CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with lung cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appraise the scientific rationale for and mechanism of action of the DLL3-targeting bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs) used as therapy for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
    • Evaluate available research findings with DLL3-targeting BiTEs for relapsed/refractory SCLC, and counsel patients with this disease regarding the risks and benefits of this novel approach.
    • Understand the pathophysiology of cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicity associated with DLL3-targeting BiTEs employed in the care of patients with SCLC, and develop strategies to optimally identify and manage the symptoms of these side effects.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of other adverse events associated with DLL3-targeting BiTEs, and consider recommended approaches to prevent, ameliorate and manage these side effects.
    • Appreciate the practical administration requirements associated with DLL3-targeting BiTEs in order to appropriately educate eligible patients.
