Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorder (MOGAD) was identified as a distinct demyelinating disease entity only recently. Prior to this characterization of MOGAD, many patients were considered to have a variant of MS, NMOSD, or other neurologic condition. Now an international panel of experts has proposed diagnostic criteria that, when validated, promise to improve MOGAD diagnostic accuracy and confidence. This is particularly important, given that several clinical trials are investigating potential treatments for MOGAD. This unique PeerView activity will use problem-based educational interventions to expose learners to the science and clinical experience behind accurate diagnosis and best practices in management of MOGAD. You will be able to employ optimal clinical decision-making for your patients with MOGAD that is based on the latest evidence, best practice recommendations, and effective interdisciplinary collaboration. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Explain the diagnostic criteria for MOGAD as proposed by the International MOGAD Panel; Employ recommended diagnostic tools (eg, the MOG antibody test, relevant MRI findings) to identify MOGAD and distinguish it from other demyelinating diseases; and Implement therapeutic strategies to provide acute treatment and relapse prevention in patients with MOGAD.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating and highly prevalent condition, affecting 10% of people over 65 years of age and increasing as the population ages. After almost two decades without a new AD treatment, recent advances in disease-modifying therapies—including the accelerated FDA approval of two amyloid-targeting therapies (ATTs) and a third in late-stage development—have introduced the possibility of slowed disease progression and improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, significant advances have been made in identifying and testing biomarkers for AD that may aid in early diagnosis, proper treatment selection, and assessment of therapeutic response. The latter is increasingly important given the need to monitor for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in patients being prescribed ATTs for mild cognitive impairment due to AD or mild AD dementia. With the rapid developments in AD assessment and treatment, it is vitally important to increase awareness of ARIA among healthcare providers. In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, AD experts pair compelling, real-world case scenarios with practice-changing evidence to illustrate how to select patients for treatment with ATTs, how to discuss the risk of ARIA with patients, and how to monitor, recognize, and manage ARIA in patients once they start treatment. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Select appropriate patients for treatment with amyloid-targeting therapies (ATTs); Appropriately monitor for and manage amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in patients taking ATTs for the treatment of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD); and Implement effective communication strategies to educate patients and caregivers about ARIA.

With the recent approval of multiple novel therapeutics for patients with bladder cancer, oncology professionals have increased opportunities to improve outcomes in a variety of settings. However, not all patients are being given these promising new treatments. Management protocols often do not include the latest strategies, and clinicians often have several questions about incorporating these new agents, which include bladder-sparing options, immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies (FGFR inhibitors), and antibody-drug conjugates, into clinical practice. For instance, will the presence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in some patients linger after the end of therapy and limit the possible subsequent use of ADCs or FGFR inhibitors? To answer these questions, experts in bladder cancer highlight strategies for optimal care of patients in light of current evidence on and indications for use of immune, targeted, and antibody-based therapies and guidance on safely integrating these agents into treatment plans. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize the current roles, mechanisms of action, and key evidence pertaining to novel systemic therapies for patients with localized or metastatic bladder cancer, such as immunotherapies, small molecule targeted therapies, and antibody-drug conjugates, among others, Plan personalized treatment algorithms for patients with localized or metastatic urothelial cancer that incorporate novel and emerging therapies, updated guideline recommendations, and patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific factors, Implement evidence-based strategies and expert recommendations to prevent, mitigate and/or manage treatment-related adverse events that may occur among patients receiving novel systemic therapies for bladder cancer.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined by the presence of recurrent urticaria, angioedema, or both, for a period of 6 weeks or longer. There are several theories regarding the pathogenesis of CSU, none of which have been conclusively established. CSU is a self-limited disorder in most patients, with an average duration of disease of 2 to 5 years; although active CSU significantly impairs quality of life. Second-generation H1 antihistamines (sgAHs) in standard dose are effective in less than 50% of CSU patients. Increasing the dose of sgAHs improves treatment responses; however, every third to fourth patient will still remain symptomatic. Omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, may also be used for effective treatment, as well as cyclosporine. The current guideline-recommended treatment algorithm, though useful, is not perfect. The treatment of patients with CSU should be individualized and take into account the likelihood of patients to respond to therapy, based on predictors of response. By choosing treatment options tailored to a patient’s clinical or biochemical characteristics, treatments that are less likely to be effective may be avoided. In this activity, based on a live symposium held at the AAD Annual Meeting in Boston, a panel of experts will discuss the selection of adequate and relevant tests for the diagnostic workup in CSU and novel treatment options for CSU in the context of mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety. In addition, they will take a closer look at treating CSU in accordance with current evidence and expert recommendations, recognizing that as the era of personalized treatment emerges, the best use for newer agents will be achieved with a deeper understanding of both the phenotype and endotype of each CSU patient. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Select adequate and relevant tests for the diagnostic workup in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) by obtaining a thorough medical history, Discuss how recent insights into the pathogenesis of CSU have led to the development of novel therapeutic targets, Describe novel treatment options for CSU in the context of mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety, Treat CSU in accordance with current evidence and expert recommendations, recognizing that as the era of personalized treatment emerges, the best use for newer agents will be achieved with a deeper understanding of both the phenotype and endotype of each CSU patient.

Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by the inability of the kidneys to excrete potassium sufficiently. Excessive potassium levels can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Hyperkalemia is often encountered in hospitalized patients and frequently recurs after discharge. The problem is further complicated by the fact that guideline-directed medical therapies frequently used to reduce cardiorenal risks in patients with heart failure (HF) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) can increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Newer potassium binders may allow these patients to better tolerate guideline-directed therapies, as well as reduce the risk of hyperkalemia recurrence. Interprofessional models of care, such as those involving the pharmacist in transition-of-care interventions, have also been shown to improve patient outcomes. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, an interprofessional expert panel examines the diagnostic thresholds for hyperkalemia, the factors that contribute to its risk in patients with HF, CKD, or diabetes, and the associations between hyperkalemia and poor patient outcomes.

No single prevention method or approach can stop the HIV epidemic on its own. Several interventions have proved highly effective in reducing the risk of, and protecting against, HIV infection, including male and female condoms, the use of antiretroviral medicines as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the treatment of people living with HIV, to reduce viral load and prevent onward transmission. Despite the availability of this widening array of effective HIV prevention tools and a massive scale-up of HIV treatment in recent years, new infections among adults globally have not decreased sufficiently, and infections have actually increased in the United States among African American gay and bisexual men and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued clinical practice guidelines for PrEP use in the United States, numerous implementation barriers remain, including questions about the effectiveness of PrEP, optimal settings for provision, cost, and the most effective ways to motivate healthcare practitioners to prescribe PrEP. Protocols to identify individuals who are most likely to benefit from PrEP have been developed, but addressing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities poses additional challenges.

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm which can lead to marrow fibrosis, neo-angiogenesis, and osteosclerosis causing progressive splenomegaly with or without hepatomegaly. Currently, the only potential cure for MF is hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, the emergence and validation of JAK inhibitors has impacted treatment decisions, including the timing of HCT, and newer evidence suggests that next-generation JAK inhibitors may also play a role in challenging treatment settings defined by failure of upfront JAK inhibitor therapy. Clinicians therefore should be prepared to develop truly personalized, newer therapeutic strategies for MF management that consider all available options—from targeted agents to supportive care, as well as HCT—and address the role of JAK inhibitors in patients who are transplant candidates and determine their role before and, possibly, after transplantation. In this activity based on a recent live web broadcast, a panel of experts describes the current therapeutic landscape of MF, including JAK inhibitors and HCT.

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which represents a major worldwide burden on public health, particularly in aging populations. Anemia affects the majority of patients with advanced CKD and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, hospitalization, and mortality. Anemia in CKD is predominantly because of a relative deficiency in erythropoietin (EPO) production by the kidney, although concomitant functional and/or absolute iron deficiency and systemic and local inflammation also frequently contribute to its induction and maintenance. The current standard of care for anemia secondary to CKD is the use of injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), alone or in combination with intravenous or oral iron supplementation. While ESAs have been shown to be effective in treating anemia for many patients with CKD, they have some well-recognized limitations. Thus, alternative treatments that limit EPO exposure would be useful additions to the therapeutic armamentarium for anemia in CKD. Stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) via prolyl-hydroxylase (PH) domain inhibition represents a potentially promising new therapeutic approach to treat anemia secondary to CKD. Activation of HIF orchestrates a coordinated response to promote erythropoiesis through the stimulation of endogenous EPO production, increased uptake of iron, and mobilization of iron stores. Indeed, several HIF-PH inhibitors are currently in development for the treatment of anemia in CKD, and available clinical trial data suggest that HIF-PH inhibitors offer a number of advantages over ESAs. In this activity, based on a live symposium, experts offer insight into best practices regarding the treatment of CKD-associated anemia and the important emerging evidence for HIF-PH inhibitors in settings where conventional ESA therapy is often of limited efficacy. Foundational guidance is combined with a discussion of real cases. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Describe the clinical consequences of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), Recognize the rationale for targeting hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilization with HIF prolyl-hydroxylase (PH) inhibitors as a treatment strategy for anemia as a result of CKD, Summarize current clinical trial data regarding the efficacy and safety of HIF-PH inhibitors for the treatment of anemia because of CKD in both nondialysis-dependent and dialysis-dependent patients, Identify patients with anemia because of CKD who would likely derive benefit from treatment with a HIF-PH inhibitor

No single prevention method or approach can stop the HIV epidemic on its own. Several interventions have proved highly effective in reducing the risk of, and protecting against, HIV infection, including male and female condoms, the use of antiretroviral medicines as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the treatment of people living with HIV, to reduce viral load and prevent onward transmission. Despite the availability of this widening array of effective HIV prevention tools and a massive scale-up of HIV treatment in recent years, new infections among adults globally have not decreased sufficiently, and infections have actually increased in the United States among African American gay and bisexual men and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued clinical practice guidelines for PrEP use in the United States, numerous implementation barriers remain, including questions about the effectiveness of PrEP, optimal settings for provision, cost, and the most effective ways to motivate healthcare practitioners to prescribe PrEP. Protocols to identify individuals who are most likely to benefit from PrEP have been developed, but addressing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities poses additional challenges. This activity will marry Dr. Donna Sweet’s personal experiences in clinical utilization of HIV prevention strategies with practical, evidence-based guidance for patient care decisions, to provide additional motivation and rationale for participants to review their own current management strategies and adjust them as needed to optimize patient care.
