Released April 2021

Featuring perspectives from Drs Joel W Neal and Paul K Paik. (Audio Program)

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 identifiable in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase domain, and determine how these may predict response or lack thereof to EGFR-directed therapies.
    • Appreciate recently presented Phase III research supporting the efficacy of adjuvant osimertinib for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations after complete resection, and consider the potential effect of this information on clinical practice.
    • Communicate the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors to appropriate patients with NSCLC.
    • Convey the clinical relevance of a positive ROS1 mutation test result to appropriate patients with NSCLC, and appreciate available clinical research with approved and investigational agents demonstrating efficacy in such cases.
    • Assess available research with approved and emerging RET inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and protocol opportunities for patients with newly diagnosed or progressive NSCLC harboring one of these abnormalities.
    • Evaluate available clinical trial findings supporting the FDA approval of capmatinib and tepotinib for patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have a mutation that leads to MET exon 14 skipping, and identify individuals who might benefit from treatment with these agents.
    • Recall other oncogenic pathways (eg, HER2, NTRK, KRAS) mediating the growth of tumors in unique patient subsets, and consider published and emerging data with commercially available and experimental agents exploiting these targets.
