MODULE 1: Optimal Tumor Testing Algorithms; Management of Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR Activating Mutations

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Incidence of lung cancer driver mutations and indications for mutational analysis
  • Types of EGFR mutations and implications for first- and later-line treatment
  • Comparative toxicities of the approved EGFR TKIs
  • Relevance of T790M resistance mutations; use of plasma and urine mutation testing
  • FDA approval of osimertinib and integration into nonprotocol treatment algorithms; available research data with and ongoing evaluation as first-line therapy
  • Toxicity profile of osimertinib compared to first-generation EGFR TKIs
  • Sequencing immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with metastatic NSCLC and tumor mutations

MODULE 2: Existing and Emerging Therapeutic Options for Patients with ALK- and ROS1-Positive Disease

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Efficacy of crizotinib in patients with ALK and ROS1 rearrangements; unique associated toxicities
  • Available and emerging Phase III data with alectinib and ceritinib as first-line therapy for patients with ALK-positive disease
  • Tolerability issues and dosing considerations with next-generation ALK inhibitors
  • Variable CNS permeability with approved and investigational ALK inhibitors and implications for patients with ALK-positive brain metastases

MODULE 3: Other Potentially Targetable Tumor Mutations (BRAF V600E, HER2, RET, et cetera)

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Current role of BRAF inhibitor therapy, with or without a MEK inhibitor, for BRAF V600E mutation-positive NSCLC
  • Tolerability profile of combined BRAF/MEK inhibition
  • Incidence of HER2 mutations and available data with HER2-targeted agents in NSCLC
  • Preliminary efficacy and safety data with investigational targeted agents for RET-rearranged NSCLC
  • Clinical significance of MET exon 14 skipping mutations and current role of crizotinib

MODULE 4: Clinical Approach to Patients with Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Lung without a Targetable Mutation

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) as a predictor of response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy
  • Role of pembrolizumab as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC and a PD-L1 TPS of 50% or greater
  • Initial systemic treatment of metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC and a TPS of less than 50%: Choice of chemotherapy regimen and role of bevacizumab
  • Rationale for and available clinical trial data supporting anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as second-line therapy for NSCLC
  • Incidence and management of immune-related adverse events associated with checkpoint inhibitor therapy
  • Available data with and potential role of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy
  • Ongoing trials of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with other immunotherapeutic or systemic approaches
  • Rational integration of ramucirumab into the management of nonsquamous NSCLC

MODULE 5: Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

DISCUSSION TOPICS

  • Impact of histologic subtype (squamous versus nonsquamous) on the efficacy of pembrolizumab in newly diagnosed PD-L1-positive NSCLC
  • First-line treatment of metastatic squamous cell NSCLC with a PD-L1 TPS of less than 50%: Available data with and current clinical role of nab paclitaxel
  • Available research data with and patient selection for treatment with necitumumab
  • Second-line treatment options for metastatic squamous cell NSCLC; consideration of prior treatment, symptomatology, et cetera

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 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Learning Objectives and Goals:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Communicate the clinical relevance of tumor histology and commonly identified genetic abnormalities to patients with NSCLC.
  • Discuss the benefits and risks associated with systemic treatments used in the evidence-based treatment of metastatic NSCLC, including chemotherapeutic agents, targeted biologic therapies and novel immunotherapies.
  • Educate patients about potential side effects associated with existing and recently approved therapies, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
  • Assess research on the benefits of early palliative care for patients with metastatic NSCLC, and integrate this information, where appropriate, into patient consultations.
  • Recall the scientific rationale for ongoing investigation of novel agents and therapeutic approaches in NSCLC, and counsel appropriately selected patients about study participation.

Accreditation Statements:
Research To Practice is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
