Anjali Tiku Owens, MD - Removing Obstructions for Improved HCM Care: Leveling Up Diagnosis and Management in General Cardiology Practice
Go online to PeerView.com/UBM860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease, with a mortality rate estimated to be about three times greater than that experienced by individuals of similar age without HCM. So far, the FDA has approved only one noninvasive treatment option indicated for the treatment of HCM—a first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI) called mavacamten. A second CMI, aficamten, is currently being studied. As timely diagnosis of patients with HCM may reduce or delay the need for invasive treatment, these treatment options are essential for cardiologists to understand. This PeerView activity covers what you need to know about diagnosing and managing HCM for optimal patient care. A patient case threads through each section and offers a window into real-world diagnostic and treatment challenges as our expert shares guidance and the latest evidence. By the end of this activity, you will be able to explain the underlying pathophysiology of HCM, apply your new knowledge for timely diagnosis and individualized treatment of HCM, and implement strategies for long-term patient safety and improved outcomes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply current guidance and the latest evidence to support accurate differential diagnosis and encourage early treatment in patients suspected of having HCM; Evaluate the efficacy and safety evidence supporting the ability of modern targeted strategies to address the underlying pathophysiology of HCM; Individualize treatment of HCM based on patients' personal preferences and goals of care and identify opportunities to reduce inequities; and Implement strategies that encourage and support regular assessment of clinical status, LVEF, and LVOT gradient in patients with HCM, consulting with specialty colleagues as needed.

Stephen V. Liu, MD - A Bold Frontier: Shattering the Limits of Conventional Therapies and Reshaping the Future of Lung Cancer Treatment With TROP2-Targeting ADCs and Rational Combinations
Go online to PeerView.com/WFX860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent unique, potent, and promising new options in the lung cancer treatment arsenal. Ongoing clinical trials evaluating ADCs, including those directed at trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2), have demonstrated positive preliminary data in lung cancer, and additional results from other studies assessing monotherapy and rational combinatorial options are anticipated in the near future. As advances with TROP2-targeting ADCs continue, it is crucial for oncologists and other professionals involved in the care of patients with lung cancer to gain knowledge of the rationale, characteristics, efficacy, and different adverse event profiles of these novel therapies. They must also develop the necessary skills to enable rapid adoption of these therapies into their clinical practice should they receive regulatory approval. This educational activity, based on a recent live symposium, comprehensively analyzes the most recent evidence supporting the use of TROP2-targeting ADCs and combinations in lung cancer. In addition, practical guidance for effectively utilizing ADCs and recognizing and managing adverse events associated with these novel therapies is provided, along with perspectives on their potential impact within the lung cancer treatment arsenal. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the biology of TROP2, rationale for its therapeutic targeting, and the structure, characteristics, and mechanism of action of TROP2-targeting ADCs under investigation in lung cancer; Evaluate the different monotherapy or combinatorial treatment strategies with TROP2-targeting ADCs being investigated in first- and later-line settings in lung cancer, and available efficacy and safety data from these trials; and Integrate TROP2-targeting ADCs into treatment plans of appropriately selected patients with lung cancer in the context of clinical trials or clinical practice, if approved/available, considering the supporting evidence, expert recommendations, efficacy and safety profiles of the different agents, and patient needs and preferences.

Jaime Almandoz, MD, MBA, FTOS - Leading the Charge to Change the Obesity Narrative: Supporting Primary Care to Improve Weight Management Discussions, Diagnosis, and Decisions
Go online to PeerView.com/XZP860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. In the United States, the prevalence of obesity has been steadily increasing. Despite the number of obesity specialists in the United States multiplying five-fold from 2011 to 2019, there is an inadequate number of trained professionals to treat all people requiring obesity-targeted care. Primary care is often the first and only touch point for many people with obesity (PwO), and there is a need to equip and prepare primary care professionals (PCPs) to treat this patient population with empathetic, effective, and evidence-based obesity-targeted care. This PeerView Train-the-Trainer MasterClass activity combines concise overviews of essential evidence with training resources to help you, as an obesity specialist, lead the charge to educate your PCP colleagues. Using practical exercises, experts provide guidance on strategies and tactics you can use to create your own training workshop for PCPs. In addition to the Train-the-Trainer video, participants also have free access to a slide library, surveys, and practice aids to create their own independent training workshop. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Address misperceptions and weight biases held by many PCPs to minimize the downstream effects and complications in people with obesity; and Assist PCPs in combating clinical inertia and encouraging early intervention in people with or at risk for obesity
