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 these may predict potential 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 entrectinib, available data and the FDA approval of that agent for patients with NSCLC with ROS1 alterations, and discern how it can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical care.
    • Assess 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.
    • 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.
    • Recollect other oncogenic pathways (ie, HER2, KRAS) mediating the pathogenesis of tumors in unique patient subsets, and recall published and emerging data with commercially available and experimental agents exploiting these targets.
    • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with novel targeted agents employed in the treatment of NSCLC, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies for patients with NSCLC harboring actionable mutations beyond EGFR, and offer counsel about the potential benefits of trial participation.
