SERIES MODERATOR
Neil Love, MD
Research To Practice

Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for renal cell carcinoma. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    MODULE 1: Optimizing Front-Line Decision-Making for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)

    MODULE 2: Sequencing of Therapy for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory RCC; Novel Approaches Under Investigation

    MODULE 3: Practical Considerations with the Use of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for Advanced RCC

Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Learning Objectives

  • Effectively apply research findings and other clinical and biologic factors in the best-practice selection of first-line therapy for patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC).
  • Recall the underlying research database supporting the FDA approval of anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 combination therapy as first-line treatment for mRCC, and develop strategies to appropriately integrate this approach into patient care.
  • Appraise available clinical trial data evaluating approved and investigational anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibody/multikinase inhibitor combinations for previously untreated mRCC, and counsel patients about the risks and benefits of these novel regimens.
  • Develop a rational approach to the sequencing of systemic therapies for patients with advanced RCC that progresses on first-line treatment, incorporating multikinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, immunotherapeutic agents and other formulations.
  • Recognize side effects and toxicities commonly associated with approved and investigational therapeutic approaches, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients with RCC receiving these agents and regimens.
  • Recall available and emerging data with other investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for RCC, and where applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
