Live CME/MOC-accredited webinar

Topics to Be Discussed

  • Identification of Appropriate Candidates with Hormone Receptor (HR-Positive) Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC) for Agents Targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway; Role in the Up-Front Setting
  • Clinical Utility of Agents Targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway for Patients with Progressive HR-Positive mBC

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • 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 hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations in patients with HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations as appropriate for those with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory disease.
  • Understand the biological rationale for the development of agents targeting multiple components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and recognize available data with this strategy for patients with HR-positive, PIK3CA wild-type and PIK3CA-mutant mBC.
  • Evaluate available research findings with and ongoing studies evaluating novel PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor-based approaches, and consider the potential role of these strategies in clinical practice.

  • Understand the biological rationale for the evaluation of HER2-directed ADCs for patients with HER2-low mTNBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with this approach would be appropriate.
  • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events associated with agents and approaches commonly used for mTNBC, and develop strategies to monitor for, prevent and manage these complications.
  • Assess the mechanisms of action of, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for mTNBC.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of urothelial bladder cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the biological rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and discuss available data with and the potential role of this novel approach.
  • Optimize the management of high-risk NMIBC that is unresponsive to BCG, considering the efficacy and tolerability of FDA-endorsed therapies.
  • Review available clinical trial evidence with novel intravesical therapies for nonmetastatic bladder cancer, and optimally incorporate these approaches into the care of appropriately selected patients with NMIBC.
  • Analyze the biological basis for the use of perioperative immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Appraise recently presented clinical research findings with perioperative anti-PD-1 antibody therapy in combination with antibody-drug conjugate therapy for patients with MIBC, and consider the current and potential role of this novel approach.
  • Develop an understanding of the clinical relevance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in MIBC, and evaluate available research documenting the benefit of adjuvant anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for patients with detectable ctDNA after cystectomy.
  • Assess the biological rationale for, available research findings with and potential role of promising investigational agents and strategies for patients with NMIBC and MIBC.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of urothelial bladder cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the biological rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and discuss available data with and the potential role of this novel approach.
  • Optimize the management of high-risk NMIBC that is unresponsive to BCG, considering the efficacy and tolerability of FDA-endorsed therapies.
  • Review available clinical trial evidence with novel intravesical therapies for nonmetastatic bladder cancer, and optimally incorporate these approaches into the care of appropriately selected patients with NMIBC.
  • Analyze the biological basis for the use of perioperative immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Appraise recently presented clinical research findings with perioperative anti-PD-1 antibody therapy in combination with antibody-drug conjugate therapy for patients with MIBC, and consider the current and potential role of this novel approach.
  • Develop an understanding of the clinical relevance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in MIBC, and evaluate available research documenting the benefit of adjuvant anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for patients with detectable ctDNA after cystectomy.
  • Assess the biological rationale for, available research findings with and potential role of promising investigational agents and strategies for patients with NMIBC and MIBC.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Assess the clinical and biological factors that affect the consideration of systemic therapy for prostate cancer, and design appropriate treatment plans for individual patients recognizing the potential benefits and risks of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone or in combination with other commonly employed agents.
  • Compare and contrast the mechanistic similarities and differences between LHRH agonists and GnRH antagonists, and use this information to individualize treatment for patients with prostate cancer.
  • Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approval of oral GnRH antagonist therapy to optimally incorporate this novel form of ADT into current treatment algorithms for advanced prostate cancer.
  • Understand the significance of testosterone recovery following ADT for maintaining patient quality of life, and appropriately monitor testosterone when employing these agents for prostate cancer.
  • Identify the potential side effects, including cardiovascular-related events, associated with LHRH agonists and GnRH antagonists for patients with prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage these toxicities.
