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 cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Effectively apply results of practice-changing clinical research to the care of patients with cancer.
  • Appraise the clinical relevance of recent pivotal cancer research published in peer-reviewed journals or presented at major oncology conferences.
  • Use an understanding of tumor biomarkers and single and multigene signatures to individualize the care of patients with cancer.
  • Educate patients with diverse hematologic cancers and solid tumors about the benefits and risks of new therapeutic agents and strategies.
  • Apply an awareness of new datasets and the perspectives of tumor-specific clinical investigators to refine or validate current treatment algorithms.
  • Evaluate the mechanisms of action, tolerability and efficacy of promising investigational agents, and consider the implications for clinical practice.
  • Recall ongoing trials of therapies for select hematologic cancers and solid tumors, and appropriately refer patients for study participation.

    • Historical data establishing the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel for patients with previously untreated advanced PAD
    • Proposed mechanism of improved delivery of cytotoxic therapy to pancreatic cancer cells with nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) compared to conventional chemotherapy
    • Key efficacy and safety outcomes reported with nal-IRI, fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) and oxaliplatin (NALIRIFOX) versus gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel for previously untreated metastatic PAD
    • FDA approval of up-front NALIRIFOX for patients with metastatic PAD; selection of optimal candidates for this regimen

    MODULE 3: Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Metastatic PAD

    • Key factors influencing the selection and sequencing of available therapies for R/R metastatic PAD
    • Long-term efficacy and safety findings with nal-IRI in combination with 5-FU/LV after disease progression on gemcitabine-based therapy
    • Patient selection for and practical integration of nal-IRI in the R/R setting
    • Other evidence-based chemotherapeutic agents or regimens for patients with progressive metastatic PAD

    MODULE 4: Tolerability and Other Practical Considerations with Nanoliposomal Irinotecan (Nal-IRI) and Other Cytotoxic Approaches

    • Comparative tolerability/toxicity profile of NALIRIFOX and other commonly employed first-line regimens, such as FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel
    • Rates of diarrhea and other gastrointestinal (GI) issues documented with nal-IRI; indications for prophylactic antidiarrheals and antiemetics for patients who are about to start treatment
    • Incidence and severity of cytopenias with nal-IRI; role of growth factor use and appropriate monitoring of complete blood counts during therapy
    • Recommended dosing of nal-IRI as part of the first-line NALIRIFOX regimen versus in the R/R setting
    • Effect of dose adjustment on the efficacy of first-line NALIRIFOX; implications for the feasibility of tolerability-guided dosing strategies

    MODULE 5: Novel Strategies Targeting RAS Mutations in Advanced PAD

    • Incidence and spectrum of RAS mutations in PAD; impact on patient outcomes
    • Mechanism of antitumor activity of the RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitor daraxonrasib and rationale for its investigation in advanced PAD
    • Early efficacy outcomes with daraxonrasib as monotherapy and in combination with gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel for patients with previously treated and treatment-naïve advanced PAD harboring RAS mutations
    • FDA breakthrough therapy designation for daraxonrasib for previously treated KRAS G12-mutant advanced PAD
    • Ongoing and planned Phase III trials of daraxonrasib alone or in combination with chemotherapy for patients with PAD

    MODULE 6: Tolerability of RAS-Targeted Therapies Under Investigation for Advanced PAD

    • Incidence, time to onset and severity of GI side effects (eg, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis/mucositis, liver enzyme elevations) with daraxonrasib for patients with PAD
    • Spectrum, incidence and severity of daraxonrasib-associated dermatologic issues, including rash, dry skin, paronychia and others
    • Strategies to mitigate, monitor for and manage potential treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) with daraxonrasib should it become available
    • Impact on the tolerability of daraxonrasib when combined with chemotherapy

    MODULE 7: Potential Utility of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in the Management of PAD

    • Mechanism of action of TTFields and biological rationale for their investigation in PAD
    • Antitumor activity reported with TTFields in combination with gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel as first-line treatment for unresectable, locally advanced PAD
    • Recent FDA approval of TTFields for locally advanced PAD; integration into clinical algorithms

    MODULE 8: Tolerability and Other Practical Considerations with TTFields

    • Components of the TTFields system; placement of arrays for patients with PAD
    • Appropriate skin preparation prior to array placement and during array changes with TTFields
    • Spectrum, incidence and severity of dermatologic AEs documented with TTFields; appropriate mitigation and management strategies
