Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, especially in women. The disease causes progressive damage to multiple organ systems and reduces quality of life. Improving your understanding of SLE heterogeneity at the clinical and mechanistic level can drive significant improvements across the care spectrum. In this expert-driven activity, you will hear the latest clinical evidence presented during the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2022 Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark, with regard to the current treatment options for SLE and the potential for TYK2 inhibitors to change SLE management. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize the burden of SLE and the impact of delayed or suboptimal treatment on patient outcomes; Describe the mechanistic rationale and recent safety and efficacy data supporting a role for targeting TYK2 and BTK as potential therapeutic approaches in SLE; and Identify SLE patients who might benefit from emerging TYK2 and BTK inhibition strategies through clinical trial enrollment and recognizing potential implications for a future treatment paradigm.

The therapeutic landscape of bladder cancer has undergone a significant transformation with the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to the treatment armamentarium. With a key role in the treatment and maintenance of recurrent disease, as well as in first-line maintenance of newly diagnosed disease, the research on actionable targets in bladder cancer has led to regulatory approval of the FGFR-targeted therapy erdafitinib for FGFR mutation-positive bladder tumors, and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). Additional advances have occurred in the localized disease setting such as novel bladder-sparing and perioperative approaches, as well as the first regulatory approval of adjuvant immunotherapy in high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer. In light of these developments, the challenge for urology professionals is how to best blend the diverse clinical evidence for these agents with the realities of real-world cancer care. Further, important combination approaches expand the therapeutic capacity available to patients with bladder cancer. This CME-certified activity will highlight strategies for optimal care for managing patients with bladder cancer in light of current evidence and guidance on safely integrating these agents into treatment plans. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify patients with early-stage bladder cancer who could potentially benefit from the use of novel therapeutic strategies in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings (ie, NMIBC and MIBC) based on recent approvals, clinical evidence, and ongoing trials; Integrate therapeutic strategies into management protocols for eligible patients with metastatic bladder cancer based on regulatory status and treatment roles of emerging therapeutic classes (ie, immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, and antibody–drug conjugates), including in the context of clinical trials; Develop appropriate strategies to mitigate and manage the unique adverse events associated with the variety of novel and emerging therapeutic classes for the management of bladder cancer.

Solid organ transplant recipients may be at increased risk for COVID-19 because they are immunosuppressed and less likely to mount effective immune responses to vaccination. In this educational symposium based on a live event, a panel of expert faculty address the identification of transplant patients who would likely derive benefit from anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and strategies that can be used to overcome barriers to COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis access. In addition, they provide guidance on mAb qualities and clinical profiles and shared decision-making strategies to customize mAb pre-exposure prophylaxis at the point of care for transplant recipients needing protection against COVID-19. After participating in this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to: Identify post-transplant patients who would likely derive benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis with anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs); Use strategies to overcome barriers to COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis access for post-transplant patients; and Incorporate evidence-based recommendations and guidelines, mAb qualities and clinical profiles, and shared decision-making into strategies to customize mAb pre-exposure prophylaxis at point of care for post-transplant patients needing protection against COVID-19.
