This program addresses the educational needs for relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell leukemias and lymphomas, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and reveals crucial practice gaps. Key challenges include managing poor treatment responses and patient health deterioration, necessitating therapies that extend survival and improve quality of life. Noncovalent Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ncBTKi) show promise in these cases, but clinicians need updated knowledge on their use, including response rates and management of associated toxicities. Additionally, the evolving landscape of B-cell lymphoma therapies complicates treatment choices, requiring expert guidance on individualized therapy selection and sequencing.
