Topics to Be Discussed

  • Published research data exploring the correlation between tumor location and response to specific therapeutic interventions for patients with mCRC
  • Key efficacy findings from the Phase III BEACON CRC trial comparing encorafenib/cetuximab with or without binimetinib to irinotecan/cetuximab or FOLFIRI/cetuximab for patients with mCRC and BRAF V600E mutations
  • Frequency and severity of toxicities observed with encorafenib/binimetinib/cetuximab in BEACON CRC; rates of treatment discontinuation due to tolerability issues
  • FDA approval of encorafenib/cetuximab for patients with mCRC and BRAF V600E mutations; optimal integration into practice
  • Recent data from the Phase II DESTINY-CRC01 study of trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with HER2-expressing mCRC
  • Ongoing investigation of other novel HER2-directed approaches (eg, lapatinib/trastuzumab, tucatinib/trastuzumab, T-DM1) for patients with mCRC
  • Optimal sequencing of regorafenib, TAS-102 and EGFR antibody therapy for patients with mCRC; use of clinical characteristics to inform this decision
  • Available data with and potential role of TAS-102 in combination with other systemic agents in mCRC or in earlier disease stages
  • Mechanism of action of and early efficacy findings with napabucasin for patients with mCRC; design, eligibility and estimated completion date of the Phase III CanStem303C study evaluating napabucasin in combination with FOLFIRI for previously treated mCRC
  • Published data supporting the FDA approvals of nivolumab, pembrolizumab and nivolumab/ipilimumab for patients with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC; patient selection for anti-PD-1 monotherapy versus combined anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 antibody therapy
  • Design, eligibility criteria and major efficacy and safety outcomes from Phase III studies (eg, KEYNOTE-062, KEYNOTE-181, ATTRACTION-3) evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in advanced gastroesophageal cancers
  • Results from the Phase III KEYNOTE-177 study of front-line pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy for MSI-H/dMMR mCRC; implications for clinical practice
  • Biologic rationale for the investigation of regorafenib in combination with nivolumab for patients with microsatellite-stable mCRC
  • Key efficacy and safety outcomes from the Phase Ib REGONIVO trial evaluating regorafenib/nivolumab for patients with mCRC or metastatic gastric cancer; development plans for this combination
  • Current role of immune checkpoint blockade for patients with metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal cancers
  • Integration of ramucirumab into current clinical algorithms for metastatic gastric/GEJ cancer
  • Major efficacy and safety outcomes from the Phase III TAGS study of TAS-102 for heavily pretreated metastatic gastric cancer
  • FDA approval of and patient selection for TAS-102 in metastatic gastric cancer
  • Key findings from the randomized Phase II DESTINY-Gastric01 study of trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma; FDA breakthrough therapy designation and potential clinical role

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers.

Learning Objectives

  • Develop a long-term care plan for individuals diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), considering the patient’s biomarker profile (BRAF, MSI, HER2), tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology, performance status and personal goals of treatment.
  • Appreciate published research data documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF/MEK/EGFR inhibition for patients with relapsed/refractory CRC and a BRAF-V600E mutation to optimally incorporate this therapeutic strategy into current clinical algorithms.
  • Use HER2 status, PD-L1 combined positive score, clinical factors and patient preferences to personalize the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal cancer.
  • Recall the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with previously treated HER2-positive CRC or gastric/gastroesophageal cancers, and discern the current and potential future clinical applicability of this treatment strategy.
  • Recall the FDA approvals of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) mCRC, and appropriately integrate these agents into current treatment algorithms.
  • Describe ongoing research to validate the potential benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy, targeted therapy or other immunotherapies for patients with MSI-H/dMMR and MSI-stable mCRC, and use this information to guide trial design and referral.
  • Devise a rational approach to the incorporation of TAS-102 into the treatment algorithms for previously treated locally advanced or mCRC or gastric/gastroesophageal cancers.
  • Recall new data with investigational agents demonstrating promising activity in gastrointestinal cancers, and use this information to refer appropriate patients for participation in ongoing trials.
