Activity Summary:

Patients with interferon gamma (IFN-γ) driven diseases such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) face significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, with delays in diagnosis and limited effective treatments often resulting in poor outcomes. Despite advances in understanding the role of IFN-γ in these conditions, there remains an unmet need for more precise diagnostic tools and faster, targeted therapies to manage the hyperinflammatory states that characterize these diseases.

Activity Summary:
Patients with plexiform neurofibromas (PN) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) experience considerable morbidity, a poor quality of life, and increased mortality. Research efforts have led to earlier diagnosis, new monitoring approaches, emerging treatment options, and considerations for surgical intervention. To this end, it is critical that pediatric oncologists as well as other members of the multidisciplinary team neurologists caring for patients with NF1-PN are up to date on recent advances. In this podcast lecture library, Dr. Armstrong uses a case-based discussion to address the heterogeneity and complexity of this condition as well as considerations for the use of emerging therapies when making individualized management decisions among diverse patients.

Activity Summary:
Clinical Viewpoints MF includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data in myelofibrosis. Slides are developed and updated throughout the year by leading MF expert physicians. All content is reviewed and approved by the Clinical Viewpoints MF Planning Committee.

Myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal proliferation of myeloid cells, bone marrow fibrosis and cytopenias, extramedullary hematopoiesis and hepatosplenomegaly, increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and systemic symptoms. Patients with MF also have a propensity toward leukemic transformation. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHCT) is the only curative therapy for patients with MF; however, transplant-related morbidity and mortality precludes this option for the majority of patients. In the last decade, four targeted therapies have been approved for the treatment of MF, all JAK2 inhibitors, ruxolitinib, fedratinib, pacritinib, and momelotinib. Moreover, there are a number of novel therapeutic targets with drug candidates in late-stage (phase II or III) clinical development for the treatment of MF. This case-based slide kit discusses the pathophysiology, burden diagnosis, current and future treatment strategies, risk stratification, adverse events associated with therapies as well as the importance of patient-centered care.

Updated information is noted on the slide in the upper right hand corner. Please note that participants who have previously claimed credit for this activity should not claim duplicate credit based on the updates.

Activity Summary:
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder defined by a significantly reduced number of platelets in blood circulation. Due to low levels of platelets, ITP is associated with frequent bruising and bleeding. Current evidence suggests that low platelet counts in ITP are the result of multiple factors. Heterogeneity in patient population and characteristics make it challenging for the clinicians to choose appropriate therapeutic regimen. Clinicians must make decisions on the basis of the clinical presentation of each individual patient, ideally through a shared decision-making process that considers the patient’s values and preferences with respect to the anticipated outcomes of the chosen option.

During this accredited continuing education series of four (4) podcasts, Dr. James Bussel and Dr. Cindy Neunert discuss emerging evidence for management strategies for ITP, including utilization of patient reported outcomes and shared decision making to improve outcomes.
