CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Review available research data supporting the use of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for newly diagnosed PD-L1-positive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and use this information to identify patients who may be appropriate for this approach.
    • Evaluate published research findings, clinical factors (eg, age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure) and patient preferences in the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents for patients with PD-L1-negative TNBC or those who experience disease progression on front-line chemoimmunotherapy.
    • Consider available research data supporting the recent FDA approval of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings for patients with localized TNBC, and reflect on the current role of this strategy in clinical practice.
    • Appraise published efficacy and safety data with PARP inhibitors for patients with metastatic breast cancer harboring BRCA1/2 mutations, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications for nonresearch care.
    • Appreciate available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of adjuvant PARP inhibition for patients with high-risk, HER2-negative localized breast cancer with BRCA mutations, and consider the potential future role of this strategy in clinical practice.
    • Understand the FDA-approved indication for sacituzumab govitecan, and optimally incorporate this novel therapy into current treatment algorithms for patients with relapsed/refractory TNBC.
    • Analyze the mechanisms of action of, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for TNBC.
