Track 13: Activity and tolerability of the next-generation ALK inhibitors
Track 14: Management of ALK inhibitor-resistant disease
Track 15: Case: A 47-year-old man and never smoker with newly diagnosed metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with a RET rearrangement and a high PD-L1 tumor proportion score
Track 16: Efficacy and tolerability of the highly selective RET inhibitor LOXO-292 for patients with cancers with RET alterations
Track 17: Case: A 51-year-old woman and never smoker with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with a MET amplification experiences a prolonged response to crizotinib
Track 18: Investigation of the tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors entrectinib and larotrectinib for adult and pediatric patients with cancers harboring a TRK fusion
Track 19: Case: A 74-year-old woman and never smoker with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC and a BRAF V600E tumor mutation receives dabrafenib/trametinib
Track 20: Choosing between first-line anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy and an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor in combination with chemotherapy for metastatic lung cancer
Track 21: Mechanism of action and efficacy of the antibody-drug conjugate rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T) in DLL3-expressing recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
Track 22: Role of ipilimumab/nivolumab as therapy for metastatic lung cancer
Track 23: Management of pulmonary toxicity in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors

Interview with Martin Reck, MD, PhD

Track 1: Efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with metastatic NSCLC
Track 2: Combination immunotherapy approaches under investigation for NSCLC
Track 3: Response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in patients with targetable tumor mutations
Track 4: PD-L1 expression and tumor mutation burden as predictors of response to checkpoint inhibitors
Track 5: Approach to the treatment of nonsquamous NSCLC in patients without a targetable tumor mutation
Track 6: Therapeutic options for patients with metastatic squamous cell NSCLC
Track 7: Results of the Phase III CheckMate 227 trial of nivolumab with ipilimumab as first-line therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC and a high tumor mutation burden
Track 8: PACIFIC trial: Efficacy and tolerability of durvalumab after chemoradiation therapy for unresectable Stage III NSCLC
Track 9: Perspectives on the potential synergy between durvalumab and chemoradiation therapy in the PACIFIC trial
Track 10: Integration of durvalumab into the therapeutic algorithm for NSCLC
Track 11: Case: A 69-year-old man with advanced mesothelioma receives pembrolizumab after disease progression on chemotherapy
Track 12: Activity and tolerability of pembrolizumab in patients with mesothelioma
Track 13: Case: A 63-year-old woman with metastatic NSCLC, polymyalgia rheumatica and temporal arteritis experiences a dramatic response to pembrolizumab
Track 14: Use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with preexisting autoimmune disease
Track 15: Case: A 61-year-old man with metastatic SCLC receives platinum-based chemotherapy followed by nivolumab/ipilimumab maintenance therapy on the CheckMate 451 trial
Track 16: Case: A 61-year-old woman with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC receives carboplatin/pemetrexed/pembrolizumab followed by maintenance pembrolizumab/pemetrexed on the KEYNOTE-189 trial
