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 breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Implement a long-term clinical plan for the management of HER2-positive breast cancer that has progressed on prior treatment for metastatic disease, incorporating current and recently approved treatments.
    • Appraise available research data leading to the recent FDA approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and identify patients who are appropriate candidates for treatment with this drug.
    • Recall the recent label expansion for neratinib and explore the optimal role of this agent in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of progressive HER2-positive mBC.
    • Evaluate the key research data with and the recent FDA approval of tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab/capecitabine for patients with previously treated HER2-positive mBC, including those with central nervous system (CNS) metastases, and optimally incorporate this novel compound into clinical practice.
    • Appreciate available clinical data with and the FDA-approved indication for margetuximab in combination with chemotherapy for previously treated HER2-positive mBC, and optimally integrate the novel agent into the HER2-positive treatment algorithm.
    • Design an optimal approach to the clinical care of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and CNS metastases, considering prior therapeutic exposure, symptomatology and other factors.
    • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with novel anti-HER2 therapies, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment for HER2-positive mBC.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel treatment strategies for HER2-positive mBC, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
