CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the biologic rationale for, available data with and potential long-term benefits of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC).
  • Evaluate published efficacy and safety data with the use of PARP inhibitors for mTNBC harboring a germline BRCA1/2 mutation or other DNA repair pathway abnormality, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these findings for nonresearch clinical care.
  • Assess the biologic rationale for, latest findings with and clinical implications of combining PARP inhibitors with other systemic agents (eg, chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors) in the treatment of BC.
  • Appraise available data supporting the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy combined with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed PD-L1-positive mTNBC, and use this information to identify patients who may be appropriate for this approach in clinical practice.
  • Assess the biologic rationale for ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with other systemic therapies for mTNBC to effectively communicate to patients the potential benefits of trial participation.
  • Understand the mechanisms of action of, early data on and ongoing research with other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for TNBC.
