Target Audience
The design of this activity addresses the needs of clinical immunologists, allergists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists and hematology/oncology clinicians and other healthcare professionals who manage patients with nonadvanced systemic mastocytosis (SM).
Program Overview
Nonadvanced systemic mastocytosis (SM) is frequently missed or misdiagnosed, delaying access to effective, disease-modifying care. This Science in the Spotlight symposium unites SM specialists for a case-driven exploration of KIT D816V–mediated pathophysiology, diagnostic strategies, and advances in KIT-targeted therapy, using interactive Case-Based Checkpoints to translate mechanistic insight into practical patient management for nonadvanced disease. Join us for this live, interactive program and be part of the conversation shaping the future of respiratory care.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe the biologic mechanisms underlying nonadvanced SM, including key driver mutations and mast cell activation pathways and how they form the basis for targeted therapies
- Differentiate nonadvanced subtypes using contemporary World Health Organization (WHO)/International Consensus Classification (ICC) diagnostic frameworks that integrate clinical features, biomarkers, and molecular testing to support earlier and more accurate diagnosis and classification
- Evaluate evidence for approved and emerging therapies for nonadvanced SM, including key clinical trial data, safety considerations, and appropriate patient selection
- Implement individualized management strategies for nonadvanced SM that incorporate therapeutic risk–benefit considerations, patient-reported outcomes, shared decision-making, and patient education
