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 biliary tract cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Discuss the biological justification for the evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs) and develop strategies to optimally incorporate anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based approaches into the care of patients with these diseases.
  • Recognize the molecular heterogeneity of cholangiocarcinomas and other biliary tract cancers, and appreciate the biological rationale for efforts to exploit documented abnormalities in patients with these diseases.
  • Assess key datasets supporting the recent FDA approvals of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors for previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement to optimally select and sequence these agents.
  • Develop an understanding of available clinical trial findings supporting the use of IDH inhibitors for patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma and an IDH1 mutation in order to determine the applicability of this therapeutic strategy to current clinical practice.
  • Evaluate available and emerging clinical trial findings with HER2-directed therapies in patients with HER2-positive biliary tract cancers, and contemplate the current and potential future utility of these agents for appropriately selected individuals.
  • Assess the scientific rationale for targeting the MDM2-p53 pathway for patients with advanced biliary tract cancers and understand the mechanisms of action, available data and ongoing studies with novel MDM2-p53 antagonists.
  • Recall available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for biliary tract cancers, and refer eligible patients for trial participation.
