CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gastroesophageal cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe published research data with immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with other systemic therapies in the management of metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal cancers, and optimally integrate these strategies into current treatment algorithms.
  • Assess available data with approved and investigational Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) monoclonal antibody therapy-based combination approaches as first-line treatment for HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer, and consider this information for current patient care.
  • Review published and emerging research findings with novel HER2-targeted therapeutic approaches for HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancers, and assess their nonresearch role in patient care.
  • Evaluate available treatment strategies for patients with gastric cancer and multiple biomarkers, such as HER2, PD-L1and CLDN18.2, and assess for optimal sequencing of available targeted therapies.
  • Recall strategies commonly employed to mitigate and manage gastrointestinal side effects of CLDN18.2 monoclonal antibody-targeted therapy, and use this information to appropriately intervene when these side effects are suspected or diagnosed.
