Mounting evidence continues to elucidate the clinical potential of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) in the treatment of patients with lung cancer. ADCs are now transitioning from research settings to clinical practice, with the first approval of a novel HER2-targeting ADC, trastuzumab deruxtecan, for HER2-mutated NSCLC. In addition, various other potent ADCs targeting HER3, TROP2, CEACAM5, c-MET, AXL, ROR2, and others are being evaluated in clinical trials in different disease settings, including in patients with advanced NSCLC with and without actionable genomic alterations, and they are showing impressive activity. How do we realize the promise of these ADCs as the next frontier in precision lung cancer care? What are the best ways to apply the emerging science to patient care decisions in everyday practice? These and other key questions are addressed in this activity, which is based on a recent live symposium and produced in collaboration with the LUNGevity Foundation to highlight patient perspectives alongside those of clinicians. Leading experts in the field share their interpretations of the latest practice-changing evidence and provide practical guidance using real-world case scenarios to demonstrate how to maximize beneficial patient outcomes using ADCs. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss the modern composition, rationale for use, and clinical potential of novel ADCs in NSCLC; Compare the characteristics, efficacy/safety, and ongoing investigations of novel ADCs in NSCLC; Apply the latest evidence and guidelines on patient assessment in NSCLC, including biomarker testing as indicated, to identify patients for targeted therapies, including novel ADCs; and Utilize best practices for identifying and managing treatment-related adverse events in patients receiving targeted therapies for NSCLC to promote optimal adherence, outcomes, and quality of life

Ilya M. Nasrallah, MD, PhD - Navigating the New Era of Molecularly Defined Care in Alzheimer’s Disease: Applying Nuclear Medicine to Quantify Neuropathology and Improve Diagnostic Accuracy in the Earliest Stages of the AD Continuum Jul 28, 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating and highly prevalent condition, affecting 10% of people over 65 years of age, and increasing in prevalence as the population ages. Given the heavy economic and social burdens of AD, major emphasis has been placed on finding disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that can address the underlying pathophysiology and prevent, delay, slow, or halt the inexorable decline of AD. Now, after almost two decades without a new AD treatment, recent advances in DMTs, including the accelerated approval from the FDA of two amyloid-targeting therapies (ATTs) and a third in late-stage development, have opened the door to the possibility of reductions in disease progression and improved patient outcomes. In order for these treatments to be successful, initiation in the prodromal or early symptomatic stages of AD is critical. Fortunately, significant advances have been made in the development and validation of molecular imaging techniques that may aid in an early diagnosis. It is therefore imperative that clinicians remain aware of the evolving role of molecular imaging tools (eg, amyloid PET, FDG PET, tau PET) and PET quantification techniques in the early diagnosis of AD, and are prepared to integrate these diagnostic tools into clinical practice. At a recent PeerView educational event, a panel of AD experts illustrated how to integrate validated and emerging neuroimaging biomarkers and quantitative measures into clinical practice to facilitate AD diagnosis. Through a case-based discussion, the faculty offered learners an in-depth look at the complex diagnostic challenges associated with early AD and mild cognitive impairment, and provided practical guidance on effectively and appropriately incorporating these strategies into patient care. You can now watch this on-demand version of the event! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Employ molecular imaging tools to optimize the timely and accurate neuropathological diagnosis of AD; and Apply quantitative analysis to augment the visual interpretation of PET imaging in AD

Vanita R. Aroda, MD - Leveraging Early GLP-1 RA Initiation to Reduce Risks and Improve Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With T2DM Jul 28, 2023

People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) deserve care that is timely and of the appropriate intensity to reduce risks and improve long-term outcomes. To that end, GLP-1 receptor agonists (RAs) must be considered in a new light. Their role has escalated in recent years, including their positioning in treatment, due to their multifaceted mechanisms of action and the collective body of evidence validating their glycemic and extra-glycemic effects. In fact, these agents have consistently demonstrated high glycemic efficacy while reducing cardiovascular and renal risks with a favorable impact on weight and a low risk of hypoglycemia in patients with T2DM. Watch this expert-led activity to learn about GLP-1 RA options and get practical advice for integrating them into personalized care. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Differentiate GLP-1 RAs and other glucose-lowering agents with regard to their current placement in treatment guidelines, glycemic and extra-glycemic effects, safety, ease of administration, and dosing frequency; Identify people with T2DM who would benefit from the glycemic and extra-glycemic effects of GLP-1 RAs to reduce cardiometabolic and renal risks, improve long-term health outcomes, and increase treatment adherence; and Incorporate GLP-1 RAs into personalized treatment regimens early to reduce cardiometabolic and renal risks in people with T2DM

The experts also provide guidance on implementing evidence-based protocols and preventing and managing complications in the context of EHL FVIII therapy. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Assess the latest safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic data among currently approved and emerging EHL FVIII products for prophylaxis of hemophilia A; Develop personalized prophylactic regimens with novel and emerging EHL FVIII products based on patient- and disease-specific factors; and Manage practical aspects of care, such as patient education, adherence counseling, monitoring, and AE management, when using novel and emerging EHL FVIII products for prophylaxis of hemophilia A

Prof. Dr. Martin Dreyling - Taking the Leap in MCL: New Opportunities With BTK Inhibitors and Other Innovative Strategies Jul 28, 2023

BTK inhibitors (BTKi) have transformed the management of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and supplanted the serial use of chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) following progression on standard upfront regimens. Ongoing investigations have recently suggested that BTKi-based regimens, including in combination with CIT or CD20 antibodies, may be effective treatment options in the first-line setting. What does this mean in light of new science that has confirmed a role of non-covalent BTKi and immunotherapy as active sequential options in MCL? In this MasterClass & Case Forum activity, based on a symposium recorded during the 2023 ICML conference in Lugano, a panel of experts uses a blended lecture and case-based approach to provide learners with guidance on the differences between covalent BTKi options that can inform treatment selection and how the migration of BTKi to frontline care may impact subsequent treatment decisions with other BTKi strategies, CAR-T, and bispecific antibodies. View this activity now and adapt your practice to reflect the changing times in MCL! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Cite the mechanistic, selectivity, and relevant safety profiles of first- and second-generation BTKi options with applications in the MCL setting; Summarize the efficacy evidence supporting the use of BTKi and other innovative strategies across the spectrum of MCL, including newly diagnosed and R/R disease; Select optimal upfront and sequential treatment with novel agent classes, including BTKi, for the management of treatment-naïve and R/R MCL; and Develop protocols to address practical aspects of MCL care when using novel therapeutic strategies, including monitoring, patient/caregiver education, adherence, and AE management
