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 oncogenic alterations, beyond those associated with EGFR, identifiable in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and determine how they might predict response to novel targeted therapies.
    • Appraise the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors, and determine how these agents can be integrated into the protocol and nonresearch care of patients with NSCLC with ALK rearrangements.
    • Consider the mechanism of action of, available data with and FDA approval of entrectinib for patients with NSCLC with ROS1 alterations, and discern how this agent can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical care.
    • Recall the FDA approvals of selpercatinib and pralsetinib for patients with RET-driven metastatic NSCLC, and evaluate how these agents should be appropriately and safely integrated into clinical practice.
    • Evaluate available clinical trial findings supporting the FDA approvals of capmatinib and tepotinib for metastatic NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping mutations, and identify patients who might benefit from these agents.
    • Appreciate the frequency of KRAS G12C mutations in patients with NSCLC, and evaluate the mechanism of action and potential role of novel therapies targeting this genetic alteration.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies under development for the management of NSCLC with actionable mutations beyond EGFR, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
