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 metastatic breast cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise the efficacy and safety of CDK4/6 inhibitors for HR-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) to appropriately counsel patients regarding the optimal clinical use of these agents.
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations in patients with HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations in progressive HR-positive, HER2-negative disease.
  • Understand the mechanism of action, published research findings with and current and future clinical role of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders for patients with relapsed/refractory HR-positive mBC.
  • Evaluate research findings to effectively inform the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents and regimens for patients with HER2-positive mBC.
  • Review data supporting the use of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Assess the efficacy of PARP inhibitors for patients with mBC harboring BRCA or other homologous recombination repair pathway mutations, and appropriately identify candidates for treatment with these agents.
  • Appreciate the incidence, characteristics and clinical relevance of HER2-low mBC, and understand available management approaches for patients with this disease subset.
  • Review research findings documenting the efficacy of TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates for patients with mBC to determine the current and future clinical applicability of these approaches.
  • Assess the biological rationale for, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for mBC.
