ForwardNew Insights into Disease Progression for the CFTR Modulator-Treated Cystic Fibrosis Patient
This educational activity is adapted from a live satellite symposium held during the 29th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. This educational symposium will update clinicians on the changes in disease progression that are now seen in CFTR modulator-treated patients. With the recent scientific advancements and the principles of precision medicine, disease progression and quality of life are drastically improving for patients with cystic fibrosis. Current clinical trial data shows new and emerging therapeutic options that are beneficial to specific gene mutations. Expert faculty will present comprehensive case studies and conduct interactive panel discussions to enhance your knowledge in the advanced science of cystic fibrosis and patient management strategies.
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of Pulmonologists, and other healthcare clinicians responsible for the care of patients with cystic fibrosis.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Discuss novel diagnostic strategies, updated guidelines, and the principles of precision medicine for the cystic fibrosis patient
Analyze the improved disease progression in cystic fibrosis patients who have received CFTR modulation therapy
Review the most current and emerging clinical trial data for CFTR modulation, as well as combination therapies, in the patient with cystic fibrosis
Optimize your strategies to manage and monitor CFTR modulator-treated cystic fibrosis patients
