Activity Summary:
The most recent guidelines recommend germline and/or somatic homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene panel testing to identify patients with metastatic prostate cancer that can benefit from poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, HRR gene mutation (HRRm) testing rates are low and as a result, many patients with metastatic prostate cancer are unable to avail of these new therapies that have the potential to improve survival outcomes. This has been attributed to limited awareness about testing, inadequate sample, challenges with reimbursement, lack of patient counseling, and costs. Improving clinician and allied healthcare professional familiarity with HRRm testing guidelines and implementation recommendations, is therefore of utmost importance.

In these Mini Modules, Drs. Andrew Armstrong and Tanya Dorff use a discussion and case-based format to clarify the rationale for HRRm testing in metastatic prostate cancer and ensure better integration of the latest guidelines for testing by addressing barriers. The overall aim is to enable appropriate utilization of HRRm testing to ultimately improve outcomes among patients.

Activity Summary:
Patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) are associated with poor survival outcomes and are in continual need of more effective therapies. Currently, a multitude of agents including monoclonal antibodies, proteosome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, bispecific antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, and selinexor are available for patients with RRMM. More recently, the bispecific antibodies, teclistamab, elranatamab, and talquetamab have been approved for the treatment of RRMM and are also under investigation in combination with other agents and in different settings of MM.

In this podcast series, leading experts summarize the rationale/mechanism of action and clinical evidence on approved and emerging bispecific antibody therapy in RRMM and aid participants in using these agents safely by using clinical vignettes. The activity also provides guidance on early recognition of key adverse events and strategies to manage them, to ultimately improve outcomes for patients with RRMM.

Activity Summary:
Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome and a growing problem, in terms of both the number of patients affected, its associated clinical consequences and its implications for health care expenditure. HF is recognized as the ultimate pathway of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Importantly, rapid ageing of the population means that the incidence of HF shall increase further in the coming years. Preventing the development of this condition in the population at large, in order to reduce hospital readmission rates, its other clinical sequelae and its economic consequences, is a key issue in modern medicine. Appropriate HF treatment can have the greatest influence on prolonging patients' lives in the coming year. Typically, HF is a common and insidious disease with substantial associated morbidity and mortality burden worldwide. This has led to a significant focus on improving treatments and medical therapy for this condition.

This podcast will provide expert interpretation of recent clinical trial evidence for CV risk reduction in people with HF, examining results of new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of HF presented at the 73rd Annual Scientific Session & Expo of American College of Cardiology (ACC 2024), April 6-8, Atlanta, GA.

Activity Summary:
Adolescents are disproportionately affected by HIV, accounting for approximately one in five new HIV infections in the United States. The expanded options for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in adolescents provides clinicians with additional, effective tools to further reduce the risk of HIV transmission in this group. Once diagnosed, youth with HIV are the least likely out of any age group to be linked to care and achieve viral suppression once on ART.

In this Lecture Library Dr. Fields reviews factors that increase HIV risk in adolescents, HIV/STI screening and prevention considerations in adolescents, and key considerations when prescribing HIV PrEP to adolescents along with the most recent data from AIDS 2024, the 25th International AIDS Conference, and IDWeek 2024.

Activity Summary:
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder defined by a significantly reduced number of platelets in blood circulation. Due to low levels of platelets, ITP is associated with frequent bruising and bleeding. Current evidence suggests that low platelet counts in ITP are the result of multiple factors. Heterogeneity in patient population and characteristics make it challenging for the clinicians to choose appropriate therapeutic regimen. Clinicians must make decisions on the basis of the clinical presentation of each individual patient, ideally through a shared decision-making process that considers the patient’s values and preferences with respect to the anticipated outcomes of the chosen option.

During this accredited continuing education series of four (4) podcasts, Dr. James Bussel and Dr. Cindy Neunert discuss emerging evidence for management strategies for ITP, including utilization of patient reported outcomes and shared decision making to improve outcomes.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) imposes significant impact beyond the lungs, including quality of life, health status, daily activities, physical activity, sleep, and comorbidities such as anxiety and depression. Given the increasing recognition of, and importance attributed to, patients’ and caregivers’ views and preferences on their disease and its management, it is important to identify and understand patients’ perception of COPD symptoms. Additionally, diagnosis and treatment of COPD are rapidly changing. In this on-demand video presentation, our expert faculty review how the understanding and implementation of recent advances is important for delivering optimal patient care.
