Because immune-mediated rare blood disorders are uncommon, healthcare providers often lack the knowledge and experience necessary to identify, diagnose, and treat them in accordance with best practices. As a result, there are significant gaps in care, including delays in diagnosis and suboptimal treatment. To ensure that more patients with these rare disorders are offered quality, evidence-based care, it’s essential that healthcare providers possess up-to-date information about best practices and new developments in this area of medicine. In this activity, composed of 3 podcasts, an expert moderator will interview 3 expert faculty members about evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, developments in the diagnosis and treatment of cold agglutinin disease, and the challenges of achieving enduring remission in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.

Drs. Benjamin Levy and Alex Spira discuss the emerging role of TROP2 as a therapeutic target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on ReachMD. They delve into the mechanisms and clinical implications of TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), highlighting ongoing clinical trials evaluating their safety and efficacy. The conversation covers the potential of these therapies to change treatment paradigms, especially in the context of TROP2 overexpression associated with poor prognosis in lung cancers. They also address the nuances of managing side effects and the importance of understanding TROP2's role in cancer regulation, underscoring the significance of keeping up-to-date with the latest clinical trial data in this rapidly evolving field.

Host: Helena Yu, MD

Dr. Helena Yu of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presents an insightful overview of HER2 targeted therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), emphasizing the critical role of broad molecular profiling in ensuring effective treatment, particularly for the 2-4% of NSCLC patients with HER2 mutations. Dr. Yu highlights the effectiveness of newer antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) such as trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) for NSCLC with HER2 mutations, while also detailing identification and management of potential side effects. Through a patient engagement vignette, she underscores the importance of aligning treatment choices with patient and clinician goals, highlighting shared decision-making in managing HER2-mutant NSCLC.

The therapeutic landscape for gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer is rapidly evolving, with biomarkers directing treatment selection. Recent evidence suggests that the combination of HER2-targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors has synergistic effects, highlighting the importance of the most recent clinical data regarding first-line treatments for advanced or metastatic G/GEJ cancers and the differentiation between HER2-positive and -negative tumors. In addition to HER2, Claudin 18 splice variant 2 (CLDN18.2) has emerged as a new biomarker for targeted treatment. Multiple factors should be considered in first-line treatment selection, including biomarker positivity, performance status, and potential toxicity. In this program, topics presented by expert faculty will illustrate the biomarker-related clinicopathologic features of G/GEJ cancers as well as how to incorporate the latest evidence to individualize first-line treatment for patients with G/GEJ cancers.
