Activity Details

First Steps in HCV Elimination: Improved Screening and Linkage to Care Approaches

Activity Summary:
The Simply Speaking Hepatitis lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

Critical to achieving the elimination of HCV infection is identifying HIV-infected persons with improved screening and surveillance approaches and linking them to HCV care and treatment. These steps will reduce the incidence of HCV, cirrhosis, HCC, liver-related deaths, and retransmission of HCV. These slides will review the changing epidemiology/ demographics of HCV infection and burden of disease and discusses screening and linkage-to-care approaches important to achieving the elimination of HCV infection in the United States.

Activity Summary:
The Simply Speaking PAH lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

Research shows that patients with PAH benefit greatly from early diagnosis and treatment. However, patients often face delays of two years or longer from the onset of symptoms before a definitive diagnosis of PAH is reached. Designed for primary care providers and other non-specialists, this case-based, interactive lecture will cover the basics of the diagnosis of PAH, including discussions of the most-common alternative/incorrect diagnoses received by patients.

Best Practices for HCV Infection Before and After the Cure

Activity Summary:
The Simply Speaking Hepatitis lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

Achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR) is expected to benefit nearly all persons with chronic HCV infection. Despite the recommendation for treatment of nearly all patients with HCV infection, it remains critical for clinicians to understand patient- and disease-related factors that place individuals at risk for HCV-related complications as well as for HCV transmission. It is important that clinicians recognize the unique dimensions of HCV disease and its natural history in these populations when considering HCV regimen options. These slides will use a case-based format to review the contemporary management of HCV infection before and after the cure in treatment-naïve and experienced patients with various comorbidities.

Conversations in NASH: Updates from American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases*

Activity Summary:
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a growing cause of cirrhosis, HCC, and liver transplantation. Treatment options for NASH remain limited. Management of NASH typically focuses on treating liver disease and associated metabolic comorbidities. However, no single treatment approach has proved universally applicable to the general population with NASH. Given the biologic complexity of NASH and its heterogeneity, it is unlikely that only one drug will be sufficient to treat all patients.

These educational Conversations in NASH will discuss the current and future burden of disease due to NASH, the potential noninvasive testing modalities for diagnosis and staging of disease, important management considerations, and the latest clinical data for the treatment of NASH.

Advances in the Management of Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia in Adults - Updated 2/11/20

Activity Summary:
Chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is one of the most common causes of thrombocytopenia in adults. Diagnosis of ITP remains one of exclusion, and differential diagnosis with secondary forms is crucial to exclude other forms of thrombocytopenia, which may require a different therapeutic approach. Furthermore, chronic symptomatic ITP necessitates second-line treatments based on highly individualized considerations. Advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis have led to novel therapeutic targets, such as the thrombopoietin receptor agonists to aid in this personalized approach.

These educational Mini Modules will outline recent data on current and emerging treatment options for chronic ITP, including FcRn and spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

New and Emerging Therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Focus on Jakinibs - Updated 11/26/19

Activity Summary:
Although stringent remission, or at least low disease activity, is the primary goal of RA therapy, many patients do not reach this target. The pathogenesis of RA non-responders remains unidentified and more research is needed to tie the epigenetic, environmental, and therapeutic factors together to optimize treatment response. To this end, development of new therapeutic approaches is an active area of research.

This activity will discuss potential drug targets, clinical needs/limitations of current RA therapy, data of new agents in late-stage clinical development, and the potential impact of new drugs on future management of RA patients.

Updated information is noted on the slide in the upper right-hand corner. Please note that participants who have previously claimed credit for this activity should not claim duplicate credit based on the updates.
