- CAPItello-291 is a phase 3 clinical trial studying the effects of capivasertib combined with fulvestrant on progression-free survival in patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who experienced relapse after aromatase inhibitors.
- The trial involved a diverse group of participants, including both men and women aged 18 and older, and was conducted across 193 centers in 19 countries, focusing on those with a specific type of breast cancer and previous treatment history.
- Researchers also assessed the impact of this treatment on quality of life, symptoms, and tolerability, aiming to analyze how the new combination therapy affects overall health and wellbeing beyond just cancer progression.
Objective: This study used a self-authorship framework to explore if diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and social determinants of health (SDoH)-focused laboratories and learning activities increase student confidence in understanding aspects of implicit bias and SDoH, and how these activities impact student comfort in discussing and confidence in initiating conversations on DEI/SDoH topics with colleagues, faculty, supervisors, and patients.
Methods: First-year PharmD students engaged in 3 learning activities across 2 courses. Students were challenged to evaluate their biases and incorporate DEI/SDoH into their professional identity formation.
