During this interactive roundtable-style webinar, our expert HCT and SCD panelists will discuss some of the latest research and outcomes in HCT for SCD, as well as share models for outreach and engagement between transplant centers and SCD programs. Panelists will further explore the role of HCT in the treatment of SCD and how to ensure access to HCT for these patients as a matter of health equity, including through patient programs like the Sickle Cell Warrior Program and HLA Today. This webinar will be relevant for both transplant centers and community hematologists/oncologists and SCD program providers who refer out for transplant and cellular therapies, discussing the role that all practitioners can play in improving access to HCT. 

Accreditation Statement: In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by The France Foundation, National Marrow Donor Program, and American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT).

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This webinar will focus on recent research in the use of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD), convening a panel of experts to discuss ways to improve access for SCD patients who could benefit from HCT. Many patients and providers alike are unfamiliar with HCT as a potential curative option for SCD patients. Demystifying transplant among SCD providers and encouraging strong relationships between transplant centers and community providers treating SCD patients can help open up HCT as an option for these patients. Disparities in health care among racial and ethnic groups are well established, and the lack of discussion of HCT among SCD patients and providers presents another example of differential access to care. Several transplant programs who routinely transplant SCD patients are working to make stronger connections with local community SCD treatment programs to help overcome these barriers to care and encourage discussion about HCT’s place in the treatment of SCD. 

During this interactive roundtable-style webinar, our expert HCT and SCD panelists will discuss some of the latest research and outcomes in HCT for SCD, as well as share models for outreach and engagement between transplant centers and SCD programs. Panelists will further explore the role of HCT in the treatment of SCD and how to ensure access to HCT for these patients as a matter of health equity, including through patient programs like the Sickle Cell Warrior Program and HLA Today. This webinar will be relevant for both transplant centers and community hematologists/oncologists and SCD program providers who refer out for transplant and cellular therapies, discussing the role that all practitioners can play in improving access to HCT. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to:
Identify recent trends in access to and outcomes of HCT for SCD
Discuss models for outreach and engagement to improve shared, coordinated care between transplant centers treating SCD patients and community hematology/oncology or SCD programs
Describe the role of HCT in the treatment of SCD 
Explain how transplant centers and hematology/oncology or SCD providers can work together to improve health equity and access to HCT
Use patient resources for SCD through the Sickle Cell Warrior Program and HLA Today

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for physicians and other members of the health care team who care for patients with sickle cell disease.

ACCREDITED PROVIDER 

This activity is provided by The France Foundation. This activity was produced in collaboration with American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience for this initiative includes hematology/oncology physicians and other members of the multidisciplinary cancer care team involved in the management of patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

STATEMENT OF NEED

Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a heterogeneous malignancy of B or T lymphoblasts characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal, immature lymphocytes and their progenitors, which ultimately leads to crowding of bone marrow elements and other lymphoid organs.[i] While complete remission has improved over the past decades, almost 50% of adult patients will relapse.[ii] Prognosis for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) ALL is poor.[iii]

A number of treatments have been approved for and are in use for ALL, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy. Antibody-drug conjugate therapy directed against CD22 with inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) has been shown in trials to be an effective tool to manage R/R Philadelphia chromosome positive or negative B-cell ALL, but it can be associated with venoocclusive disease (VOD), particularly manifesting in the liver as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome.[iv] The risk of VOD can be higher after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), particularly after certain conditioning regimens, but it is also possible without HSCT.⁴

Given that InO is effective, it is important that clinicians have the confidence to use it. Confidence can be improved with education, so clinicians are more familiar with this therapy, its place in guidelines, its adverse events, and how to manage them.

ACCREDITATION STATEMENT  

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of The France Foundation and the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. The France Foundation is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

A certificate of attendance will be provided by The France Foundation, an ACCME accredited provider.
