Target Audience 

This activity is designed specifically for community oncologists, advanced practice providers, and other members of the healthcare team who serve patients from rural and underserved communities. 

Program Overview 

Over the past two decades, treatment advancements in multiple myeloma—including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, and autologous stem cell transplantation—have significantly improved patient outcomes. However, none are curative, creating the need for subsequent therapy. Individuals in rural and underserved communities face barriers to advanced oncology care, resulting in delayed diagnosis, lower quality management, and higher mortality. This on-demand CME/CE activity will review the latest clinical evidence and guideline-based recommendations for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Expert faculty will discuss emerging efficacy and safety data for novel therapies, strategies to optimize treatment selection and sequencing, and approaches to reduce disparities and expand access to care in rural and underserved settings.  

This enduring activity is a recorded session from Oncology Congress Spring 2025 that took place on June 14, 2025. 

Learning Objectives 

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:   

• Explain the rationale for use and mechanisms of action of novel next generation of immunomodulatory agents in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma 
• Evaluate the latest clinical trial data on the efficacy and safety of immunomodulatory agents in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma 
• Apply current evidence and guideline recommendations for treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma 
• Implement strategies to address disparities in multiple myeloma care in rural and underserved areas
