The Emerging Role of Biologics in COPD Management: An Expert Discussion

SELF STUDY / ENDURING - ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE ACTIVITY: 60 Minutes

Overview

This 60-minute DynamicCastTM webcast is a multi-faculty interactive presentation where pulmonary experts discuss the latest clinical data informing optimal care of patients with COPD, including guidance on standard-of-care therapy, reflection on the evolving understanding of COPD pathophysiology, and review of the latest clinical data on emerging biologic therapies for the management of COPD and how to apply these data in clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

1. Discuss mechanisms of action of novel biologics and the rationale for their use to treat COPD.
2. Interpret recent data from clinical trials of biologics in the treatment of COPD.
3. Recognize the potential future impact of biologics on the treatment guidelines of COPD, and current levels of guideline-discordant care.
4. Identify patients with COPD at increased risk of exacerbations and utilize emerging biomarkers to guide treatment decisions.

Target Audience:

This educational initiative has been designed for pulmonology physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants involved in the management of patients with COPD.

This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc and Sanofi.
