Intravitreal treatments have advanced rapidly to become the mainstay of therapy for DR/DME. Anti-VEGF agents and corticosteroid implants have demonstrated efficacy for reducing vision loss from DR/DME and may be administered adjunctively to laser photocoagulation. Increasingly, studies comparing these treatments in combination, in sequence, or in head-to-head trials are becoming available, helping to refine decisions regarding the right therapy for the right patient at the right time. Additionally, new intravitreal treatments offer the potential of even higher efficacy, greater safety, or longer intervals between retreatments. Join our panel of noted retina specialists for an engaging discussion of emerging agents, including a review of recent reported clinical trials and their implications for advancing patient-centered care for DR/DME. The expert dialogue will be complemented by noteworthy insights from a patient with DR/DME who will share her personal insights on diagnosis and treatment. This three-part activity is divided into multiple chapters for ease of navigation and access: Part 1. Great Expectations: What Are We Asking of Patients Undergoing DR/DME Treatment?, Part 2. Seeking a Higher Standard of Care: Advances in Therapy for DR/DME, Part 3. Patient Considerations and Newer Therapies: The Practical Side of Advances in Therapy for DR/DME. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe challenges associated with current intravitreal treatment regimens for DR/DME from the patient perspective, Differentiate the benefits and limitations of current and emerging intravitreal agents for the treatment of DR/DME, Evaluate the evidence for current and emerging intravitreal agents to prevent vision-threatening outcomes in patients with DR/DME, Incorporate a personalized, patient-centered approach to the use of intravitreal therapies in patients with DR/DME.

In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, experts in neurology explore the mechanisms of action of S1PR modulators approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), highlighting the similarities and differences among treatment options and reviewing the efficacy and safety data for these therapies and their potential effects on markers of treatment response or disease progression (eg, brain atrophy, neurofilament protein levels, cognitive test results). The burden, assessment, and management of cognitive impairment in MS, which occurs in over 50% of people with MS and can greatly affect patients’ functioning and quality of life, is also examined in this activity. The expert faculty also present and discuss patient case scenarios, through which they explore best practices in the care of patients with varied disease presentations and clinical contexts. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Describe the mechanisms of action for S1PR modulators approved for the treatment of MS in the context of disease pathophysiology, Recognize the therapeutic effects of S1PR modulators approved for the treatment of MS, including efficacy, safety, and tolerability, and the potential impact on emerging disease state markers (eg, brain atrophy, neurofilament protein, cognition), Use S1PR modulators appropriately, according to current recommendations and evidence, to meet treatment needs of individuals with MS.
