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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Individualize the selection of systemic therapy for newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), considering new research findings, clinical presentation, biomarker profile, coexisting medical conditions and patient preferences for time-limited or continuous treatment.
  • Appraise available Phase III data documenting the comparative efficacy and tolerability of first- and second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical decision-making for patients with newly diagnosed CLL.
  • Appreciate the scientific rationale for the investigation of combined BTK and Bcl-2 inhibition, and review recently presented data documenting the safety and efficacy of this strategy for patients with CLL.
  • Analyze how age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and other biological and disease-related factors affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL.
  • Discuss available clinical research findings demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noncovalent BTK inhibitors for CLL, and use this information to effectively incorporate these agents into the care of patients with R/R disease.
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for the investigation of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for CLL, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel therapeutic strategy would be appropriate.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with available systemic therapies commonly employed in the management of CLL.
  • Recall available and emerging data with novel agents and combination strategies currently under investigation for CLL, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current management of localized or metastatic breast cancer.
  • Review published research data supporting chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for localized or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise published efficacy and safety data from randomized clinical trials evaluating CDK4/6 inhibitors for HR-positive localized or metastatic breast cancer in order to appropriately counsel patients regarding the optimal clinical use of these agents.
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations and ESR1 mutations in patients with HR-positive metastatic breast cancer, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations in HR-positive, HER2-negative disease.
  • Evaluate published research findings to effectively inform the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents and regimens for HER2-positive localized and metastatic breast cancer.
  • Discuss available research establishing the efficacy of PARP inhibitors for patients with localized or metastatic breast cancer harboring BRCA or other homologous recombination repair pathway mutations, and identify individuals appropriate for treatment with these agents.
  • Appreciate the incidence, characteristics and clinical relevance of HER2-low or HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer, and understand available research findings with HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates for these patients.
  • Interrogate published Phase III research findings documenting the efficacy of TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates for metastatic breast cancer to determine the current clinical applicability of these approaches.
  • Assess the mechanisms of action of, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for localized and metastatic breast cancer.
