Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are causally related to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)—justifying the guidance from multiple professional societies that emphasize the importance of lowering LDL-C to reduce cardiovascular risk. Despite the availability of nearly ten different classes of medications indicated to lower cholesterol levels, dyslipidemia is not appropriately managed for many patients, resulting in target LDL-C goals not being achieved. In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, experts discuss targeted therapies to optimize lipid management, including primary and secondary prevention of CV events, with PCSK9-targeting therapies (in particular, PCSK9 antibodies and novel small interfering RNAs). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply current hyperlipidemia treatment guidelines for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with ASCVD; Assess the efficacy and safety data for PCSK9-targeting therapies for hyperlipidemia management in patients with ASCVD risk enhancers; and Describe the mechanism of action and ability of PCSK9-targeting therapies to optimize treatment for high-risk ASCVD patients on maximally tolerated doses of statins or for statin-intolerant patients

How much do you know about non-factor therapies in the prophylactic management of hemophilia? Test your knowledge and earn credit, as you get the latest evidence and expert guidance on integrating these therapies into individualized management plans for adult and pediatric patients with hemophilia. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss current unmet needs and barriers to optimal prophylaxis of hemophilia; Summarize the MOAs and latest safety/efficacy evidence supporting the use of novel and emerging antibody and siRNA therapies for the prophylaxis of HA and HB; Develop personalized prophylactic regimens with novel and emerging antibody and siRNA therapies, including in the context of clinical trials, for the management of HA and HB; and Manage practical aspects of care when using novel non-factor agents, including dosing/scheduling, patient education, adherence, monitoring, and adverse events.

Mounting evidence continues to elucidate the clinical potential of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) in the treatment of patients with lung cancer. ADCs are now transitioning from research settings to clinical practice, with the first approval of a novel HER2-targeting ADC, trastuzumab deruxtecan, for HER2-mutated NSCLC. In addition, various other potent ADCs targeting HER3, TROP2, CEACAM5, c-MET, AXL, ROR2, and others are being evaluated in clinical trials in different disease settings, including in patients with advanced NSCLC with and without actionable genomic alterations, and they are showing impressive activity. How do we realize the promise of these ADCs as the next frontier in precision lung cancer care? What are the best ways to apply the emerging science to patient care decisions in everyday practice? These and other key questions are addressed in this activity, which is based on a recent live symposium and produced in collaboration with the LUNGevity Foundation to highlight patient perspectives alongside those of clinicians. Leading experts in the field share their interpretations of the latest practice-changing evidence and provide practical guidance using real-world case scenarios to demonstrate how to maximize beneficial patient outcomes using ADCs. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss the modern composition, rationale for use, and clinical potential of novel ADCs in NSCLC; Compare the characteristics, efficacy/safety, and ongoing investigations of novel ADCs in NSCLC; Apply the latest evidence and guidelines on patient assessment in NSCLC, including biomarker testing as indicated, to identify patients for targeted therapies, including novel ADCs; and Utilize best practices for identifying and managing treatment-related adverse events in patients receiving targeted therapies for NSCLC to promote optimal adherence, outcomes, and quality of life
