This presentation will begin by describing the importance and prevalence of FLT3 and IDH mutations in the newly diagnosed elderly AML patients that are not candidates for intensive chemotherapy. Then will discuss the current standard of care options for this patient population. Furthermore, we will discuss the specific inhibitors for both IDH and FLT3 and the literature surrounding those medications. Additionally, we will evaluate the literature for combination therapy for FLT3 inhibitors. Lastly, we will compare the standard treatment options to what we have learned about the FLT3 and IDH inhibitors.

Objectives

  • Identify the role in therapy of IDH1, IDH2, and FLT3 inhibitor targeted therapy in newly diagnosed elderly AML patients
  • Evaluate the safety and efficacy of low intensity combination regimens for IDH1, IDH2, and FLT3 mutations in newly diagnosed elderly AML patients

Gram-negative bacteremia is a common infection treated in the acute setting.  Previously, these infections were treated with antibiotics for 14 days or more.  There is growing evidence that shorter antibiotic durations may be adequate to treat Gram-negative bacteremia.  There is a lack of guideline recommendations for appropriate duration of antibiotic treatment, as well as for transition from IV therapy to oral therapy.  While fluoroquinolones have the most evidence of the oral therapies for Gram-negative bacteremia, data regarding oral beta-lactams will be presented to discuss their possible role for this infection. This presentation will seek to review primary literature to discuss if shorter antibiotic courses are effective for Gram-negative bacteremia.  Additionally, oral antibiotic therapy options will be reviewed and the optimal timing for the IV to oral transition will be presented.

Objectives

  • Identify the most common causative organisms of Gram-negative bacteremia and current guideline recommendations
  • Describe appropriate oral therapies for Gram-negative bacteremia
  • Evaluate when it may be appropriate to transition from IV to oral therapies

There are currently no approved treatment options for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Guidelines recommend considering vitamin E and/or pioglitazone, but also state no firm recommendations can be made surrounding the use of either agent. Many studies have recently been published specifically looking at antidiabetic agents, including DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and SGLT2 inhibitors. These studies have shown promising results for the use of some of these agents. This seminar presentation will focus on reviewing the pathophysiology of NASH and the recent literature available for the management of NASH. The goal of this presentation is for audience members to understand the use of antidiabetic agents for the management of NASH and be able to select appropriate pharmacologic treatment options for patients with NASH.

Objectives

  • Identify the risk factors associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
  • Describe the mechanism of novel antidiabetic agents in relation to the pathophysiology of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
  • Select appropriate pharmacologic treatment options for patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Trilaciclib is a novel, potent, selective, reversible cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor that sustains G1 cell cycle arrest of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells (HSPC). Trilaciclib was approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021 for chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression (CIM) associated with the treatment of small-cell lung cancer. The mechanism of action of trilaciclib will protect HSPC from chemotherapy's toxic effects. While current literature potentially suggests the beneficial effects of trilaciclib, there are still questions that are worth addressing. It is important to ask if trilaciclib could be used in other cancer types, as well as, if trilaciclib poses advantageous to other CIM therapies. The goal of this presentation is to delve into the data that led to FDA approval and address if trilaciclib should be utilized. Studies presented will include the current data on efficacy, safety, cost analysis, and ongoing clinical trials.

Objectives

  • Describe the mechanism of action by which trilaciclib prevents CIM in patients with small cell lung cancer
  • Describe the conclusions of the three hallmark studies leading to the Food and Drug Administration's approval of Trilaciclib
  • Identify the patient characteristics that would constitute trilaciclib as a favorable CIM treatment option

This CE will evaluate literature published after the most recent IDSA and European guidelines for the management of ventilator-associated Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia to determine the current role of inhaled antibiotics in this disease state. The presentation will review current guideline recommendations, limitations associated with the current standard of care, the theoretical benefits of utilizing inhaled aminoglycosides and colistin, and then evaluate literature that assesses patient outcomes in those who receive inhaled antibiotics.

