Advances in the Management of Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia in Adults

Activity Details

Advances in the Management of Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia in Adults

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. Topics will also include epidemiology; clinical manifestation (including bleeding, fatigue and impaired health-related quality of life); the importance of a comprehensive and timely diagnostic workup of thrombocytopenia; and considerations for making individualized treatment choices (including dosing and toxicities).

New and Emerging Therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Focus on Jakinibs

Activity Details

New and Emerging Therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Focus on Jakinibs

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.

PrEP is a proven safe and effective adjunctive tool for the primary prevention of HIV infection in the United States. The uptake of PrEP has seen a steady increase since its introduction. Much of this early success is a result of recognizing key lessons learned from clinical trials and demonstration projects. However, it is estimated that only 15% of those who would benefit from PrEP are receiving it. This activity will discuss the lessons learned from demonstration projects and open-label extension studies on approaches to mitigate potential barriers to PrEP uptake and strategies to improve integration of PrEP into existing clinical practices.

Atlanta Breast Cancer Symposium Enduring Video Archive

Activity Summary:
We are pleased to have recently held the Atlanta Breast Cancer Symposium (ABCS) on April 13, 2019 at the InterContinental Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia.

There are multiple professional education opportunities in breast cancer across the country. The difference of the ABCS with others is the emphasis in the molecular basis of breast cancer to be applied from early detection to management of advanced disease, beyond induction treatment.

The objective of the symposium is to educate the oncology community on the rapidly evolving field of breast cancer from molecular biology to the development and clinical application of highly specific molecules to interfere with the cellular machinery allowing the cancer cells to survive, proliferate, and spread.

These certified CME/CE enduring video archives, with panel discussions, provide access to the conference including clinical presentation and interactive panel discussions with the faculty and audience.

We hope you enjoy this activity!
