Module 1: Emergence of Immune Checkpoint Inhibition as a Therapeutic Consideration for Patients with Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Track 1: Efficacy of consolidation durvalumab after chemoradiation therapy for Stage III NSCLC on the PACIFIC trial; synergy between immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemoradiation therapy
Track 2: Benefit with durvalumab after chemoradiation therapy; role of the abscopal effect of radiation therapy
Track 3: Utility of durvalumab for patients with locally advanced NSCLC and targetable mutations or low PD-L1 expression
Track 4: Role of durvalumab as consolidation therapy for patients who undergo surgical resection for locally advanced NSCLC
Track 5: Risk of disease progression for patients who receive chemoradiation therapy followed by durvalumab consolidation
Track 6: Absolute reduction in the risk of disease progression with durvalumab; optimal duration of durvalumab consolidation therapy

Module 2: Incidence, Recognition and Management of Immune-Mediated and Other Toxicities with the Use of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Antibodies for Locally Advanced and Metastatic Disease

Track 7: Frequency of and reasons for discontinuing therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors
Track 8: Incidence, severity and time to onset of pneumonitis on the PACIFIC trial
Track 9: Use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with preexisting autoimmune disease and for transplant recipients
Track 10: Effect of the chemotherapy backbone on toxicities with immune checkpoint inhibitors
Track 11: Spectrum of toxicities with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies

Module 3: Current Application of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in the Treatment of Metastatic NSCLC; Role for Patients with Actionable Tumor Mutations

Track 12: Selection of first-line therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC and no targetable mutation
Track 13: Selection of first-line therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC and EGFR mutations
Track 14: Duration of therapy with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with metastatic NSCLC
Track 15: Role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with targeted therapy
Track 16: Efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in patients with BRAF mutations
Track 17: PD-L1 expression and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors

Module 4: Future Directions for Clinical and Translational Research

Track 18: Activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with NSCLC in the neoadjuvant setting
Track 19: Correlation between tumor mutation burden and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors; efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors alone versus in combination
Track 20: Modulation of tumor response to immunotherapy by the gut microbiome
