CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the spectrum of potentially targetable genomic alterations occurring in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and identify patients appropriate for targeted therapy by assessing the correlation between specific abnormalities and response to specific agents.
    • Evaluate the various oncogenic alterations identifiable in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase domain, and determine how they might predict potential response or lack thereof to EGFR-directed therapies.
    • Appreciate available Phase III findings supporting the efficacy of adjuvant osimertinib for EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC after complete resection, and identify patients appropriate for treatment with this recently FDA-approved strategy.
    • Evaluate available clinical trial findings supporting the FDA approval of amivantamab for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and an EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, and personalize management recommendations for individuals who might benefit from treatment with this novel compound.
    • Describe mechanisms of tumor resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and discern how available and investigational therapies can be optimally employed in the protocol and nonresearch care of patients with progressive disease with EGFR mutations.
    • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive ROS1 mutation test result to appropriate patients with NSCLC, appreciating available clinical research findings with approved and investigational agents demonstrating efficacy in these individuals.
    • Assess available research with approved RET inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and protocol opportunities for patients with newly diagnosed or progressive NSCLC harboring RET abnormalities.
    • Recognize emerging findings with investigational HER2-directed therapies for advanced NSCLC with HER2 overexpression or mutation, and appropriately refer patients for clinical trials.
    • Recall other oncogenic pathways (eg, ALK, MET, NTRK, BRAF) mediating the growth of tumors in unique subsets of patients, and consider published and emerging data with commercially available and experimental agents exploiting these targets.
