Cases and Conversations: Optimizing Patient-Centric Care for Chronic Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency: From Early Diagnosis to Emerging Treatment

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Target Audience
This educational program is directed toward medical genetics specialists, genetic counselors, pediatricians, pulmonologists, hematologists, hepatologists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and other clinicians involved in the diagnosis and management of ASMD.

Active Overview
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a progressive lysosomal storage disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment is limited to supportive care. However, an enzyme replacement therapy, olipudase alfa, is in advanced clinical development and experts anticipate this will be the first treatment to impact underlying disease pathology. As such, education is critical to improve ASMD recognition and management. This online, on-demand virtual symposium brings together renowned experts to discuss the latest data as best practices.This educational activity is an archive of the live virtual symposium held on April 14, 2021.

Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:

Identify ASMD based on characteristic signs, symptoms, and genetic findings
Discuss the appropriate symptom-directed management of disease manifestations associated with ASMD
Describe recent data supporting the role of enzyme replacement therapy as disease-directed therapy for chronic ASMD
Select appropriate evidence-based management strategies for patients with ASMD based on individual goals and preferences
