Drs. Mike Sharma, Ashkan Shoamanesh, and Brian Mac Grory explore the science behind factor XIa inhibition and its potential to decouple thrombosis from hemostasis. The panel reviews pivotal OCEANIC-STROKE results presented at ISC 2026, highlighting a 26% relative risk reduction in ischemic stroke without an observed increase in ISTH major bleeding. They examine outcomes across stroke subtypes and place these results in context with other agents in development, such as milvexian and abelacimab. This conversation considers whether factor XI inhibition may alter long-standing assumptions about the tradeoff between efficacy and safety in secondary stroke prevention.=

But, daily practice often still defaults to drop-heavy regimens that can erode the very ocular surface on which long-term success depends. The chronic use of preserved topical medications can compromise the cornea and conjunctiva, perpetuating ocular surface disease (OSD) and ocular surface inflammation (OSI). These conditions not only degrade comfort and quality of life but also undermine adherence, accelerate treatment failure, and reduce the success rates of both medical and surgical interventions. Recent expert consensus underscores that every glaucoma patient should be screened for OSD/OSI, yet implementation remains inconsistent in daily practice. Contemporary perspectives and data support a shift toward ocular surface-sparing strategies, including preservative-free options, earlier laser strategies, and newer tear-restorative, anti-inflammatory, and neuromodulatory therapeutic options when OSD does occur.=

Although reduced corneal sensitivity is the defining feature of NK, corneal sensitivity testing is not routinely performed, resulting in missed opportunities to identify stage 1 NK when intervention is most effective. Treatment at stage 1 can preserve corneal sensitivity and prevent progression to epithelial defects, but many clinicians may lack the confidence needed to initiate treatment earlier. This activity has been designed to improve clinicians' ability to differentiate and diagnose NK and to select optimal treatment regimens based on evidence from recent studies and current guidelines.=

Among children, this rare disease can progress to end-stage kidney disease within 10 years of diagnosis. Traditional treatment options include supportive care and immunotherapies, but both approaches are only modestly effective in reducing proteinuria. The approval of complement inhibitors, particularly those directed to C3, is a major treatment advance for C3G, revolutionizing the care of patients in this setting. In this activity, experts in the field of nephrology review the clinical evidence for these therapies and offer practical tips regarding their optimal use in pediatric patients.=

Expert faculty discuss pivotal clinical data supporting the approval of avapritinib, a potent TKI that targets KIT D816V, in patients with ISM. They also highlight emerging clinical evidence on next-generation KIT TKIs, such as elenestinib and bezuclastinib, that are designed for enhanced selectivity and minimal brain penetration. Finally, faculty discuss how these agents may be sequenced and integrated into a personalized, multidisciplinary treatment approach aimed at durable symptom control and improved quality of life for patients with ISM.=

Experts examine trial design, efficacy outcomes, and the role of PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) in patient selection. Drs. Uppaluri and Lee discuss how surgical, medical, and radiation oncology teams can coordinate treatment sequencing and integrate perioperative pembrolizumab into practice for patients with locally advanced HNSCC.=

Maria Pabon and Robert Mentz explore the evolving role of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism in heart failure, with emphasis on patients who appear clinically stable yet remain at elevated biologic risk. They contrast steroidal and nonsteroidal MRAs, highlighting differences in receptor selectivity, cardiac-renal distribution, and downstream anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory signaling. Faculty address the principle that symptom stability does not equate to disease stability, offering strategies to identify patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF who may benefit from a risk-based treatment approach.=

Faculty review ongoing symptom burden and functional limitations despite guideline-directed first-line therapy with beta-blockers and analyze mechanistic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic differences among available agents, including their effects on peak VO₂, left ventricular outflow tract gradients, and patient-reported outcomes. Through expert discussion and case-based application, the activity highlights practical considerations for treatment selection, individualized dosing and titration, safety monitoring, and treatment transitions to support evidence-based strategies that optimize hemodynamics and improve quality of life in patients with oHCM.*Please stay tuned for additional content to this activity available for credit.
