PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Treatment for patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) has long been hindered by conventional agents’ monitoring requirements, adverse events, and limited efficacy. Fortunately, in April 2018, an FGF23 blocking antibody became the first FDA-approved agent for XLH. However, because XLH remains a rare disease, clinicians may not be properly equipped to recognize and manage it.

This CME activity, “X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: Improving Clinician Awareness and Management,” will help participants recognize the clinical presentation of XLH, identify the potential short- and long-term complications of XLH, and understand the latest evidence on and role of the recently approved breakthroughs.

AGENDA

Welcome and Introduction
Recognizing XLH and Understanding Its Clinical Manifestations
Managing XLH in Clinical Practice
Q&A Session and Concluding Remarks

TARGET AUDIENCE

This activity is intended for primary care clinicians (e.g. family physicians, pediatricians), the front-line providers likely to first assess and diagnose patients with XLH.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

This program is designed to address the following National Academy of Medicine (NAM) competencies: provide patient-centered care and employ evidence-based practice.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Recognize the clinical presentation of XLH
Identify the potential short- and long-term complications of XLH
Discuss the efficacy and safety data for newly approved agents for XLH
Incorporate clinical data and expert recommendations, which include newly approved therapies in management plans for adolescents and adults with XLH

ABIM MOC DESIGNATION
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 1.0 Medical Knowledge MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

To receive CME credit and/or MOC points, you MUST complete the onsite evaluation and pass the online post-test at www.rockpointe.com/xlhmoc. For ABIM MOC points, your information will be shared with the ABIM through PCME’s ACCME Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS). Please allow 6-8 weeks for your MOC points to appear on your ABIM records.

ABP PART 2 DESIGNATION
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the activity and individual assessment of and feedback to the learner, enables the learner to earn up to 1.0 MOC points in the American Board of Pediatrics’ (ABP) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit learner completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABP MOC credit. To receive CME credit and/or MOC points, you MUST complete the onsite evaluation and pass the online post-test at www.rockpointe.com/xlhmoc. For ABP MOC points, your information will be shared with the ABP through PCME’s ACCME Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS). Please allow 6-8 weeks for your MOC points to appear on your ABP records.
