Activity Description

PARP inhibitors have transformed the treatment of multiple cancers in recent years. Indeed, many agents have yielded promising clinical data and received regulatory approval for a number of solid tumors, providing newer alternatives for cancer patients, especially those with limited therapeutic options. Key clinical aspects associated with maximizing the potential of PARP inhibitors in cancer care include application of recommended testing strategies to guide patient selection, individualized treatment planning, and management of treatment-related toxicities.

In this PeerView activity, oncology and pharmacy experts will review the latest evidence on the use of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of different tumors, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, as well as oncology value assessment frameworks and strategies for assessing the benefits, risks, and costs to guide decisions regarding the use of this class of agents. Additionally, practical guidance will be provided for optimizing outcomes for cancer patients who may benefit from PARP inhibitor therapy in managed care settings.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, managed care pharmacists, medical directors, payer physicians, nurse case managers, oncology nurses and other clinicians involved in the management of care.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the rationale for use and the expanding role of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of different cancers, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic, prostate, and other malignancies
• Assess the PARP inhibitors in terms of their mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety profiles, requirements for predictive testing to guide patient selection, nuances of administration and use, and other factors relevant to their value assessment in managed care settings
• Implement appropriate decisions regarding the integration and use of PARP inhibitors in cancer care in managed care settings based on balanced assessments of all the evidence and unique characteristics of this class of agents
