The modern management of multiple myeloma (MM) continues to be transformed by the emergence and further integration of different antibody-based approaches into patient management. How can professionals exploit these advances while using the principles of shared decision-making when caring for patients? In this activity, two hematologist-oncologists and a patient advocate explore these themes through a case-based discussion of novel antibody platforms in a range of MM treatment settings. Learners can expect insights on the safety and efficacy evidence supporting the use of antibody-based therapies in newly diagnosed and relapsed MM, along with practical guidance for safe delivery of care, and strategies for engaging with patients when developing treatment plans that include antibody components. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize current evidence and guideline recommendations surrounding the use of novel antibody platforms in multiple myeloma (MM); Integrate established and emerging antibody options, including monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, into treatment plans for patients with MM based on guideline recommendations and the latest clinical data; Address practical aspects of antibody therapy in MM, including unique safety considerations and effective sequential treatment; and Counsel patients with MM on dosing, safety, drug delivery, and therapeutic expectations with novel antibodies when engaging in shared decision-making discussions.

Who holds the key that can unlock the door to vision-saving treatments for patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME)? The answer is primary diabetes care professionals: Timely screening and referral to eye care professionals can make a real difference between good vision and blindness for patients with DR/DME. The diagnosis and treatment of DR/DME has advanced greatly in the last decade. What can endocrinologists, diabetologists, and primary diabetes care professionals tell their patients to expect when they meet with a retina specialist? In this activity, based on a recent PeerView Live event, leading experts take a well-rounded look at the screening, diagnosis, and referral for treatment of individuals with DR/DME, including a practical review of the evidence for current and emerging treatment options. The experts discuss patient cases with varying degrees of urgency for referral, offering a glimpse into how decisions made by primary diabetes care professionals can speed access to the appropriate eye care professional to directly benefit and improve outcomes for patients with, or at risk for, DR/DME. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the roles of diabetes specialists in the screening and referral process for DR/DME and other diabetic eye diseases; Coordinate timely and appropriate referrals to eye care specialists who can utilize effective treatment regimens for DR/DME and other diabetic eye diseases; and Incorporate interprofessional and multidisciplinary strategies to overcome barriers to referral using an integrated system of care approach for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of vision-threatening diabetic eye complications such as DR/DME.

Yelena Y. Janjigian, MD - Moving the Treatment of Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancers Forward: How Can We Maximize the Benefits of Novel Immunotherapy Approaches?

Go online to PeerView.com/NTS860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Recently approved immunotherapy options have revolutionized the treatment of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers (eg, gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [ESCC]), which have traditionally been associated with poor outcomes due to late detection, high heterogeneity, and limited response to chemotherapy and targeted treatments. With clinical trials validating the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibition across multiple lines of therapy and regardless of PD-L1 expression, nivolumab and pembrolizumab have become standards of care in the frontline setting as part of various combinations, and nivolumab monotherapy has been approved in patients with ESCC after previous chemotherapy. Recently, nivolumab plus ipilimumab became the first chemotherapy-free combination to gain approval for frontline use in patients with ESCC. In light of these treatment advances, do you know how to select among the different immunotherapy options and determine the best therapeutic approach for each of your patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers? Hear from the experts on which biomarkers and other factors are/are not helpful in guiding clinical decisions, and how you can bring your patients the latest cutting-edge therapies backed by robust evidence. Also, learn from illustrative cases discussed by the faculty on how to apply the current data to practice. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers (ie, gastric, GEJ, or esophageal cancer) who may benefit from recently approved immunotherapy options based on efficacy and safety evidence; Incorporate recently approved immunotherapy options into treatment plans for eligible patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers across multiple lines of therapy; and Apply a team approach to optimize the use of immunotherapy, including strategies to promptly recognize and manage immune-related adverse event, in patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.
