Activity Details

Quarterly Brief (October - December, 2018): A Current Expert Analysis on Important HIV Clinical Decisions

Activity Summary:
New frontiers for HIV therapy continue to be explored, as underscored by the clinical development and use of new agents, changing regimen strategies and development of long-acting novel agents. This expanding era of simplified and effective HIV therapy presents physicians with many new opportunities and challenges for providing care. To deliver state-of-the-art HIV prevention and care, healthcare providers must stay informed regularly of new clinical data and treatment recommendations in HIV.

These educational Quarterly Briefs will discuss changing guidelines, evolving treatment options, and side-effect considerations in the management of patients with HIV as well as an update on HIV prevention.

Pulmonary Hypertension for Urgent Care / Emergency Providers

Activity Details

Pulmonary Hypertension for Urgent Care / Emergency Providers

Activity Summary:
Research shows that there is as much as a 2-year median lag between the time patients present with symptoms associated with PAH and a definitive diagnosis through right-heart catheterization. Millions of patients are seen annually in emergency and urgent care settings, often as their single point of contact with the US healthcare system.

These educational mini modules will outline the hallmarks of various forms of pulmonary hypertension, including PAH, in the hopes of triggering earlier referral for specific screening and diagnostic testing. In addition, recommendations for dealing with the already diagnosed PAH patient who presents for emergent/urgent care will be discussed.

Clinicians who treat patients with PAH need to integrate a wide range of diagnostic and treatment strategies into their clinical management armamentarium.

These educational Mini Modules will outline recent advances in diagnostic and prognostic imaging techniques for patients with PAH, the role of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in the management of PAH, and the characteristics that distinguish the clinical entity known as combined pre- and post-capillary PH (Cpc-PH) from other types of PH/PAH.

Quality of Life and Patient-Reported Outcomes in PAH

Activity Details

Quality of Life and Patient-Reported Outcomes in PAH

Activity Summary:
The goal of PAH therapy should be not merely to lengthen a patient’s lifespan, but to allow them to fully participate in day-to-day activities. Traditional methods of monitoring patient progress on therapy and/or disease progression often overlook aspects of living that are most important to the patient. In addition, patients often are reluctant to discuss these matters with their clinicians.

These educational mini modules will outline quality-of-life measurements and patient-reported outcomes in PAH, how those measures intersect with traditional clinical outcomes, and how those measurements can be applied to clinical practice.

Thrombocytopenia in Chronic Liver Disease

Activity Details

Thrombocytopenia in Chronic Liver Disease

Activity Summary:
Thrombocytopenia is a common manifestation among patients with chronic liver disease. In the setting of advanced liver disease, thrombocytopenia may negatively impact patient care by interfering with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The development of thrombopoietin agonists has the potential to provide clinicians with new options to improve patient care. However, current guidelines provide limited guidance on the optimal approach to increase platelet counts in patients with chronic liver disease.

These educational Mini Modules will outline the pathophysiologic mechanisms, platelet threshold levels, and other factors that impact the decision to initiate treatment for thrombocytopenia. In addition, the benefits and limitations of current and emerging therapeutic options will be discussed.

New Directions in the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis: CFTR Modulator Therapy

Activity Details

New Directions in the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis: CFTR Modulator Therapy

Activity Summary:
The introduction of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy represented a true break¬through in overcoming the genetic defects underlying cystic fibrosis (CF). Small-molecule therapy with a single agent, and a combination of that agent with a second complementary agent, has successfully improved meaningful clinical outcomes in patients with specific CF genotypes. This success has led to intensive research and development efforts to expand treatment options to broader populations of CF patients. As new agents become available, clinicians will need to make informed decisions about selecting appropriate therapy for individual CF patients.

These educational Mini Modules will outline the use of current CFTR modulator therapies, expectations for addressing unmet clinical needs with new therapies, and issues around integrating new therapies into clinical practice.

Challenges and Approaches to Adherence with CFTR Modulator Therapy

Activity Details

Challenges and Approaches to Adherence with CFTR Modulator Therapy

Activity Summary:
Recently, modulators of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) have been introduced as new therapy options for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Initial clinical experience with these agents indicates that their administration can be challenging to manage, being associated with adverse reactions in some patients. Some patients also have difficulty maintaining adherence to dosing regimens required for CFTR modulators and regimens involving co-administration of other chronic CF therapies.

This educational Mini Module will outline practical, clinically applicable approaches for minimizing and managing adverse events associated with CFTR modulators and for optimizing adherence.
