Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, rapidly progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The etiology of ALS is unknown, however it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, and agingrelated dysfunction. The clinical presentation of ALS varies depending on which motor neurons are affected. ALS commonly presents with localized weakness that progresses to muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, and death.

AMCP brought together experts to learn about food allergies caused by the body reacting strongly to certain foods. Food allergies can be difficult to handle and costly for both people and the health care system. New medicines could help prevent allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, caused by accidental exposure to foods. It is important for health care leaders to make sure people with food allergies see the right doctors, get the right medicine at the right time, and help prevent allergic reactions and related health care costs.

The lack of implementation of predictive biomarkers in clinical practice results in a significant number of individuals with NSCLC not deriving benefits from targeted treatments. Payers have the potential to shape various aspects of the precision oncology pathway, such as addressing biomarker test ordering, utilizing test results to inform treatment decisions, implementing quality measurements, and understanding cost-effectiveness.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder (lymphoid neoplasm). It is characterized by a progressive accumulation of functionally incompetent B lymphocytes, which are usually monoclonal in origin.

This non-promotional, sponsored webinar will review health plan best practice recommendations for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) with an impressive panel of oncology and managed care experts.

Recommendations for treatment initiation in CLL are stratified by disease stage using either the Rai staging system, which defines disease as low-, intermediate-, or high-risk; or the Binet staging system, which defines disease as stage A, B, or C based on the number of lymphoid areas involved and the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia. Generally, treatment should be initiated in patients with active or progressive disease who are intermediate- or high-risk, or stage B or C.
