In this activity, a panel of multiple myeloma experts discuss the recent changes in the multiple myeloma (MM) treatment landscape that have occurred at “warp speed” by focusing on the emergence of novel antibodies, cellular therapy, and targeted strategies across the MM treatment continuum. Throughout, the panelists engage in dedicated Tumor Board sessions designed to illustrate how professionals can apply evidence that can lead to improved patient outcomes in diverse MM patient populations and treatment settings. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Cite evidence surrounding the efficacy of regimens with novel proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, antibodies, targeted therapies, and cell therapies across multiple myeloma (MM) treatment settings, including smoldering MM, newly diagnosed MM, and relapsed/refractory MM, Select evidence-based regimens with novel components for the management of patients with newly diagnosed MM, Develop treatment plans for relapsed/refractory MM that integrate novel antibody, targeted, and CAR-T options, Manage the unique toxicities associated with innovative therapeutics in patients with MM, including cytopenias, infusion-related events, ocular toxicity, and cytokine release syndrome, among others.

As the treatment landscape for gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers continues to evolve, patients with these heterogenous and aggressive malignancies are benefiting from improved outcomes. Targeted therapies, such as anti-angiogenic agents, have had a beneficial role in the second-line gastric and GEJ cancer settings after prior fluoropyrimidine- or platinum-containing chemotherapy, while novel combinations with anti-angiogenesis agents, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy are showing promise in clinical trials. Furthermore, first-line therapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in combination with chemotherapy recently demonstrated improved outcomes over chemotherapy alone, and these data led to an FDA approval that is ushering in a new immunotherapy-based standard of care in the frontline treatment of newly diagnosed gastric and GEJ cancers. Join PeerView for an innovative, case-based activity designed to bring participants the latest data on established targeted therapies and emerging combination strategies for patients with gastric and GEJ cancers and expert guidance on incorporating treatment advances into day-to-day clinical practice. With a focus on multidisciplinary care of patients with gastric and GEJ cancers, the faculty panel will address selection and sequencing of treatment regimens along with symptom management, psychological support, nutritional considerations, and a variety of other issues that affect patients’ quality of life and outcomes. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Evaluate the latest clinical evidence on established targeted therapies (eg, anti-angiogenic agents) and emerging combination strategies (eg, with chemotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors) for patients with advanced gastric or GEJ cancer, Discuss the clinical implications of recently approved and emerging first-line treatment strategies in the settings of advanced gastric or GEJ cancer that take into consideration the potential impact of treatment selection and sequencing beyond first-line therapy, Implement a tailored approach to treatment selection and sequencing over multiple lines of therapy, based on the latest clinical evidence, current practice guidelines, and patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific factors, for patients with advanced gastric or GEJ cancer, Integrate multidisciplinary, interprofessional, and holistic care strategies that address nutritional needs, emotional and psychological concerns, treatment-related adverse events, the risk of disease progression, and other issues into the management of patients with advanced gastric or GEJ cancer.

Modern management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been transformed by innovative therapeutics, including BTK and BCL-2 inhibitors, in a range of patient populations and treatment settings—but what is the next step? In this activity, an expert clinician addresses that question and reviews evidence on emerging targeted options and novel combination strategies likely to affect patient care. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss genetic/molecular, clinical, or patient-related factors that can guide therapeutic selection in patients with treatment-naïve or relapsed/refractory CLL, Summarize current safety and efficacy evidence related to the use of novel and emerging therapeutics, including BTK, PI3K, and BCL-2 inhibitors and novel antibodies, across the spectrum of CLL, Select personalized initial or sequential treatment regimens with novel and emerging components for patients with treatment-naïve or relapsed/refractory CLL, including in the context of a clinical trial.

In this activity, two expert nurse panelists use case-based teaching to illustrate solutions to clinical challenges associated with nursing care in the modern acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment landscape in which innovative therapies (including targeted agents, newer cytotoxics, and epigenetic approaches) are now core patient treatment strategies. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Identify the clinical signs of AML, relevant prognostic factors, and patient- or disease-related features that influence treatment selection, Discuss efficacy and safety evidence surrounding novel cytotoxic, targeted, and epigenetic therapies for AML, Develop educational strategies for patients with AML related to therapeutic expectations, adherence, safety considerations, sequential treatments, and differences among novel agent classes, Manage dosing and safety considerations for patients with AML receiving novel cytotoxic, targeted, and epigenetic therapies.
