Nursing Perspectives on the Increasing Role of PARP Inhibitors for Ovarian Cancer



This webcast is not certified for contact hours.

Release Date: November 18, 2020
Expiration Date: November 18, 2021


Overview
Given the approval of multiple novel PARP inhibitors, as well as the associated volume of emerging data and indications, it is critical that nurses be able to evaluate the benefits of these agents, especially efficacy and safety data from recent clinical trials. Thus, expert guidance is needed to help nurses use existing PARP inhibitors safely and effectively, manage adverse events as they occur, as well as plan for optimal integration of new indications into practice when they become available.

Target Audience
The target audience for this activity is oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, and other clinicians who treat patients with ovarian cancer.  

Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss patient and disease related factors that help identify patients appropriate for PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy
  • Review clinical trial data of approved and emerging PARP inhibitor therapy strategies
  • Evaluate nursing interventions and management strategies that help prevent PARP-related adverse events and encourage patient adherence to oral therapies
  • Examine patient perspective of PARP inhibitor therapy and nursing approaches that enhanced their experience during treatment
