CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of urothelial bladder cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with urothelial bladder cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Identify available clinical trial data supporting the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates for the treatment of urothelial bladder carcinoma (UBC) to determine the current utility of these agents in clinical practice.
    • Consider the recent FDA approval of pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ with or without papillary tumors who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy and effectively identify individuals appropriate for this novel treatment approach.
    • Evaluate available and emerging data and ongoing research studies investigating the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for individuals with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and determine the current and potential future role of these strategies.
    • Review available clinical trial data evaluating the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated metastatic UBC, and consider the role of this approach in routine practice.
    • Describe the frequency of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) abnormalities in patients with UBC, and recognize the FDA approval of erdafitinib for individuals with advanced UBC and susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations whose disease has progressed during or after at least 1 line of platinum-containing chemotherapy.
    • Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with enfortumab vedotin alone or in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel agent would be appropriate.
    • Educate patients about the side effects and toxicities associated with approved therapies commonly employed in the management of UBC, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
    • Identify opportunities to enhance the collaborative role of oncology nurses in the comprehensive biopsychosocial care of patients with UBC to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
