ForwardDescription:
Staying current with emerging evidence is essential to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. This interdisciplinary activity provides healthcare professionals with an opportunity to critically evaluate contemporary medical literature, discuss the applicability of new research findings to diverse patient populations, and explore how evidence-based recommendations can be translated into clinical decision-making. Through collaborative discussion, learners will examine the impact of health equity, social determinants of health, and patient-centered care principles on the interpretation and application of clinical evidence in practice.
Target Audience:
Pharmacists (PharmD)
Physicians (MD or DO)
Other Healthcare Professionals
Session Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. Identify clinical characteristics and biomarker criteria used to select patients with COPD and type 2 inflammation who may be candidates for dupilumab therapy.
2. Analyze the efficacy and safety data from recent randomized controlled trials evaluating dupilumab in patients with COPD and elevated eosinophil counts.
3. Apply current evidence to develop evidence-based treatment strategies for patients with COPD and persistent exacerbations despite optimized inhaled therapy.
