PANTHERx® Specialty Pharmacy’s Chairman & CEO, Dr. Gordon J. Vanscoy, and PANTHERx®’s Manager of Clinical Programs, Dr. Christa Eans, will lead a Live CE Webinar as part of the American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC) and the Pharmacy Times Continuing Education™. The webinar, titled, The Clinical and Managed Care Implications of X-Linked Hypophosphatemia will be offered free of charge at 6:00PM and 8:00PM ET on November 19, 2018 (today).
This webinar will explore the most common form of heritable rickets, X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), which is considered a rare disease in the United States. The main physiologic defect in XLH is impaired proximal renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate, which is crucial to healthy growth and development, bone formation, acid-base regulation, and cellular metabolism. Skeletal manifestations in adults and children are debilitating and significantly impact quality of life. Breakthrough therapies have emerged to improve the efficacy and tolerability that current treatments severely lack.
Experts in the field of rare and precision medicine, Dr. Vanscoy and Dr. Eans will provide an overview of the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of XLH, current and emerging treatment options, and managed care implications. This webinar will prove to be not only enlightening, but inspiring for those in, or wishing to learn more about, the challenges and implications of the specialty pharmacy industry.
