The University of Chicago 2023 AYA Oncology Symposium: AYA Cancer Therapy and the Patient Voice in Clinical Trials

Chicago, IL US
June 2, 2023
This interprofessional and interdisciplinary educational activity convenes leading national oncologists and scientists to present and evaluate cutting-edge technology and clinical approaches in the management of three important AYA cancers – sarcomas, Hodgkins lymphoma, and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LLy). It focuses on recent advancements in the development of targeted therapies being incorporated into novel clinical trials, along with efforts to integrate patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) to adequately assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in these trials.
This activity will provide healthcare professionals with critical updates in novel therapies for several important cancers in the AYA population and illuminate HRQoL issues that can only be learned from patients. It will improve the understanding of the scientific rationale for the targeted approaches to these cancers, how they are currently being investigated in clinical trials, and how they will be developed. Also, participants will hear directly from a patient panel on the impact of cancer and its therapy on HRQoL and how investigators are gaining a broader understanding of these issues. This activity will directly address these challenges and give participants strategies to overcome them.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians, nurses, advanced practice practitioners, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to treating adolescents and young adults with cancers.

Learning Objectives

After this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Recall the role of the apoptotic pathway in T-ALL and the clinical implications of its targeting;
  • Identify novel therapies in Hodgkin lymphoma that are currently being investigated and how the microbiome may impact their effectiveness;
  • Recognize recent advances in targeting specific pathways in solid cancers that are refractory to multiple lines of therapy, including osteosarcoma;
  • Discuss why enrolling AYAs in clinical trials is both feasible and acceptable to AYAs, including in PRO/HRQoL-based studies;
  • Describe how future clinical trials will amplify the patient's voice.
