PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This educational Case Escalation Series is designed to improve your use of PI3K-pathway inhibitors for eligible patients with hormone-receptor‒positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer through personalized and multidisciplinary treatment planning and adverse event management, as well as improved recognition of barriers to delivery of guideline-concordant care. This activity is comprised of three interactive, video-based modules that escalate in complexity. Each module includes a brief clinical primer, followed by case presentation and discussion. Throughout the modules, you will have the opportunity to share your approaches and perspectives, while watching the expert faculty provide evidence-based rationale for their own strategies. The activity also includes point-of-care resources such as personalized posters and video micromodules.

Module 1: PI3K Pathway Inhibition for HR+, HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer
Module 1 Overview
In module 1 of this case escalation series, Dr. Hurvitz presents the case of a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic recurrence of ER+, PR+, HER2-negative, breast cancer that develops 6 months after completion of 5 years of an adjuvant aromatase inhibitor. Her discussion explores biomarker-directed therapy for woman with advanced breast cancer, including molecular testing, treatment selection (eg, CDK4/6 inhibition with or without a PI3K pathway inhibitor), and the importance of baseline assessment of risk for treatment-related adverse events.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The proposed innovative educational initiative will be designed to meet the educational needs of community oncologists, members of the oncology care team (pharmacists, advanced practice providers, and nurses), and endocrinologists.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
- Select the most appropriate PI3K pathway inhibitor for patients with HR+/HER2- mBC based on the tumor mutational profile
- Summarize the mechanisms underlying hyperglycemia associated with PI3K pathway inhibitors, the characteristics of these AEs, and the impact on patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer
- Develop strategies to monitor and manage hyperglycemia and other adverse events associated with PI3K pathway inhibitors effectively and promptly within an MDT
