CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gynecologic cancers.
  
  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  The pace of oncology drug development has accelerated in recent years to previously unmatched levels. Fueled by an increased understanding of the biologic underpinnings of tumor development and disease progression, clinical research platforms largely focused on evaluating the potential benefits of novel targeted agents with unique mechanisms of action and safety profiles have led to improved outcomes in myriad large and rigorous clinical trials across many different cancer types. The successes yielded by this rational approach to the design and evaluation of new therapies have in turn provided oncology healthcare professionals and patients with many additional and beneficial FDA-endorsed treatment options. In particular, a plethora of extremely promising data sets have emerged relating to the use of immunotherapy and other novel agents in the management of gynecologic cancers (ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer). Existing management algorithms for these diseases are poised for further change, and it is critical that continuing education be offered to all practitioners involved in patient care.
  
  This CME program developed from a virtual satellite symposium originally planned for the 2020 SGO Annual Meeting features discussions with leading gynecology oncology investigators regarding cases from their practices, survey results and published data that drive clinical decision-making. By providing information on the latest research developments and their potential application to routine practice, this activity is designed to assist medical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists and other healthcare providers with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe the biologic rationale for, published research data with and ongoing evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancer, and identify patients who may be eligible for this strategy in or outside of a clinical research setting.
  • Appraise the clinical research findings supporting the FDA approval of anti-PD-1 monotherapy for PD-L1-positive, progressive metastatic cervical cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about the risks and potential benefits of this treatment approach.
  • Recall available data with and ongoing investigation of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, either alone or in combination with other targeted agents, for patients with gynecologic cancers.
  • Design and implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancer in order to support quality of life and continuation of therapy.
  • Review the mechanisms of action, emerging efficacy data and toxicity profiles of novel antibody-drug conjugates under investigation for advanced cervical cancer.
