Making Choices, Improving Outcomes in Pediatric ALL: The Role of Modern Asparaginase Compounds

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: November 10, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: November 9, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 30 minutes

Activity Description

The use of asparaginase as a component of multiagent chemotherapy has been clearly linked to optimal outcomes in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) populations. The approval of newer asparaginase formulations and dosing schedules has added to the growing collection of tools that clinicians can use to overcome challenges associated with consistent therapeutic exposure to asparaginase in ALL—but are you up to the task? This customizable, question-based activity covers the use of asparaginase compounds in pediatric ALL, the pitfalls of asparaginase discontinuation, and challenges such as hypersensitivity/silent inactivation. Test yourself and see if your choices will support the effective use of asparaginase as part of modern ALL therapy!

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

New and Emerging Biomarkers in Patient-Centered MS Management: The Future of Personalized Patient Care Begins Now

Activity Description and Educational Objectives

Recent research and improved understanding of the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) has led to the development of multiple biomarkers and imaging modalities that can improve clinicians’ ability to individualize therapy through more effective monitoring of disease progression and treatment response. The promise of eventually arriving at data-driven personalized care—coupled with the number of available and emerging therapies for MS treatment—makes it more important than ever that clinicians remain up-to-date on advances in biomarkers and imaging approaches, as well as shared decision-making strategies.

In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, MS experts cover the latest data on these new and emerging biomarkers for MS management. Using examples from their own practice, the panelists also discuss ways to incorporate these biomarker findings into individualized treatment decisions to empower patients and improve treatment outcomes.

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

• Describe emerging biomarkers that may play a role in evaluating MS disease activity, progression, and treatment response
• Individualize treatment decisions for patients with MS, incorporating biomarker findings, disease status, and other patient-specific characteristics
• Integrate team-based shared decision-making strategies to facilitate appropriate treatment selection, empower patients, and improve outcomes

Can a Novel DMT Class Deliver Better Outcomes in MS? Considering the Potential of BTK Inhibition

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: June 1, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: June 30, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Optimal management of multiple sclerosis (MS) requires selecting medications that safely and effectively target different aspects of pathophysiology and offer choices in administration, risk/benefit balance, and patient adherence. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors are an emerging class of disease-modifying therapies that affect processes mediated by B cells and myeloid cells, which are contributors to the inflammation and neurodegeneration that drive MS. BTK inhibitors are a novel class in MS management with four agents currently in phase 3 trials. As such, clinicians must remain up to date with the latest data on the rationale for their use and trial findings on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this promising line of treatment.

At a recent PeerView live event, MS experts shared relevant stories from their practice to highlight the rationale for the use of BTK inhibitors in MS, as well as perspectives on potential applications in clinical care and the latest data from clinical trials on BTK inhibition.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of neurologists, nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Educational Objectives

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

• Explain the rationale for investigating the potential of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition in multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment
• Assess emerging evidence on the risks and benefits associated with BTK inhibitors in late-stage clinical trials for the treatment of MS
• Identify patients who might be candidates for treatment with a BTK inhibitor, based on available data as well as individual patient characteristics and priorities
