Activity Description

Are you prepared to implement advances with targeted agents in CLL in your pharmacy practice? Find out by viewing this “Pharmacy MasterClass & Case Forum” program, recorded during the 2023 Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA) 19th Annual Conference. Throughout, expert pharmacists will present state-of-the-art evidence supporting the use of highly efficacious targeted strategies in CLL, including covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors, BCL2 inhibitors, and chemo-sparing combinations, and give insights on how to apply the evidence supporting these strategies to real-world practice. The experts will also prepare you to anticipate and manage adverse events; proactively address drug interaction and dosing complexities; and provide staff and patient education on single-agent and combination strategies. Don’t miss this opportunity to get the latest on the new treatment mix in CLL!
