A Deeper Look into New Therapies in the
Management of Sickle Cell Disease: How the Latest Advances May
Impact Decision-Making
A continuing medical education
activity provided by NAMCP and AAMCN
New Horizons in the Management of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD):
Leveraging Treatment Breakthroughs to Make Informed Decisions in
Managed Care is a three-part webinar series
This is Part 2 of the series focusing on new therapies in the
management of sickle cell disease
This activity is an archive from the webinar held December 10, 2020
This activity is valid from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2023 |

Description:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, life-long, debilitating
disease with many forms that can range in clinical severity from
asymptomatic to life-threatening. In the US, SCD affects an
estimated 90,000 to 100,000 Americans. This disease can lead to the
obstruction of blood vessels, reduced blood flow to vital organs,
and a weakened immune system. Fortunately for patients, novel
therapies have been approved that have shown tremendous benefit in
SCD.
Upon completion of this
activity, participants will be able to:
-
Discuss the pathophysiology,
physical manifestations, economic burden, clinical course, and
impact on patient quality of life of sickle cell disease (SCD)
-
Examine the mechanisms underlying
new and emerging treatments for patients with SCD that work
upstream of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization and may be
disease-modifying
-
Evaluate the latest clinical
evidence regarding new and emerging disease-modifying options
for patients with SCD and the implications for patients
-
Analyze the safety and efficacy of
new therapies that manage acute vaso-occlusive pain events in
SCD
-
Examine the latest understanding
regarding SCD phenotypes and implications for treatment
selection and sequencing
-
Identify patients with vaso-occlusive
pain events in SCD for whom a newer therapy is an appropriate
choice for the next step in the management of their disease
