Go online to PeerView.com/ZGP860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. The treatment arsenal for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with and without genomic alterations continues to expand, and novel HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeting antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are showing great promise in improving outcomes in patients who currently have limited options. How should patients who would benefit from these novel ADCs be identified, and does biomarker testing have a role? Where do the HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeting therapies fit within the current treatment arsenal for advanced/metastatic NSCLC, and what is the best way to integrate them into practice? These and other questions are addressed by top experts in this PeerView MasterClass and Practicum. Faculty navigate through the evidence base, provide practical guidance regarding the clinical role and integration of novel ADCs, and discuss illustrative cases to help you better understand how to translate the science to practice and improve patient outcomes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss the clinical importance and biologic rationale for targeting of HER2, HER3, and TROP2 alterations with novel therapies in lung cancer, Review current guidelines and best practices for biomarker testing in patients with NSCLC, Summarize the characteristics, mechanisms of action, latest safety and efficacy findings, and recommendations of emerging HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeted therapies in NSCLC, Integrate individualized treatment plans through different lines of therapy for patients with NSCLC that take into consideration appropriate strategies for biomarker testing/interpretation to identify patients who might benefit from emerging HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeted therapies.

Gregory W. Albers, MD / S. Claiborne “Clay” Johnston, MD, PhD - Mastering the Use of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for Preventing Recurrent Stroke: How Well Do Your Current Strategies Match With the Experts?

Go online to PeerView.com/SPE860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. The latest stroke statistics estimate that about 800,000 individuals in the United States experience a stroke each year. Furthermore, about 20% of all strokes are recurrent, and many of these patients previously experienced a minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Recurrence is greatest within the first 24 to 48 hours, but the risk remains elevated for months, even years, after the initial event. The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA) recently updated their guidelines for stroke prevention to include expanded and detailed recommendations for the use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), the combination of aspirin and clopidogrel or ticagrelor, to further reduce the risk of stroke. These guidelines also include specific recommendations for individuals with minor acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or a TIA. In this activity based on a recent satellite symposium in New Orleans, leading experts on stroke management highlight the current guideline recommendations and discuss the latest perspectives on DAPT before transitioning to patient case scenarios where each expert demonstrates how these advances can be translated into clinical practice to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, while accounting for bleeding risks, antiplatelet resistance, and patient adherence. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Identify individuals with AIS or TIA who are appropriate candidates for treatment with antiplatelet therapy to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, Assess the benefits and risks of using P2Y12 inhibitors with aspirin as DAPT for the prevention of recurrent stroke, Apply DAPT with P2Y12 inhibitors in appropriate patients following symptom onset to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, Employ patient-centered communication strategies to facilitate adherence to DAPT with P2Y12 inhibitors in appropriate patients with AIS or TIA to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.
