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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize the frequency of BRCA1/2 and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutations in patients with prostate cancer, and develop a rational clinical algorithm to guide the use, selection and timing of HRR mutational analysis.
  • Assess the pharmacologic, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic similarities and differences among the approved and investigational PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer to better understand the activity and toxicities associated with these agents.
  • Understand the rationale for combining PARP inhibitors with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) for patients with prostate cancer.
  • Evaluate published research findings with PARP inhibitors in combination with ARPIs for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and identify patients for whom these regimens would be appropriate.
  • Review clinical trial results leading to the FDA approval of PARP inhibitors as monotherapy and in combination with ARPIs for patients with BRCA1/2-mutated hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer, and discern how to optimally incorporate this strategy into current clinical management algorithms.
  • Recognize the potential side effects of PARP inhibitor-based therapy for prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage toxicities.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review available research findings 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, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Appreciate the incidence and clinical implications of ESR1 mutations in endocrine-resistant mBC and determine the appropriate timing of and platforms to test for these abnormalities.
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT/PTEN pathway abnormalities in patients with HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to document and subsequently target these aberrations in individuals with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory disease.
  • Interrogate published research findings documenting the efficacy of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1 mutation-positive mBC experiencing disease progression on standard endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in order to optimally integrate these agents into the care of appropriately selected individuals.
  • Review available and emerging research data evaluating the role of serial ESR1 testing using circulating tumor DNA to inform early therapeutic switching in patients with HR-positive mBC receiving CDK4/6 inhibitor-based first-line therapy, and consider the potential role of this novel strategy.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize established mechanisms of resistance to endocrine therapy in HR-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and use this information to personalize treatment for patients with progressive disease.
  • Understand the biological rationale for and mechanism of action of investigational proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) estrogen receptor (ER) degraders in order to recognize the similarities and differences between these compounds and other endocrine therapies.
  • Interrogate available research documenting the efficacy of PROTAC ER degraders for patients with HR-positive mBC who experience disease progression on standard endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and consider the appropriate potential role of these agents in disease management.
  • Appreciate the side effects associated with investigational PROTAC ER degraders, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment with these agents.
  • Assess ongoing clinical studies evaluating novel PROTAC ER degraders under development for HR-positive mBC, and counsel patients about the potential benefits of trial participation.
