TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of metastatic bladder cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review how biological and patient-specific factors (eg, age, performance status, prior treatment, comorbidities and preexisting conditions) influence the selection and sequencing of treatment for metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (mUBC).
  • Recognize the incidence of nectin-4 expression in patients with UBC, and appreciate the scientific justification for the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting this novel biomarker.
  • Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with ADC therapy as first-line treatment for mUBC, and consider the current role of this strategy for patients with the disease.
  • Recall pivotal clinical trial findings leading to the FDA approval of novel compounds (eg, ADCs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) with unique mechanisms of action for previously treated locally advanced or mUBC, and identify patients for whom these approaches would be appropriate.
  • Appreciate the frequency and severity of therapy-related adverse events commonly encountered by patients receiving guideline-endorsed agents and regimens for mUBC, and enact effective monitoring and management procedures for appropriate individuals.
  • Describe the scientific justification for and published research data with novel strategies under investigation in UBC, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible patients.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review published research data supporting the use of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy alone and in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with newly diagnosed triple-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Evaluate published clinical research findings with TROP2-directed ADCs for relapsed/refractory hormone receptor (HR)-positive and triple-negative mBC, and optimally incorporate these agents into the care of eligible patients.
  • Assess the biological rationale for the evaluation of HER2-directed ADCs for HER2-low and HER2-ultralow mBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with this approach would be appropriate.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with FDA-approved ADCs employed in the care of patients with mBC, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate these complications.
  • Recall ongoing trials evaluating the potential role of novel ADC-based strategies for triple-negative and HR-positive mBC, and as appropriate, counsel patients regarding enrollment.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of lymphoma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise the scientific justification for the evaluation of CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies for patients with various forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and assess the similarities and differences between available and investigational agents in this class.
  • Evaluate the available clinical research database with CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies in the management of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and optimally incorporate these agents into treatment algorithms for this disease.
  • Assess available research findings with CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies for other B-cell lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma, and identify patients for whom treatment with these novel agents should be considered and/or recommended.
  • Recognize adverse events associated with available bispecific antibodies, and implement strategies to educate patients and manage complications.
  • Recall ongoing research studies attempting to further define the optimal role of bispecific antibody-based strategies in the care of patients with NHL, and provide appropriate counsel regarding clinical trial participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate available research establishing the utility of various genomic assays in personalizing adjuvant systemic therapy for hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and identify patients for whom testing would be clinically useful.
  • Consider available clinical trial findings with CDK4/6 inhibitors for localized HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and identify patients for whom adjuvant treatment with one of these agents may be appropriate.
  • Review available research documenting the correlation between the presence of various biomarkers (eg, PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations, ESR1 mutations) and response to specific therapies, and develop optimal testing algorithms for patients with HR-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Appraise published efficacy and safety data from randomized clinical trials evaluating CDK4/6 inhibitors for patients with HR-positive mBC to appropriately counsel patients regarding the optimal use of these agents.
  • Interrogate published research documenting the efficacy of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders for HR-positive, HER2-negative mBC progressing on endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in order to optimally integrate these agents into the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN abnormalities in HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory disease.
  • Consider the spectrum, frequency and severity of adverse events associated with various endocrine-based treatment approaches for HR-positive breast cancer, and appreciate strategies to prevent, ameliorate and manage these side effects.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel endocrine-based strategies for HR-positive breast cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the key clinical variables affecting preoperative therapy and the selection of a specific neoadjuvant regimen for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer, and integrate this information into treatment decision-making.
  • Assess available Phase III data with HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates as a component of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk localized disease, and consider the potential clinical role of this novel approach.
  • Evaluate published research data to guide the selection and duration of adjuvant and/or extended-adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer.
  • Appraise available research data and clinical and biological factors to guide the selection of first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Appreciate the key clinical variables affecting the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory HER2-positive mBC, and use this information to personalize treatment recommendations.
  • Design an optimal approach to the care of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and CNS metastases, evaluating the implications of prior treatment exposure, symptomatology, extent of disease and other factors.
  • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with approved anti-HER2 agents, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer.
  • Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies under development for HER2-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
