CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize how biologic and patient-specific factors influence the selection and sequencing of treatment for patients with metastatic urothelial bladder carcinoma (mUBC) who experience disease progression on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
    • Recall the mechanism of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with enfortumab vedotin for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel agent would be appropriate.
    • Recognize the FDA approval of erdafitinib for patients 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, and determine how this agent may be appropriately integrated into clinical practice.
    • Educate patients about the unique side effects and pharmaceutical considerations associated with enfortumab vedotin and with erdafitinib, and develop strategies to prevent, reduce or manage toxicities.
    • Review clinical trial data leading to the recent FDA approval of the anti-PD-L1 antibody avelumab as maintenance therapy after response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with mUBC, and incorporate this novel strategy into management algorithms.
    • Identify opportunities to enhance the collaborative role of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and specialty pharmacists in the comprehensive biopsychosocial care of patients with mUBC to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
