Innovative science is poised to transform glioblastoma management by offering the opportunity to enhance conventional management through the use of newer modalities, including tumor treating fields (TTFields) and efficacious systemic therapies. These novel options have been incorporated into clinical practice guidelines and are driving improved outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent disease. The current challenge is how best to use these modalities as part of sequential and highly effective combination strategies across glioblastoma treatment settings. In a new “Seminars & Practicum” event from PeerView and the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA), expert panelists will link current science to practical decisions that can help clinicians “set their sights” on achieving improved outcomes in glioblastoma. Throughout the lecture and case-based segments, the experts will provide context for the real-world impact of glioblastoma, focus on the latest efficacy and safety data on TTFields, discuss TTFields delivery considerations, and address the integration of targeted and biomarker-guided therapies into glioblastoma management. This program will also feature a patient’s perspective on how newer modalities have impacted his therapeutic journey. Set your sights on better outcomes in glioblastoma, and join us for this important educational activity! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Articulate the roles, mechanisms of action, and key clinical evidence on novel guideline-recommended treatment options, including TTFields, multikinase inhibitors, and gene-directed therapies (eg, TRK inhibitors), for patients with newly diagnosed (post-radiation) or recurrent glioblastoma; Consider clinical trials evaluating innovative treatment strategies as standard therapeutic options for patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma, based on an understanding of their clinical rationales, efficacy, and safety; Develop contemporary, personalized management plans for patients with glioblastoma that incorporate novel therapeutics, expert recommendations, and individual patient needs and preferences; andEmploy proactive, team-based strategies to address practical aspects, including adverse event management, patient education, and disparities in clinical care and research, associated with using novel therapeutics for patients with glioblastoma
