ASTCT/EBMT 6th International Conference on Relapse After Transplant and Cellular Therapy (HSCT²)

Universal City, CA US
November 10, 2023 to November 11, 2023
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and cellular therapy are life-saving treatment options for many hematologic malignancies and some solid tumors. Relapse and disease progression are the leading causes of treatment failure for most hematologic malignancies both allogeneic and autologous HSCT. During the last five years, significant advances have been made in the understanding of the biology of relapse, including understanding the role of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) loss, clonal evolution, and T-cell exhaustion. Experts agree healthcare professionals must stay current on research and changes in this field. Remaining informed on best practices, the latest treatment options, preventive strategies, and management of toxicities in relapse after HSCT and cellular therapy will aid healthcare teams and researchers in improving patient outcomes.

This activity will provide a forum for participants to learn about and discuss the latest development and therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating relapse after HSCT and cellular therapy. It will include presentations, panel discussions, and Q&A on gaps in knowledge, current research, and topics for future study relative to the biology, natural history, prevention, and treatment of relapse following allogeneic HSCT and cellular therapy.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for hematologists and oncologists, hematopoietic stem and immune cell translational and basic scientists, hematopathologists, physicians-in-training, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, oncology nurses, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to providing the highest level of care in HSCT and cellular therapy for hematologic malignancies.

Learning Objectives

After this activity, participants will be able to:

  • State the basic mechanisms of relapse after transplant and cellular therapies;
  • Recognize risk factors for relapse after transplant and cellular therapies;
  • Recognize the importance of clinical trials in this patient population;
  • Identify strategies to prevent relapse after transplant and cellular therapies;
  • Identify treatment strategies that can be used to treat patients who have relapsed after transplant.
