The most common monogenic global disorders worldwide are hemoglobinopathies, genetic diseases related to hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis. The genetic cause of hemoglobinopathies are DNA variants in or near the globin genes. It has been estimated that 7% of the global population carry a DNA variant, with the majority of diagnosed individuals having sickle cell disease, and the minority are affected by ß-thalassemia. Though diverse, the burden of hemoglobinopathies is known to be severe and disabling for many individuals, requiring specialized multidisciplinary management. This accredited symposium will feature engaging, case-based discussions among 4 experts highlighting clinical trial data for gene therapies and strategies for integrating gene therapy into the individualized management of hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent thalassemia.

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 Conversations™: The Rationale for Utilizing Non-Factor Replacement Therapies in Hemophilia Care

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.
