Sara M. Tolaney, MD, MPH - Breaking Down Barriers to Treatment Adherence and Persistence in HR+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer
Go online to PeerView.com/VMP860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Oral anticancer therapies, including CDK4/6 inhibitors, are well established in the treatment of HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer and, with the recent approval of abemaciclib for the treatment of HR+/HER2- early breast cancer, have now moved into earlier disease settings. This activity features strategies for risk assessment and individualized treatment selection for patients with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer, as well as best practices for improving adherence and persistence to ensure patients stay on prescribed therapy by providing patient education, guidance, and appropriately monitoring and managing treatment-related adverse events. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Review the mechanism of action, latest safety and efficacy data, and clinical role of currently approved CDK4/6 inhibitors in HR+/HER2- early breast cancer; Describe disease-, treatment-, management-, patient-related, and other relevant factors that can impact adherence and persistence to oral therapies among patients with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer, including patient perceptions and education, adverse events, care coordination, and collaboration; Apply appropriate strategies to identify, treat, and monitor patients with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer receiving oral CDK4/6 inhibitor therapies to prevent/manage treatment- related adverse events (TRAEs); Integrate effective team-based communication approaches, including shared decision- making, to appropriately educate and engage patients on CDK4/6 inhibitors about TRAEs, collaboratively establish and achieve treatment goals, and maximize adherence and persistence
