Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of urothelial bladder cancer and prostate cancer.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to
- Evaluate the published research supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, including for patients who experience biochemical recurrence after local therapy, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options.
- Explore available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and effectively integrate these strategies into clinical management algorithms.
- Appreciate the biological rationale for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in prostate cancer, and evaluate available and emerging data with novel AKT inhibitors in combination with hormonal therapy for patients with mHSPC and PTEN deficiency.
- Assess the available research database with PARP inhibitors as monotherapy or in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into clinical management algorithms.
- Review available and emerging Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and consider the current and potential clinical role of these strategies.
- Analyze the biological basis for the investigation of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in nonmetastatic urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), and evaluate available and emerging data documenting the efficacy and safety of these therapeutic approaches for patients with BCG-unresponsive and BCG-naïve non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive disease.
- Examine available clinical trial evidence with novel intravesical therapies under evaluation for nonmetastatic UBC, and determine the potential utility of these approaches for appropriately selected patients.
- Recognize the biological rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with chemotherapy or other systemic agents with established efficacy in UBC, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and discuss the role of these regimens with patients about to begin first-line therapy.
- Reflect on pivotal clinical trial findings with novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, such as ADCs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and identify patients for whom treatment with these approaches would be appropriate.
- Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer and UBC, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
