Accreditation/Credit Designation

Physicians’ Education Resource®, LLC, is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Physicians’ Education Resource®, LLC, designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Leveraging Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Cancer Care: Evolving Approaches to Bridge Clinical Gaps in Breast, GI, and Lung Tumors, Virtual, United States (21/09/2021–21/09/2021) has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) for 1 European CME credit (ECMEC®). Specialists should claim only those hours of credit that are commensurate with their participation in the activity.

Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the conversion process can be found at www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities.

Live educational activities occurring outside of Canada that are recognized by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1), as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

EACCME® credits

Each participant can only receive the number of credits he/she is entitled to according to his/her actual participation in the event once he/she has completed the feedback form. See criteria 9 and 23 of UEMS 2016.20.

In order to help you issue individual certificates to each participant, please find below the breakdown of ECMEC®s per day: 21.09.2021 - 1.00

The EACCME® awards ECMEC®s on the basis of 1 ECMEC® for one hour of CME, with a maximum of 8 ECMEC®s per day. See Chapter X of UEMS 2016.20.

Leveraging Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Cancer Care: Evolving Approaches to Bridge Clinical Gaps in Breast, GI, and Lung Tumors

Release Date: November 30, 2021
Expiration Date: November 30, 2022

Activity Overview

 
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprise a monoclonal antibody linked to a cytotoxic agent that targets tumor cells while sparing healthy cells. Currently, 3 ADCs targeting HER2 and TROP2 are approved for the treatment of patients with solid tumors, and several others are in various stages of development in clinical trials. Adverse events commonly associated with ADCs include interstitial lung disease, which require prompt interventions and mitigation strategies so that patients are able to derive optimal benefit from their therapies without interruptions or discontinuations.

This Community Practice Connection™ program provides an in-depth review of some of the key highlights from a live virtual symposium held on September 21, 2021. This unique and engaging multimedia activity is ideal for the community-based clinician and focuses on the practical aspects of utilizing ADCs for the management of breast, gastrointestinal (GI), and lung cancers, putting recent clinical trial data into clinical context. The program is designed for those who did not attend the live meeting and to help reinforce learnings for those who did.

Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with cancer are also invited to participate.
 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:

  • Explain the mechanistic rationale concerning the role of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in solid tumors
  • Implement best practices for HER2 diagnostic testing to facilitate molecular characterization and selection of HER2-directed therapies in patients with solid tumors
  • Describe ongoing clinical trials and emerging efficacy and safety trial data on the application of novel ADCs in the treatment of patients with solid tumors
  • Formulate strategies to integrate novel ADC approaches into clinical practice for the treatment of patients with solid tumors
