MODULE 1: HER2-Positive Breast Cancer (BC)

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Rationale for administering neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST)
  • Importance of age, nodal status and planned surgical approach in the use of NST for patients with HER2-positive BC
  • FDA indication for pertuzumab as a component of NST; selection of a chemotherapy partner
  • Monitoring patients for cardiac side effects during adjuvant anti-HER2 therapy; care considerations for patients receiving anthracycline versus nonanthracycline regimens
  • Potential implications of the positive Phase III APHINITY trial results for the use of pertuzumab as a component of adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-positive early BC
  • Available data with and potential clinical role of neratinib as extended adjuvant therapy
  • Common side effects observed with neratinib; potential strategies to mitigate associated gastrointestinal toxicity
  • Ongoing trials evaluating novel anti-HER2 approaches in early disease settings
  • Clinical factors influencing the sequencing of anti-HER2 agents in the metastatic setting
  • Available data with and current clinical role of combined endocrine and anti-HER2 blockade for patients with ER-positive, HER2-positive metastatic BC
  • Ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with HER2-positive BC

MODULE 2: ER-Positive, HER2-Negative BC

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Use of genomic assays to guide decision-making on the selection and duration of treatment in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings
  • Clinical factors influencing the use of extended adjuvant endocrine therapy
  • Optimizing first-line systemic therapy for patients with metastatic ER-positive BC; impact of prior hormonal therapy, symptomatology, performance status and disease-free interval
  • Biologic rationale for combining CDK4/6 inhibitors with endocrine therapy
  • Similarities and differences among palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib
  • Available Phase III data with and approved indications for palbociclib and ribociclib
  • Incidence and management of common toxicities associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors
  • Emerging Phase III efficacy and safety findings with abemaciclib in ER-positive metastatic BC; potential clinical role
  • Incorporating everolimus into the treatment algorithm for patients with ER-positive metastatic BC
  • Prevention and management of everolimus-associated mucositis/stomatitis
  • Clinical factors influencing the decision to transition from endocrine treatment to chemotherapy for patients with ER-positive metastatic BC

MODULE 3: Triple-Negative BC (TNBC)

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Clinical factors influencing the decision to administer NST to patients with TNBC
  • Role of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Sequencing therapeutic agents for patients with metastatic TNBC
  • Mechanism of action of eribulin; assessment and mitigation of neuropathic effects
  • Indications for BRCA mutation testing in patients with BC; implications of a BRCA1/2 germline mutation for prognosis and current therapeutic selection
  • Biologic rationale for the evaluation of PARP inhibitors in patients with BRCA1/2 germline mutations
  • Emerging data from the Phase III OLYMPIAD trial comparing olaparib to chemotherapy in the patients with HER2-negative metastatic BC harboring germline BRCA1/2 mutations; potential role of olaparib in clinical practice
  • Ongoing clinical trials of PARP inhibitors (niraparib, veliparib, et cetera) in patients with early and advanced BC
  • Novel strategies and approaches in TNBC:
    • – Androgen receptor assays and the use of antiandrogens (eg, enzalutamide, abiraterone)
    • – Available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies
  • Use of next-generation sequencing to select patients with TNBC for clinical trial participation

Target Audience:
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of breast cancer (BC).

Learning Objectives and Goals:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Apply existing and emerging research data to the diagnostic, therapeutic and supportive care of patients with early and advanced BC.
  • Describe the influence of tumor phenotypes and/or molecular profiling assays in tailoring systemic treatment decisions for patients with early and advanced BC.
  • Discuss the benefits and risks associated with systemic therapies used in the evidence-based treatment of BC, including endocrine agents, chemotherapy regimens and biologic treatments.
  • Develop a plan to manage the side effects associated with commonly employed systemic therapies to support quality of life and continuation of treatment.
  • Assess emerging research on the safety and efficacy of novel agents under development in preparation for the potential availability of these therapies.
  • Recall ongoing trials of other investigational approaches and agents in BC, and refer patients and obtain consent for study participation.
