Activity Overview
The management of lymphoid malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, has been transformed by the rapid expansion of T-cell–engaging therapies. An ever-growing portfolio of FDA-approved and investigational CD19- and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, alongside an increasingly competitive array of bispecific antibodies, has introduced complex decisions around treatment selection, sequencing, and safety management as these therapies move earlier into treatment paradigms.
This satellite symposium brings together expert faculty to debate the role of CAR T and bispecific antibodies in the current and future treatment of lymphoid malignancies. Presented in the Medical Crossfire® format, the program uses case-based panel discussions to address key controversies in therapy selection and sequencing, real-world feasibility vs trial outcomes, and the comparative management of CAR T– and bispecific-related toxicities.
This educational activity is an archive of the live virtual symposium held on September 10, 2026.
Target Audience
This educational activity is directed toward hematologists/oncologists, transplant physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and other health care providers involved in the diagnosis and treatment of hematological malignancies.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:
- Analyze efficacy and safety data from pivotal and emerging clinical trials of CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies in lymphoid malignancies
- Integrate trial evidence with patient- and disease-specific factors to guide selection, sequencing, and timing of CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies in clinical practice
- Apply evidence-based monitoring, prevention, and multidisciplinary management strategies to mitigate acute and cumulative toxicities associated with CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies
