Activity Description

With an increasing body of evidence supporting improved approaches for treating gastroesophageal cancers, oncology professionals can now look beyond conventional treatment options. Today’s clinicians can integrate personalized treatment approaches, including immunotherapy and targeted strategies, based on patient- and disease-specific factors for a superior design of upfront and sequential therapeutic management.

In this educational activity, experts use illustrative case studies to provide an overview of the clinical evidence and guideline recommendations for immunotherapy and targeted agents for gastroesophageal cancers, strategies for creating personalized treatment plans, and guidance on using a holistic and team-based approach to address potential challenges associated with modern therapies.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with gastric/GEJ cancer.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Discuss the latest clinical evidence and guideline recommendations supporting the utilization of immunotherapy and targeted agents for patients with gastric/GEJ cancer
• Develop personalized treatment plans for patients with gastric/GEJ cancer based on current clinical evidence, guideline updates, and patient-specific factors
• Integrate a holistic, team-based approach to prevent and address AEs associated with modern systemic therapies for patients with gastric/GEJ cancer to prevent treatment interruptions/disruptions to care

Roadmap to Success With Immunotherapy's Dynamic Evolution in Metastatic, Locally Advanced, and Early-Stage NSCLC: Multidisciplinary Best Practices for Exemplary Care

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: November 30, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: December 29, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 90 minutes

Activity Description

Since the first approval of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in 2015, the evolution of immunotherapy has drastically changed the lung cancer treatment landscape. There are now many monotherapy and combinatorial options available for patients with metastatic NSCLC, allowing individualized therapy according to various factors. In locally advanced unresectable stage III NSCLC, consolidation immunotherapy following chemoradiation is routinely used, and other ICI-based multimodal approaches are being investigated in clinical trials. Expanding to earlier stages, ICIs have received regulatory approvals in adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and perioperative (both adjuvant and neoadjuvant) settings, changing the standards of care for resectable stage I-III NSCLC. Ongoing studies are expected to further broaden the impact and refine the use of immunotherapy in lung cancer in the near future.

This PeerView educational activity, based on a recent live symposium, provides comprehensive guidance on the evidence-based integration and practical use of current and emerging immunotherapy options as well as leveraging multidisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration in the context of new requirements and changing best practices to improve patient outcomes throughout the NSCLC disease continuum. Experts present illustrative case scenarios to frame in-depth reviews and interpretations of evidence supporting the use of immunotherapies in NSCLC to equip participants with the tools and strategies needed to improve patient outcomes.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, pathologists, advanced practice clinicians, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with NSCLC.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Evaluate the latest evidence supporting the use of current and emerging ICIs and combinations in metastatic, stage III unresectable, and stage I-III resectable NSCLC
• Determine the most appropriate ICI-based treatment approaches for eligible patients with metastatic, stage III unresectable, and stage I-III resectable NSCLC
• Implement best practices for multidisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration and patient-centered care to optimally integrate immunotherapies throughout the NSCLC disease continuum, maximize their benefits, and minimize their risks during treatment and survivorship

Antibody–Drug Conjugates, the Ultimate Weapons Against Solid Tumors: Latest Progress, Future Possibilities, and Implications for Patient Care

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: November 10, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: December 9, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 90 minutes

Activity Description

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), including those targeting HER2, HER3, and TROP2, are an exciting new class of therapies that selectively deliver cytotoxic payloads to cancer cells. Recent regulatory approvals have cemented the role of ADCs in the treatment of various solid tumors, motivating further innovation to expand their use in other tumor types and disease settings. The new ADC era brings hope to patients with unmet needs, and keeping current with the latest advances, applying evidence to practice, mitigating adverse events, and identifying patients eligible to received ADCs in practice and clinical trials are more important than ever.

This PeerView educational activity, based on a recent live symposium, offers expert guidance on how to interpret and apply the latest evidence on HER2-, HER3-, TROP2-targeting, and other ADCs in the treatment of different solid tumors. Strategies for decision-making and optimizing outcomes for patients with cancer who may benefit from ADCs are also discussed, and case-based clinical scenarios highlight the practical considerations related to using ADCs in real-world care settings.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of advanced practitioners in oncology and other clinicians involved in the management of patients with solid tumors.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Describe the rationale for use, mechanisms of action, safety and efficacy profiles based on available clinical evidence, and evolving clinical roles of the different ADCs targeting HER2, HER3, and TROP2 in solid tumors
• Identify patients with solid tumors who might benefit from HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeting ADCs in clinical practice or through clinical trial enrollment
• Integrate approved and emerging therapies such as HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeting ADCs safely and effectively into treatment plans of eligible patients with solid tumors according to the latest evidence and guidelines
• Implement best practices for identifying and managing treatment-related adverse events in patients with solid tumors receiving ADC therapies to promote optimal adherence, outcomes, and quality of life

Reviving the BTK Target in MCL: Recalibrating the Treatment Sequence With Non-Covalent BTK Inhibitors in R/R Disease

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: October 27, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: November 26, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Covalent BTK inhibitors (cBTKi) have transformed the management of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, their efficacy as second-line therapies is often hindered by intolerance and treatment resistance, leading to poor outcomes for many patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease who discontinue cBTKi. Are you prepared to overcome this challenge by developing evidence-based sequential strategies for MCL treatment? Find out how to “revive” the BTK target by joining two MCL experts as they explore the integration of non-covalent BTKi (ncBTKi) in sequential R/R MCL care. Throughout, the experts use robust case discussion and 3D and 2D animations to provide guidance on developing ncBTKi-inclusive treatment plans that deliver safe and highly effective care while extending the clinical benefits of BTKi therapy.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of hematologists, hematologist-oncologists, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians involved in the management of MCL.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Summarize the latest clinical evidence, mechanistic rationale, and current guidelines supporting the use of non-covalent BTKi agents in R/R MCL settings
• Integrate non-covalent BTK inhibitors into modern sequential treatment plans for R/R MCL, including in settings of BTKi-intolerant, or -resistant disease
• Develop collaborative protocols for addressing practical aspects of MCL care, including monitoring, patient education, and management of adverse events, when using BTKi strategies

Removing Obstructions for Improved HCM Care: Leveling Up Diagnosis and Management in General Cardiology Practice

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: October 16, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: October 15, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease, with a mortality rate estimated to be about three times greater than that experienced by individuals of similar age without HCM. So far, the FDA has approved only one noninvasive treatment option indicated for the treatment of HCM—a first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI) called mavacamten. A second CMI, aficamten, is currently being studied. As timely diagnosis of patients with HCM may reduce or delay the need for invasive treatment, these treatment options are essential for cardiologists to understand.

This PeerView activity covers what you need to know about diagnosing and managing HCM for optimal patient care. A patient case threads through each section and offers a window into real-world diagnostic and treatment challenges as our expert shares guidance and the latest evidence. By the end of this activity, you will be able to explain the underlying pathophysiology of HCM, apply your new knowledge for timely diagnosis and individualized treatment of HCM, and implement strategies for long-term patient safety and improved outcomes.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of cardiologists, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with HCM.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Apply current guidance and the latest evidence to support accurate differential diagnosis and encourage early treatment in patients suspected of having HCM
• Evaluate the efficacy and safety evidence supporting the ability of modern targeted strategies to address the underlying pathophysiology of HCM
• Individualize treatment of HCM based on patients' personal preferences and goals of care and identify opportunities to reduce inequities
• Implement strategies that encourage and support regular assessment of clinical status, LVEF, and LVOT gradient in patients with HCM, consulting with specialty colleagues as needed

FcRn Modulation as a Targeted Approach to Myasthenia Gravis Management: From Pathophysiologic Rationale to Practical Application

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: October 7, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: November 6, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 75 minutes

Activity Description

Advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), a rare, chronic autoimmune disorder, have led to the development of new therapeutics that more selectively address the underlying disease process compared with traditional therapies that often left patients with substantial disease and treatment burden. These newer treatments include Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitors that increase immunoglobulin G (IgG) degradation, leading to reduced levels of autoreactive IgG antibodies via differing mechanisms of action and modes of delivery, including intravenous infusion and subcutaneous injection.

In this PeerView “Candid Conversations and Clinical Consults” activity, a neurologist, a clinical pharmacist, and an infusion nurse guide participants through a case-based look at the evolving gMG treatment landscape. The faculty share their expertise and put gMG management into practical context through panel discussions that reflect their unique professional perspectives as members of the gMG care team.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of neurologists, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, infusion nurses, and other clinicians involved in the management of patients with myasthenia gravis.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Assess how the safety, efficacy, and tolerability data related to newer treatment options for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) compare with the corresponding data for traditionally used therapies
• Demonstrate understanding of the rationale and mechanisms for reducing levels of autoreactive IgG antibodies using FcRn-modulating therapies when making gMG treatment decisions
• Implement safe, individualized administration protocols for patients using FcRn-modulating therapy, with consideration for proper infusion procedures, premedications, vaccinations, and treatment cycle timing
