    About this Episode

    Host: Reshma L. Mahtani, DO

    Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression and/or gene amplification is found in up to 20% of breast cancers, whereas 50% have low HER2 expression levels. The natural history of HER2-positive (HER2+) disease has been profoundly transformed by HER2-targeted agents and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). With the recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a novel HER2-directed ADC, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), in both HER2+ and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (MBC), potential treatment options have expanded for these patients.

    For practicing community clinicians, this evolution of HER2-directed therapy and targeting the full spectrum of HER2 expression threatens to add additional complexity in treatment selection and sequencing across lines of therapy. The increasing array of HER2-directed approaches challenges clinicians to stay abreast of clinical data and understand how to implement this evidence in daily practice. This session will assist clinicians in determining how these novel agents fit into treatment paradigms. This educational activity will address the implications of HER2-expression patterns on treatment selection and planning, explore the effective use of evolving therapeutic strategies, and review the latest clinical data on efficacy and safety as well as evidence-based guideline recommendations.

    What Anticoagulation Options Are Available To Optimize Care in the Management of Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation?

    What Anticoagulation Options Are Available To Optimize Care in the Management of Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation?
    Host: Manesh R. Patel, MD
    Host: Sean Pokorney, MD

    Older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are challenging to treat due to concomitant increased risk for both stroke and bleeding and the presence of an increasing number of comorbidities. Data from clinical trials, meta-analyses, and real-world evidence support the relative merits of NOAC therapy compared with conventional anticoagulation in treating elderly patients with AF. This program focuses on the factors and considerations that can drive the choice of anticoagulation therapy for elderly patients with AF, such as comorbidities and associated medications, falling risk, and monitoring and treatment adherence, which may help clinicians optimize the care of their elderly patients with AF.

    Host: Adam Brufsky, MD, PhD
    Host: Christopher M. Gallagher, MD

    Join us as expert faculty, Dr. Adam Brufsky and Dr. Christopher Gallagher, discuss the qualities of credible real world evidence (RWE) publications, application of CDK4/6 inhibitor RWE in hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer, and integrating RWE into everyday clinical decision and shared decision making conversations. This 15-minute activity provides a practical discussion to increase clinician familiarity and comfort with RWE of CDK4/6 inhibitors in metastatic breast cancer and clinicians’ confidence in their ability to discuss RWE with their patients.

    Overcoming Clinical Barriers to LAI Administration: Identification of the Negative Stigma Surrounding the Use of Injectable Antipsychotics
    Host: Christoph U. Correll, MD

    This program will concentrate on practical clinical strategies aimed at utilizing long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics at an earlier stage to improve outcomes for individuals with schizophrenia. These informative episodes will present optimal approaches for overcoming barriers to LAI utilization, identifying patients who would benefit from LAIs across the entire patient spectrum, employing assessment tools to measure patient improvement, and advocating for the early use of LAI antipsychotics as maintenance therapy in suboptimally treated or nonadherent schizophrenia patients.
