Guest: Karin J. Blakemore, MD
Guest: Emilie L. Vander Haar
Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) can lead to substantial medical challenges for the mother, fetus, and neonate. Diagnosis is often difficult without low platelet counts or frank bleeding. But a mother’s risk for FNAIT can be assessed, and existing and newly emerging therapies can act as preventive measures and improve fetus/neonate outcomes. Join Drs. Karin Blakemore and Emilie Vander Haar as they address many of the issues surrounding the management of FNAIT and offer clear and actionable suggestions for you to bring into your clinical practice.

The Weight of Recurrence: Navigating Multidisciplinary Care Planning in Recurring/Metastatic Cervical Cancer
12/6/2024
Host: Brian Slomovitz, MD
Guest: Robert L. Coleman, MD, FACOG, FACS
In recent years, the treatment landscape for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer has undergone significant shifts with FDA approvals of first-line pembrolizumab plus platinum-doublet with or without bevacizumab and second-line tisotumab vedotin. The introduction of frontline immune checkpoint blockade also added to the challenges faced by clinicians as they choose optimal regimens for their patients. In this online CME activity, Dr. Coleman and Dr. Slomovitz offer strategies for treatment selection and sequencing with immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates for relapsed cervical cancer. Tune in to hear their expert perspectives on biomarker testing, clinical trial evidence, and multidisciplinary management of adverse events associated with these therapies to make sure your patients are getting the most out of these advances.

Poster Pearl: Treating ER+/HER2- mBC with Elacestrant and Endocrine Therapy
11/27/2024
Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP
Guest: Hope S. Rugo, MD, FASCO
While endocrine therapy (ET) and CDK4/6 inhibitors are the standard for treating ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, patients can become resistant to ET. To overcome these resistance mechanisms, the ELEVATE study examines whether combining elacestrant with ET could help address this unmet need. Here to share the preliminary findings from ELEVATE with Dr. Charles Turck is lead study investigator Dr. Hope Rugo. She’s also the Winterhof Distinguished Professor of Breast Oncology and the Director of Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials Education at the University of California, San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.

EMERALD Expert Views: Managing ER+/HER2-, ESR1m mBC Disease Progression Post ET+CDK4/6i
11/26/2024
Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO
Guest: Virginia Kaklamani, MD
Guest: Anne O'Dea, MD
When caring for patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, there’s uncertainty on the optimal second-line sequencing of treatments after disease progression on first-line CDK4/6 inhibition and endocrine therapy. But the findings from the EMERALD trial, which led to the approval of ORSERDU (elacestrant) for patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer after disease progression on endocrine therapy, contribute to our understanding of second-line treatment options. Dive into the results from the EMERALD trial and subgroup analysis with Drs. Virginia Kaklamani and Anne O'Dea. Dr. Kaklamani is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at the UT Health Sciences Center in San Antonio, and Dr. O'Dea is a breast medical oncologist at the University of Kansas Cancer Center.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP
Guest: Erika Hamilton, MD
The ELECTRA trial is seeking to evaluate the combination of elacestrant with abemaciclib in patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer regardless of metastatic site and ESR1 status to see if this could be an all-oral treatment option before using fulvestrant-based combinations or chemotherapy-based regimens. And now, the preliminary results are here. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share what we’ve learned so far from the ELECTRA trial is study investigator Dr. Erika Hamilton.

Guest: Ayman Al-Hendy, MD, PhD, FRCSC, FACOG, CCRP
Guest: Sawsan As-Sanie, MD
GnRH antagonists have emerged as a viable first-line (or subsequent-line) medical therapy for the management of endometriosis. They have proven to be effective and safe, and their use avoids the flare response observed with GnRH agonists. Join Drs. Lee Shulman, Ayman Al-Hendy, and Sawsan As-Sanie as they discuss the estrogen threshold hypothesis from the perspective of GnRH antagonists and delve into clinical data supporting the use of GnRH antagonists in the medical management of endometriosis.

Patient-Centric Tools to Support Shared Decision-Making: Diagnosing and Assessing Endometriosis
8/9/2024
Host: Lee P. Shulman, MD, FACMG, FACOG
Guest: Linda Bradley, MD
Guest: Melissa Simon, MD
The use of validated patient questionnaires, notably the SF-36 and EHP-30 scales, can greatly hasten the suspicion for an endometriosis diagnosis. Coupled with shared decision-making, or SDM, this patient-centered process can help ensure therapeutic adherence. Join Drs. Lee Shulman, Melissa Simon, and Linda Bradley as they discuss how to utilize the SF-36 and EHP-30 questionnaires in clinical practice and explore strategies to facilitate patient-healthcare provider discussions to improve overall short- and long-term patient outcomes.
