A Science & Innovation Webinar, presented by Abbvie.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the dysfunction and loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, along with the accumulation of Lewy body pathology. The condition leads to a gradual progression of both motor and non-motor symptoms. Although oral dopaminergic drugs provide symptom control for about 3 to 6 years, their benefits decrease over time, resulting in a narrower therapeutic window and worsening symptoms.

Vyalev (Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion) offers the first 24-hour subcutaneous infusion of levodopa-based treatment, specifically designed to help individuals with advanced Parkinson’s Disease experiencing severe motor fluctuations not adequately managed by other therapies.

Migraine is a complex, chronic disease that results in significant patient and economic burden. Migraine ranks second worldwide in terms of years lost due to disability. Direct annual all cause healthcare costs for a migraine patient is over twice that of a non-migraine patient. Indirect costs from the impact of the disease on a patient's ability to function (absenteeism and presenteeism) total over $35B annually.

Therefore, it is important to appropriately manage a person with migraine who experiences greater than 4 attacks a month (or severe disability from at least two attacks a month) and may benefit from preventive therapy. One of the main goals of preventive therapy is to improve function and reduce disability. Utilizing a stratified care approach to preventive migraine treatment is key to accomplish this goal.

This webinar will provide payer and managed care leaders with a clear, visual map of the precision medicine patient access ecosystem, illuminate the roles and handoffs that drive delays, and define specific payer levers, including equity-focused measures, to reduce friction and accelerate timeline, equitable access.

A Pre-Approval Information Exchange (PIE) Webinar, presented by Sanofi.

In this webinar, we will be discussing the following topics around T1D staging, screening, and treatment:

• The role of beta-cell function and C-peptide in disease progression.
• Mechanism of action for teplizumab.
• Efficacy and safety results from teplizumab clinical development program.

This product is indicated for use in State 2 T1D patients aged 8 years and older to delay onset of Stage 3 T1D. The data in this webinar regarding the use in Stage 3 T1D patients is investigational and the safety and efficacy for this use has not been reviewed/approved by the FDA. This information constitutes preapproval information exchange and is intended for formulary/population health decision makers only.

A Science & Innovation Webinar, presented by GSK.

This educational session provides an up-to-date overview of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), focusing on its epidemiology, disease burden, and the evolving goal of achieving a functional cure. The program highlights the challenges of CHB management, the importance of early detection and guideline-based care, and the psychosocial impact on patients. Current gaps in diagnosis and treatment are discussed, along with the rationale for aiming beyond viral suppression toward functional cure as recommended by global guidelines.

Many patients require augmentation of their antidepressant with an additional therapy, and augmentation with an atypical antipsychotic is a guideline-recommended option for appropriate Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) patients. This session will focus on the burden of MDD and the impact of an atypical antipsychotic approved for the adjunctive treatment of MDD.

Vitiligo is more than a cosmetic concern. It is a chronic, autoimmune disease characterized by the progressive loss of melanocytes, leading to depigmented patches on the skin—the body’s most visible and socially expressive organ. NSV reflects underlying immune dysregulation and can be associated with systemic comorbidities such as autoimmune thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, pernicious anemia, and alopecia areata. Beyond the physical manifestations, NSV carries a profound psychological burden, with increased rates of anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal. These interconnected challenges not only affect patient quality of life but also contribute to broader healthcare utilization and underscore the need for holistic, long-term management strategies.

One of the primary goals of acute treatment of migraine is rapid and consistent freedom from pain and associated symptoms without recurrence. Regardless of migraine frequency or time of month, it is important that every appropriate person with migraine be offered a migraine-specific treatment. The objective for this webinar is to review the migraine disease state and outline the clinical data for an acute treatment of migraine including data for perimenstrual attacks.
