CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand the cellular targets, structural components and mechanisms of action of available and investigational antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with documented activity in patients with lung cancer.
    • Evaluate available efficacy and safety findings with HER2-directed ADCs for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and assess the optimal placement of this form of therapy in the current treatment algorithm.
    • Consider the biological rationale for the development of ADCs targeting TROP2 for NSCLC, and recognize available efficacy and safety findings with these agents in patients with relapsed/refractory disease.
    • Appreciate the incidence of HER3 overexpression in patients with NSCLC, and develop an understanding of the rationale for and available data with HER3-directed ADCs for metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR mutation.
    • Acknowledge the potential utility of c-Met as a therapeutic target in NSCLC, and recollect available and emerging efficacy and safety findings with novel c-Met-directed ADCs for patients with previously treated disease.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency, severity and optimal management of toxicities associated with novel ADCs with activity in lung cancer, and apply this information to facilitate the safe and effective use of these agents.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel ADCs or combination strategies with these agents for lung cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
