EMJ Podcast: Insights For Healthcare Professionals

Katharine Phillips joins host Catherine Glass to explore how brain circuitry, heritability, and visual processing abnormalities contribute to body dysmorphic disorder. Drawing on decades of clinical research, she discusses chronicity, recovery patterns, and how surgeons can better identify patients seeking aesthetic procedures for BDD. This episode unpacks the neurobiological and behavioural roots behind the disorder.

Capivasertib in the Clinic: Strategies to Manage Adverse Events

This content was funded by AstraZeneca, and is intended for US Healthcare Professionals. Expert opinions are shared in this program and may differ from the approved capivasertib (TRUQAP®) labeling. Please see full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information when making treatment decisions.

Indication and Usage

Capivasertib (TRUQAP®) in combination with fulvestrant is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alteration as detected by an FDA-approved test following progression on at least one endocrine-based regimen in the metastatic setting or recurrence on or within 12 months of completing adjuvant therapy.

Description

In this practical, case-based discussion, a breast oncology pharmacist and nurse practitioner walk through how they anticipate and manage the most common adverse events seen with capivasertib in HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

Drawing on real-world clinic workflows, they share stepwise approaches to counseling, prophylaxis, and early intervention for diarrhea, rash, and hyperglycemia, including when to escalate monitoring or treatment and how to coordinate roles across the care team.

You'll hear communication scripts, tips for using tools such as stool diaries and home glucometers, and strategies to keep patients on therapy safely and confidently.
