Robert C. Green, MD, MPH - Revisiting the Role of Genetic Testing in Patients at Risk for Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease: How Will the Latest Evidence and Evolving Management Paradigm Impact Treatment Decisions for Your Patients?

Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) has a substantial genetic component, with heritability estimated to be between 40% and 80%, and the APOE ε4 allele is the strongest individual genetic risk factor for LOAD. Until recently, the APOE genotype test has been primarily used as a research tool and not recommended for clinical use. However, with the recent advances in disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), including several anti–amyloid monoclonal antibodies approved or in late-stage development, it is more important to determine which patients have the APOE ε4 allele and whether these patients are at an elevated risk of developing amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). In this activity, based on a recent live webcast, experts examine the significance of APOE ε4 carrier status on the risk for developing LOAD, as well as the potential implications for patient care, including the increased risk for ARIA in patients taking anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies. They provide guidance on identifying patients who may be candidates for genetic risk testing and share their best practices for interpreting and disclosing APOE test results and providing appropriate genetic counseling to patients and their families. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize the significance of APOE ε4 carrier status on the risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) and the potential implications for patient care; Identify patients who may be candidates for genetic risk testing, and provide guidance on the benefits and limitations of direct-to-consumer testing versus genetic testing that is performed in a healthcare setting; and Interpret and share genetic risk test results with patients and their families in a clear, understandable manner, and tailor genetic counseling services to individual patients’ needs in consultation with other members of the healthcare team.

Stephanie Lee, MD, MPH - Overcoming GVHD Is the Key to Better HCT Outcomes: Guidance on Managing Acute and Chronic Disease

Go online to PeerView.com/CJR860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Preventing and managing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a significant problem in the post–allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) setting. Can a wide range of unique treatment modalities, including costimulatory compounds, targeted agents, and engineered cell therapy, challenge long-standing management protocols in this setting? Find out in this activity, based on a recent live symposium, which features an overview of available and emerging therapeutic options for modern GVHD management as a means to extend the benefits of HCT and provide more effective prophylaxis and treatment. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize current safety/efficacy evidence supporting the use of novel therapeutics for prophylaxis or treatment of acute or chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in the post-transplant setting; Develop management plans with novel and emerging therapeutics for the prophylaxis of GVHD in the post-transplant setting, based on current evidence and practice guidelines; and Integrate novel and emerging therapies into safe, personalized treatment plans for the management of acute or chronic GVHD, including novel combinatorial strategies and/or options for second-line management.

Sean Pokorney, MD, MBA - Episode 4. The Fear Factor: Mitigating Patients’ Concerns About Anticoagulation

Go online to PeerView.com/WQZ_4860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Implementing guideline-recommended anticoagulation therapy is vital to prevent stroke in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). Through a MasterClass series of seven episodes, two expert cardiologists examine risk factors, screening strategies, and data from clinical trials, as well as real-world evidence, to offer best practices to detect and treat AF. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the impact and burden of undiagnosed AF on the prevalence of stroke and other cardiovascular events, and ultimately on the healthcare system and society; Implement interprofessional screening strategies to increase rates of AF diagnosis in at-risk patients, in accordance with guidelines and leveraging advances in technology; and Develop personalized, evidence-based anticoagulant treatment plans for patients diagnosed with AF using clinical trial evidence, current guidelines, real-world data, and individual patient characteristics
