TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of genitourinary cancers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current management of localized or metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Explore available data with treatment intensification for hormone-sensitive localized or metastatic prostate cancer, and effectively integrate FDA-approved strategies into current clinical management algorithms.
  • Assess the available research database supporting PARP inhibitors in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into current clinical management algorithms.
  • Appreciate the biological rationale for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway for prostate cancer, and evaluate available data with novel AKT inhibitors in combination with hormonal therapy for patients with PTEN deficiency.
  • Review available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for metastatic prostate cancer, and consider the current and potential future clinical role of these strategies.
  • Optimize the management of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), considering the efficacy and tolerability of FDA-endorsed and other emerging novel therapeutic strategies.
  • Appraise clinical research findings with perioperative anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy alone and in combination with antibody-drug conjugate therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
  • Develop an understanding of the clinical relevance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for MIBC, and evaluate available research data documenting the benefit of adjuvant anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for patients who are ctDNA positive following cystectomy.
  • Appreciate how various clinical and biological factors, including prior therapeutic exposure, affect the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (UBC).
  • Develop a rational approach to the sequencing of systemic therapies for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), incorporating immunotherapeutic agents, multikinase inhibitors, HIF-2α inhibitors or combinations of these approaches.
  • Appreciate published clinical research findings evaluating available and investigational agents for non-clear cell RCC, and consider the applicability of these strategies in current clinical care.
  • Recall available and emerging data with other novel and investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for prostate cancer, UBC and RCC, and refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate available clinical trial findings evaluating anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (MM), and consider the role of this novel treatment strategy.
  • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM eligible and ineligible for stem cell transplant, and use this information to optimize therapeutic recommendations.
  • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice sequencing of established and novel agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM.
  • Evaluate published research findings to identify patients with R/R MM for whom treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) should be considered or recommended.
  • Assess available research data with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM to appropriately integrate these agents into current clinical algorithms.
  • Recall recently presented clinical research findings establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy for patients with R/R MM.
  • Analyze the mechanism of action of, published and emerging efficacy and safety findings with and ongoing research efforts evaluating cereblon E3 ligase modulators to prepare for the potential clinical availability of these agents for patients with R/R MM.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage class-effect and agent-specific toxicities associated with therapies commonly employed for MM.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate available clinical trial findings evaluating anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (MM), and consider the role of this novel treatment strategy.
  • Appreciate clinical trial data informing the front-line use of monoclonal antibody therapy directed at CD38 for patients with MM eligible and ineligible for stem cell transplant, and use this information to optimize therapeutic recommendations.
  • Consider published research findings and other clinical factors in the best-practice sequencing of established and novel agents and regimens in the care of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM.
  • Evaluate published research findings to identify patients with R/R MM for whom treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) should be considered or recommended.
  • Assess available research data with BCMA- and non-BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies for MM to appropriately integrate these agents into current clinical algorithms.
  • Recall recently presented clinical research findings establishing the definitive efficacy of BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugate therapy for patients with R/R MM.
  • Analyze the mechanism of action of, published and emerging efficacy and safety findings with and ongoing research efforts evaluating cereblon E3 ligase modulators to prepare for the potential clinical availability of these agents for patients with R/R MM.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage class-effect and agent-specific toxicities associated with therapies commonly employed for MM.

This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers 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 NMIBC, and optimally incorporate these approaches into the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Assess the biological rationale for, available research findings with and potential role of promising investigational agents for NMIBC and MIBC.
