The latest stroke statistics estimate that about 800,000 individuals in the United States experience a stroke each year. Furthermore, about 20% of all strokes are recurrent, and many of these patients previously experienced a minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Recurrence is greatest within the first 24 to 48 hours, but the risk remains elevated for months, even years, after the initial event. The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA) recently updated their guidelines for stroke prevention to include expanded and detailed recommendations for the use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), the combination of aspirin and clopidogrel or ticagrelor, to further reduce the risk of stroke. These guidelines also include specific recommendations for individuals with minor acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or a TIA. In this activity based on a recent satellite symposium in New Orleans, leading experts on stroke management highlight the current guideline recommendations and discuss the latest perspectives on DAPT before transitioning to patient case scenarios where each expert demonstrates how these advances can be translated into clinical practice to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, while accounting for bleeding risks, antiplatelet resistance, and patient adherence. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Identify individuals with AIS or TIA who are appropriate candidates for treatment with antiplatelet therapy to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, Assess the benefits and risks of using P2Y12 inhibitors with aspirin as DAPT for the prevention of recurrent stroke, Apply DAPT with P2Y12 inhibitors in appropriate patients following symptom onset to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, Employ patient-centered communication strategies to facilitate adherence to DAPT with P2Y12 inhibitors in appropriate patients with AIS or TIA to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.

The therapeutic landscape of bladder cancer has undergone a significant transformation with the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to the treatment armamentarium. In addition, the research on actionable targets has led to regulatory approval of the FGFR-targeted therapy, erdafitinib, for FGFR mutation–positive bladder tumors, as well as the antibody–drug conjugates enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan. Further, novel bladder preservation opportunities and important combination approaches expand the therapeutic capacity across the disease spectrum available to patients with bladder cancer. In this PeerView activity, developed in collaboration with the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, a panel of leading bladder cancer experts will pair important analyses of the latest evidence on a new generation of therapeutics with practical insights that can be used to guide therapeutic decision-making in the clinic. This CME/MOC-certified activity highlights strategies for optimal care of patients with bladder cancer in light of current evidence on and indications for use of immune, targeted, and antibody-based therapies and guidance on safely integrating these agents into treatment plans. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Incorporate the latest clinical evidence, describe the current therapeutic roles and mechanistic rationales of novel systemic therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, and antibody–drug conjugates, across bladder cancer settings and patient populations (eg, localized or metastatic), Develop personalized treatment plans for patients with localized or metastatic bladder cancer that incorporate novel agents, updated guideline recommendations, and patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific factors, Employ evidence-based, collaborative strategies to mitigate and manage treatment-related AEs in patients receiving novel systemic therapies for bladder cancer.
