Making Choices, Improving Outcomes in Pediatric ALL: The Role of Modern Asparaginase Compounds

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: November 10, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: November 9, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 30 minutes

Activity Description

The use of asparaginase as a component of multiagent chemotherapy has been clearly linked to optimal outcomes in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) populations. The approval of newer asparaginase formulations and dosing schedules has added to the growing collection of tools that clinicians can use to overcome challenges associated with consistent therapeutic exposure to asparaginase in ALL—but are you up to the task? This customizable, question-based activity covers the use of asparaginase compounds in pediatric ALL, the pitfalls of asparaginase discontinuation, and challenges such as hypersensitivity/silent inactivation. Test yourself and see if your choices will support the effective use of asparaginase as part of modern ALL therapy!

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of hematologists, hematologist-oncologists, advanced practice clinicians, pharmacists, other healthcare professionals, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Describe the latest safety and efficacy evidence and unmet medical needs related to the optimal use of asparaginase in pediatric ALL, including the role of novel Erwinia asparaginase compounds
• Develop therapeutic plans for adequate asparaginase exposure that incorporate appropriate dosing, avoidance of truncation/discontinuation, and monitoring for hypersensitivity/toxicity or silent inactivation
• Implement team-based strategies to prevent therapy discontinuation or compromised patient outcomes in pediatric ALL, such as switching to alternative asparaginase formulations

Realizing the Potential of Rapid-Acting Treatments for Depression: Key Clinical Evidence, Practical Considerations, and Best Practices for Individualized, Patient-Centered Care

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: October 12, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: November 11, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Optimal management of depression begins with adequate screening and early introduction of appropriate therapy. However, monoaminergic antidepressant therapies, which are currently considered the standard of care, have several limitations, such as slow therapeutic response times, suboptimal efficacy and remission rates, and adverse effects that may impact patient adherence.

Recent research has focused on novel pathways involved in the etiology of depression, including glutamatergic and GABAergic modulation. For example, neuroactive steroids such as zuranolone act as positive allosteric modulators of the GABA-A receptor. In 2023, zuranolone became the first and only oral therapy to be approved for the treatment of postpartum depression. There have also been advances in glutamatergic antidepressants, with the approval of esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression in 2019 and for depression with acute suicidal ideation or behavior in 2020, as well as the approval of dextromethorphan-bupropion for the treatment of major depressive disorder in 2022.

In order to help clinicians remain abreast of the latest treatment options for depression, PeerView recently held a Candid Conversations & Clinical Consults educational symposium, featuring a panel of psychiatric–mental health nursing faculty. These depression experts paired compelling, real-world case scenarios with practice-changing evidence to illustrate how to integrate novel and emerging treatments for depression into clinical practice, including strategies to identify patients who may benefit from these treatments, and how to use shared decision-making to craft individualized treatment plans. If you couldn’t watch the live event, this on-demand version is available now!

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of psychiatric-mental health nurses, including advanced practice registered nurses, clinical nurse specialists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other clinicians involved in the management of depression.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Explain the mechanisms of action of novel and emerging rapid-acting treatments for depression
• Evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of novel and emerging rapid-acting treatments for depression
• Identify patients with depression who may benefit from new and emerging rapid-acting treatment options
• Engage in shared decision-making to optimize treatment selection considering the latest clinical evidence as well as the patient’s symptoms, preferences, and unmet needs

Now Is the Time to Overcome Therapeutic Inertia in T2D to Achieve Personalized Glycemic and Weight Management Goals

Activity Description and Educational Objectives

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive disease that is largely preventable and entirely treatable. Timely intensification of therapy is a foundational principle of contemporary management of people with T2D since this strategy is associated with better long-term health outcomes. In conjunction with intensified therapy, modest weight loss has been shown to improve overall and long-term health outcomes. In this activity, based on a series of Project ECHO® workshops and produced in collaboration with the American College of Diabetology, you’ll learn best practices for individualizing patient care and intensifying therapy with evidence-based pharmacologic management of T2D with non-insulin glucose-lowering therapies. Now is the time! Watch today to begin adding these practical strategies to your toolbox!

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Intensify treatment in people with T2D consistent with the latest guidelines, available evidence, and shared decision-making principles to control glycemia and weight to optimize outcomes and avoid long-term complications
• Explain the rationale for targeting weight and establish personalized weight loss goals as a treatment priority for comprehensive T2D management
• Counsel people with T2D about the relationship between obesity and diabetes and the importance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight as a T2D treatment priority

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of primary care physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Requirements for Successful Completion
