Program Description

Oncology remains a leading driver of drug spend, with global expenditures projected to exceed $400 billion by 2028 and newly launched agents carrying increasingly high price tags. At the same time, the oncology pipeline continues to expand rapidly, introducing novel mechanisms, biomarker-driven therapies, and complex treatment paradigms. How can managed care stakeholders stay ahead of what’s coming next? 

This session will highlight key recent FDA approvals and late-stage pipeline agents poised to reshape hematology and oncology practice. Through real-world considerations and emerging outcomes data, faculty will explore clinical impact, evolving standards of care, and implications for formulary decision-making, utilization management, and total cost of care. Attendees will gain practical insights to proactively evaluate upcoming therapies and prepare for their impact on patients, providers, and payers. 

This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, Corcept Therapeutics Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., and Revolution Medicines, Inc.

Target Audience

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