Target Audience
This activity is intended for rheumatologists and other specialists involved in the management of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Statement of Need
Despite improved understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms, development of classification criteria, and hope for more available treatments, specialists face challenges in managing the diverse manifestations of SLE. During this live CME webinar program, national and regional experts in SLE will share interpretive insights on SLE diagnosis, SLE pathogenesis, traditional treatment modalities, and recent clinical trial data for newer targeted therapies. The program will also look at how clinicians and patients define treatment success and will feature several faculty discussions addressing today’s clinical challenges in SLE treatment. This forward-looking CME program will offer insights and evolving evidence to help rheumatologists provide care that minimizes recurrent disease activity flares and cumulative organ damage, both key factors in long-term outcomes.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe SLE pathophysiology with a focus on novel treatment targets
- Evaluate patients with SLE using consensus classification criteria, measures of disease activity, and clinical trial endpoints
- Discuss new clinical trial data and regulatory status for current and emerging targeted therapies in moderate-to-severe SLE
- Manage patients with SLE based on a treat-to-target approach, evolving clinical evidence, unresolved symptoms, and patient preferences
