BTK inhibitors (BTKi) have transformed the management of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and supplanted the serial use of chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) following progression on standard upfront regimens. Ongoing investigations have recently suggested that BTKi-based regimens, including in combination with CIT or CD20 antibodies, may be effective treatment options in the first-line setting. What does this mean in light of new science that has confirmed a role of non-covalent BTKi and immunotherapy as active sequential options in MCL? In this MasterClass & Case Forum activity, based on a symposium recorded during the 2023 ICML conference in Lugano, a panel of experts uses a blended lecture and case-based approach to provide learners with guidance on the differences between covalent BTKi options that can inform treatment selection and how the migration of BTKi to frontline care may impact subsequent treatment decisions with other BTKi strategies, CAR-T, and bispecific antibodies. View this activity now and adapt your practice to reflect the changing times in MCL! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Cite the mechanistic, selectivity, and relevant safety profiles of first- and second-generation BTKi options with applications in the MCL setting; Summarize the efficacy evidence supporting the use of BTKi and other innovative strategies across the spectrum of MCL, including newly diagnosed and R/R disease; Select optimal upfront and sequential treatment with novel agent classes, including BTKi, for the management of treatment-naïve and R/R MCL; and Develop protocols to address practical aspects of MCL care when using novel therapeutic strategies, including monitoring, patient/caregiver education, adherence, and AE management
