non‑interchangeability of agents and common payer coverage restrictions
  • Implement pathway‑based processes for CLL and MCL in community practice to monitor toxicities, mitigate CV risk, and manage treatment interruptions or switching with BTKis

Supported by an educational grant from BeOne.
