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

    • Review recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, chemobiologic therapy or other immunotherapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and consider the clinical and biologic factors affecting the recommendation of one approach versus the others.
    • Review available Phase III research data documenting the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with tremelimumab and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for NSCLC, in preparation for the potential availability of this novel regimen.
    • Evaluate the current scientific understanding of mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibition in patients with NSCLC, and consider the implications for biomarker assessment and disease management.
    • Recall ongoing clinical trials and emerging data with promising novel agents and strategies in clinical development for patients with primary or acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibition.
