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 urothelial bladder cancer.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize how biological and patient-specific factors including eligibility to receive platinum-based chemotherapy influence the selection and sequencing of treatment for metastatic urothelial bladder carcinoma (mUBC).
  • Review available clinical trial evidence with immune checkpoint inhibitors as monotherapy or as maintenance after platinum-based chemotherapy in the treatment of newly diagnosed mUBC, and determine the current utility of these agents in clinical practice.
  • Appreciate the biological rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with chemotherapy or other systemic agents with established efficacy for UBC (eg, antibody-drug conjugates [ADCs]) and assess the current and potential future role of these regimens in the care of individuals with the disease.
  • Recall pivotal clinical trial findings leading to the FDA approval of novel compounds (eg, ADCs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) with unique mechanisms of action for previously treated locally advanced UBC or mUBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with these approaches would be appropriate.
  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with HER2-directed therapies for patients with HER2-positive UBC, and contemplate the current utility of these agents for appropriately selected individuals.
  • Develop an understanding of the biological rationale for, available research findings with, and ongoing studies evaluating promising investigational agents and strategies for mUBC.