Objectives

  • Discuss the current role of inhaled antibiotics in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
  • Explain the potential benefit of inhaled aminoglycosides and colistin for the treatment of VAP
  • Summarize the different clinical and microbiological outcomes presented in literature associated with inhaled aminoglycosides and colistin for the treatment of VAP to determine their role in therapy

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a medical emergency and guideline-recommended therapy is treatment with a systemic thrombolytic in the setting of hemodynamic compromise with evidence of right heart strain. Historically, PE management guidelines have specifically recommended the thrombolytic alteplase but more recent guidelines, including the 2020 American Society of Hematology and the 2021 CHEST guidelines, now include a more generalized recommendation of "thrombolytic therapy." An alternative thrombolytic, tenecteplase, has shown promise as a potential therapy for PE while offering several theoretical advantages to alteplase. This presentation will review and analyze the major literature surrounding the use of thrombolytics in the treatment of PE with focus on the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase.

Objectives

  • Describe the classifications of pulmonary embolism
  • Compare and contrast studies investigating the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase for the treatment of pulmonary embolism
  • Select an appropriate treatment for a patient presenting with pulmonary embolism

This presentation will focus on the updates to the 2022 heart failure guidelines. It outlines the new treatment recommendations for patients with heart failure and compare these recommendations to the previous heart failure guidelines. The presentation will summarize the literature for using SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heat failure that has led to adding SGLT2 inhibitors as part of guideline mediated therapy for this patient population.

Objectives

  • Classify heart failure based on Left ventricular ejection fraction
  • Compare the treatment recommendations between the 2017 and 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA guideline
  • Summarize the data supporting the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure in the 2022 ACC/AHA heart failure guidelines

Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of treating left ventricular thrombi to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism. While direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic emboli in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and for the treatment of other thromboembolisms, there is less available literature to support the use of DOACs in patients with left ventricle thrombi. Furthermore, the guidelines currently recommend the use of warfarin in this setting with little mention of the role of DOACs. This continuing education seminar will provide a review of the available literature comparing the safety and efficacy of warfarin compared to DOACs for this indication.

Objectives

  • Identify risk factors for the development of left ventricular thrombus
  • Summarize guideline recommendations for the treatment of left ventricular thrombus including the agent and duration of treatment
  • Select an appropriate treatment regimen for left ventricular thrombus taking into consideration patient specific factors

Tranexamic acid (TXA) only has two FDA-approved indications including the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding and tooth extractions in patient with hemophilia. However, TXA is a commonly used drug with several off-label indications including treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, prevention of bleeding and blood transfusions in surgical patients, as well as prevention of bleeding and blood transfusions in trauma patients. Many clinicians use TXA in these situations, but may not know the data behind these off-label indications and the issues with well-known trials that are often referenced to support the use of TXA. This presentation will address the clinical controversies surrounding TXA and will critique TXA trials in various patient populations, with a focus on trauma and surgical patients. A final recommendation regarding the safety and efficacy of TXA in these patient populations will be made, including what clinical controversies remain unanswered.

Objectives

  • Describe the risks and benefits of tranexamic acid (TXA) use in trauma and surgical patients
  • Explain the clinical controversies and unanswered questions behind the use of TXA

This presentation will focus on the newly approved dual incretin agonist class for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.  Given its recent approval, there is a lack of guidance on when they should be used in the American Diabetes Association Guidelines. Therefore, this presentation will review dual incretin agonists and provide the necessary information for health care providers to clinically apply its use in the treatment of diabetes. Specifically, pathophysiology, mechanism of action, and place of therapy of dual incretin agonist will be covered. To determine place of therapy as well as efficacy and safety of this medication class, the recent data on dual incretin agonists will be reviewed and analyzed to draw clinical conclusions.

Objectives

  • Describe the incretin effect and identify the incretins involved
  • Explain the mechanism of action of a dual incretin agonist
  • Summarize the primary outcome and safety outcomes of the SURPASS-2 Trial
  • Identify place in therapy of dual incretin agonists for patients with type 2 diabetes
