Chronic Kidney Disease: Impact of Next Generation Therapeutics

Pricing: Free for Members and Non-Members

This activity is supported by an independent educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company. 

Course Description

Advancements in treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) are being driven by an increased understanding of disease mechanisms and the use of precision medicine approaches to target the underlying causes. It is anticipated that several new treatment options will be approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the next five years. While the new agents may represent scientific advancements, the cost of these treatments will also require assessment of budget impact and appropriate managed care strategies to ensure safe and appropriate use in patients.  

Faculty will provide an overview of current CKD management and a summary of treatment advances likely to be available in the near future. This session will also demonstrate the importance of addressing health disparities in CKD, addressing patient quality of life, and understanding the financial impact of novel therapies.  

Target Audience

This knowledge-based activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pharmacists in managed care settings.
