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:
Clinical Viewpoints PH-ILD includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data in pulmonary hypertension due to interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). Slides are developed and updated throughout the year by leading pulmonology expert physicians. All content is reviewed and approved by the Clinical Viewpoints PH-ILD Planning Committee.

The incidence of PH is known to increase among patients with ILD over the course of disease, however, there is a significant overlap of symptoms between fibrotic lung disease and PH. This is known to result in delayed detection and diagnosis. Clinicians need education on the signs and symptoms and how to screen for and detect PH early among patients with ILD. Although right heart catheterization is required to confirm the diagnosis of PH-ILD, other non-invasive and invasive approaches are useful in enabling an early and accurate diagnosis. Additionally, while there have been new insights into assessing and predicting the severity of PH among patients with ILD, mild PH among patients with ILD has been associated with poor outcomes. Identifying patients that have mild PH is therefore pivotal to improving outcomes with treatment. The development and approval of inhaled treprostinil has been an important milestone in PH-ILD. Indeed, new evidence and updates from ongoing clinical trials continue to be presented and published for the treatment of PH-ILD. To improve confidence among practitioners regarding the use of inhaled treprostinil, it is critical that they are abreast with the latest evidence and expert insights. In this on-demand video presentation Dr. Aaron Waxman will walk through examples of using and optimizing inhaled treprostinil therapy in clinical cases.

Activity Summary:
In this podcast series, Drs. Andrew Armstrong and Tanya Dorff will clarify the rationale and best-practice approaches for HRRm testing to guide therapeutic strategies in metastatic prostate cancer. Clinical case scenarios are used to enhance the learning experience and provide practical considerations to achieve improved outcomes among patients.

Activity Summary:
The most recent guidelines recommend germline and/or somatic homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene panel testing to identify patients with metastatic prostate cancer that can benefit from poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, HRR gene mutation (HRRm) testing rates are low and as a result, many patients with metastatic prostate cancer are unable to avail of these new therapies that have the potential to improve survival outcomes. This has been attributed to limited awareness about testing, inadequate sample, challenges with reimbursement, lack of patient counseling, and costs. Improving clinician and allied healthcare professional familiarity with HRRm testing guidelines and implementation recommendations, is therefore of utmost importance.

In these Mini Modules, Drs. Andrew Armstrong and Tanya Dorff use a discussion and case-based format to clarify the rationale for HRRm testing in metastatic prostate cancer and ensure better integration of the latest guidelines for testing by addressing barriers. The overall aim is to enable appropriate utilization of HRRm testing to ultimately improve outcomes among patients.

Activity Summary:
Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome and a growing problem, in terms of both the number of patients affected, its associated clinical consequences and its implications for health care expenditure. HF is recognized as the ultimate pathway of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Importantly, rapid ageing of the population means that the incidence of HF shall increase further in the coming years. Preventing the development of this condition in the population at large, in order to reduce hospital readmission rates, its other clinical sequelae and its economic consequences, is a key issue in modern medicine. Appropriate HF treatment can have the greatest influence on prolonging patients' lives in the coming year. Typically, HF is a common and insidious disease with substantial associated morbidity and mortality burden worldwide. This has led to a significant focus on improving treatments and medical therapy for this condition.

This podcast will provide expert interpretation of recent clinical trial evidence for CV risk reduction in people with HF, examining results of new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of HF presented at the 73rd Annual Scientific Session & Expo of American College of Cardiology (ACC 2024), April 6-8, Atlanta, GA.
