Struggling to manage ATTR-CM? Our faculty are exploring the key considerations shaping current clinical trial design and how innovations might change our approach to the management of ATTR-CM in the future. They'll also discuss the use of outpatient diuretic intensification as a potential endpoint in trials and the ongoing challenge of defining and measuring “clinically meaningful benefit” for patients with ATTR-CM. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and elevate your understanding of ATTR-CM treatment strategies!

The addition of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapies to the treatment armamentarium for endocrine-refractory, HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer has greatly improved outcomes for patients in this setting. However, selecting the appropriate ADC and determining the optimal sequencing of these therapies may be challenging. In this activity, expert faculty in the field of breast cancer review the clinical burden related to endocrine-refractory disease, the role of ADCs in this setting, and best practices for the sequencing of these agents.

There are ongoing clinical trials and approvals for new genetic and non-genetic therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Determining the most suitable therapy for each patient is a developing process. This education covers dystrophin disruption and restoration, recent clinical trial outcomes from different treatment methods, and a case study exploring novel patient management strategies.

In this series, Drs. Nabil Saba and Barbara Burtness review best practices for the use of immune checkpoint therapies in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. They discuss optimizing first-line immunotherapeutic regimens, using biomarkers to determine response to immunotherapy, managing immune-related adverse events, and overcoming barriers to equitable care.

The emergence of the cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) has transformed the treatment landscape for patients with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2−) metastatic breast cancer, with emerging evidence supporting their utility in the early breast cancer (eBC) setting in combination with adjuvant endocrine therapy.

In this educational activity, expert faculty review a clinical case series highlighting the application of CDK4/6 inhibitors in HR+/HER2− eBC, including identification of patients at high risk of recurrence/progression, selection of adjuvant therapy based on the latest clinical evidence and patient-specific factors, and management of treatment-related adverse events. Approaches to recognizing and addressing racial/ethnic health disparities among minority patients will also be discussed, empowering clinicians to make informed decisions that align with achieving health equity.
