Infusing Renewed Hope into Cancer-related Anemia with Intravenous Iron: AN EXPERT-LED EXPLORATION OF RECENT AND EMERGING TRIAL DATA AND CURRENT GUIDELINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Please Note: Credit Is No Longer Available
This Medical Moments webinar will review all clinically relevant aspects of cancer-related anemia (CRA) management, including chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA). The activity will begin with a brief primer on iron metabolism and absorption principles, including the practical distinctions between absolute and functional iron deficiency, and the impact of that distinction on treatment approaches. An appraisal of the foundational pathophysiology of CRA will follow, with a central emphasis on the role of hepcidin in a hyperinflammatory disease state like cancer, and the resultant rationale for the preferential use of intravenous (IV) iron versus oral iron modalities in patients with cancer. Finally, the preeminent emphasis of the session will be an incisive exploration of completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trials of IV iron for CRA/CIA, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as well as recently-reported pivotal trials, such as IRON-CLAD.
Supported through an independent educational grant from American Regent.

Target Audience
Hematologists, oncologists, hem/onc residents/fellows, and the interprofessional hematology/oncology care team of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and nurses.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Appraise completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trials of IV iron therapies for CRA and CIA evaluating IV iron in combinatorial regimens (i.e., IV iron + ESA) and as monotherapy (i.e., IRON-CLAD, etc.).
- Analyze the safety and efficacy profiles of next-generation IV iron products, with a focus on reduced rates of severe hypersensitivity reactions and unique clinical utility in cancer.
- Apply expert consensus CRA/CIA management guidelines (NCCN, ASCO/ASH, ESMO) to real-world patient cases
