CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Review published research data documenting the safety and efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors alone or in combination with other systemic approaches for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR tumor mutation, and appropriately apply this information in patient care.
    • Acknowledge available Phase III findings supporting the use of adjuvant osimertinib for patients with early-stage NSCLC with EGFR mutations, and consider the potential effects of this information on current and future clinical practice.
    • Appreciate available clinical trial findings supporting the recent FDA approval of lorlatinib for patients with metastatic NSCLC with ALK rearrangements, and discern how this agent can be optimally employed in nonresearch clinical practice.
    • Assess the efficacy of other commercially available ALK inhibitors for patients with metastatic NSCLC with ALK rearrangements, and apply this understanding to the selection and sequencing of these drugs as first- and later-line therapy.
    • Acknowledge available data supporting the FDA approvals of tepotinib and capmatinib for patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations.
    • Recall other oncogenic pathways (ie, ROS1, RET, HER2, KRAS) mediating the pathogenesis of tumors in unique patient subgroups, and employ available and recently FDA-approved agents in the care of those individuals.
