The treatment of Rett Syndrome (RTT), a rare, genetic neurological disorder affecting young children that leads to severe impairments, is continuing to evolve. The first therapy was approved in March 2023, and with several investigational assets on the horizon, there is a critical need to educate both community-based clinicians and Centers of Excellence on this change to the standard of care. […]
Asthma, a serious chronic lung disease, affects 26.8 million adults and 4.5 million children in the U.S. according to the American Lung Association.1 Research on the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation has brought new targeted therapies to market that may make a significant difference for patients affected by uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma.2 While these innovative biologics play a significant role in treating disease, integration by healthcare practitioners (HCPs) remains inconsistent due to barriers in provider knowledge and confidence.

Clinical trial recruitment has been a persistent problem, with studies showing up to 55% of trials are canceled prematurely due to low enrollment rates. These rates are even more dismal when it comes to diverse populations, including ethnic and racial minorities as well as seniors. Common methods for improving trial access such as transportation supports have been well documented, yet there are numerous other avenues for improving the patient experience that have yet to be uncovered. […]
Immunotherapy is increasingly being used to treat patients with melanoma and other types of cancer.

[…]
“Black women are 71% more likely to die of breast cancer than their White counterparts, so you have to question what is going on here,” she says. “Although there was knowledge in the medical community about inequities, it seemed like the default response was that this was all associated with poverty or lack of insurance, but what I found is that it’s more nuanced than that. There was bias that was contributing to these disparities. Even if a Black woman had adequate insurance and income, she was often not being presented with the standard of care.” […]
Data collected before and after continuing medical education on the management of familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) showed that provider knowledge and competence was notable improved after the session. A poster session presented at the 2023 National Lipid Association Scientific Sessions demonstrated that CME that included patient voice enhanced the ability of providers to adapt to the changing HoFH treatment landscape. […]
