    Keeping up with the vast emerging clinical data on myeloma is a big challenge; figuring out how to translate this data into practice is an even bigger one. If this is relatable, you won't want to miss this session! During this 60-minute event, two myeloma experts will provide you with practical, hands-on "how-to" strategies that you can implement with patients in your community practice as soon you get home from San Diego. Our expert faculty will provide their perspectives on a variety of nuanced treatment decisions: best use of anti-CD38 antibodies in newly diagnosed disease; sequencing considerations in subsequent lines of therapy; and understanding when/why/how to use the latest novel therapies—CAR T-cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, and XPO1 inhibitors. Faculty will also discuss disparities in myeloma care that may lead to suboptimal treatment outcomes in some underserved populations (according to their race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status), and present some strategies to move the needle to reduce these disparities.

    Bring your questions—the myeloma experts will do their best to address them, giving you more tools to improve your myeloma practice, and your patients' lives.

    Championing the Care of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: Practical Strategies to Integrate Bispecific Antibodies

    This program is supported by Janssen Biotech, Inc., administered by Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.


    7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Pacific time

    San Diego Convention Center
    Room 6A

    It's great to have options, and we have more options than ever before for managing heavily pretreated, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The emergence of the new antibodies on the block—bispecifics—has led to notable improvements in outcomes for patients with advanced disease. But more options also means more decisions to be made about patient selection and sequencing. In this 60-minute session, two myeloma experts will discuss all of the practical considerations for integrating bispecific antibodies into the treatment of patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed myeloma. The faculty will both review the clinical evidence and guide you on what it means for your practice. Topics to be addressed include: how bispecific antibodies compare with CAR T-cell therapies, and when each should be used; recommended patient-centered strategies for preventing and managing treatment-related side effects; and how to facilitate collaborative care across clinics and providers to improve our patients' clinical outcomes and lives overall.

    Come prepared for a lively session and Q&A on this important clinical topic.

    MDS 2024: Let’s Overcome the Challenges

    This program is supported by MDS Foundation, Inc.

    Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
    Grand Hall B

    The MDSF ASH 2024 Symposium will focus on challenges the MDS community faces in 2024. Progress has been made in understanding the biology, genetics and pathogenesis of MDS. Prognostication, and treatment strategies have been improved, but not satisfactorily. In 2024 we are still facing problems: Can we assess minimal residual disease ? We are still debating regarding the recommended Hb threshold for RBC transfusions. The increasing role of inflammation in the disease pathogenesis, raises the question of anti-inflammatory treatment. The reports on germline mutations and their role in MDS in adulthood might change our genetic screening policy. Finally, we are still puzzled whether patients with higher-risk disease should be treated with hypomethylating agents only, as the only proven treatment, or additional therapy might improve the outcome. The symposium will highlight these challenges, and based on recent advances in the field, potential solutions will be presented and discussed.

    A few years after their emergence, CAR T-cell therapies continue to revolutionize the management of multiple myeloma. Recently, data has emerged about the benefits of and rationale for using CAR T-cell therapies in earlier lines of myeloma therapy. Despite this, some clinicians still hesitate to recommend CAR T-cell therapies to their patients due to misconceptions about the complexity of care management with these therapies. This session aims to bust those myths and get attendees up to speed on the latest data and practical use of CAR T-cell therapies in myeloma care. CAR T-cell therapy experts will discuss and debate their recommended approaches to identifying appropriate patients for CAR T-cell therapy. The dynamic duo will present best practices for optimizing the treatment journey, including strategies for bridging therapies and selecting and sequencing treatment. The discussion will also touch upon key adverse event management considerations, how to optimize treatment in the community setting, and approaches for improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in myeloma care.

    Engage with faculty in a closing live Q&A session to clarify your challenges in using CAR T-cell therapy in clinical practice. Don't miss this 60-minute whirlwind through CAR T-cell therapy best practices!

    Cases and ConversationsTM: The Rationale for Utilizing Non-Factor Replacement Therapies in Hemophilia Care

    This program is supported by Novo Nordisk, Inc.


    3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Pacific time

    San Diego Convention Center
    Room 6A

    Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder resulting from a deficiency in plasma coagulation proteins. The WFH recommends prophylactic treatment with replacement clotting factors starting before age 3 for all patients with a severe hemophilia. Prophylaxis has dramatically improved treatment, leading to reduced hospitalizations and absence from school or work and improving health related quality of life (HRQOL). Nevertheless, even with the progress achieved with replacement factors, therapy is costly and burdensome. New approaches to hemophilia treatment are therefore being developed to try and address these concerns. Through engaging case-based discussion and video animations, this accredited symposium will provide learners with insights regarding the pathophysiological pathways underlying hemophilia and new non-factor therapeutic strategies, the limitations in the current standard of care for hemophilia, and the role of non-factor replacement therapy in improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
