Current and Emerging Paradigm for the Treatment of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) — David R Spigel, MD

  • Designs, eligibility criteria and key efficacy and safety findings from the pivotal Phase III IMpower133 and CASPIAN trials evaluating atezolizumab or durvalumab, respectively, in combination with chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated extensive-stage SCLC
  • FDA approvals of first-line carboplatin/etoposide/atezolizumab and platinum/etoposide/durvalumab and appropriate integration into current extensive-stage SCLC management
  • Available clinical trial data with and current clinical role of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for progressive SCLC
  • Mechanism of action of lurbinectedin; design, eligibility criteria and major efficacy and safety findings of the Phase II basket trial assessing lurbinectedin for patients with SCLC that has progressed after prior platinum-based therapy; recent FDA approval and integration into the treatment algorithm
  • Other novel agents and strategies under investigation for patients with extensive- and limited-stage SCLC

Role of Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in the Management of Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) — Stephen V Liu, MD, PhD

  • Design of, eligibility criteria for and key efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III PACIFIC trial evaluating the use of consolidation durvalumab after chemoradiation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC
  • Role of durvalumab consolidation in patients with locally advanced NSCLC and low PD-L1 expression or targetable genomic alterations
  • Rates of Grade 3 and 4 adverse events, including pneumonitis and other immune-mediated events, and treatment discontinuation among patients receiving durvalumab in the PACIFIC study
  • Available results from the Phase II KEYNOTE-799 trial evaluating pembrolizumab in combination with concurrent chemoradiation therapy in untreated patients with unresectable, locally advanced NSCLC
  • Ongoing and planned clinical trial strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors in nonmetastatic NSCLC

Long-Term Management of Metastatic NSCLC without a Targetable Tumor Mutation — Edward B Garon, MD, MS

  • Clinical trial database supporting the FDA approvals of up-front anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab) and combined chemotherapy/immune checkpoint inhibition (pembrolizumab/chemotherapy, atezolizumab/chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab) in metastatic NSCLC; role of PD-L1 expression and TMB in therapeutic decision-making
  • Phase III clinical trial results (CheckMate 227, CheckMate 9LA) leading to the recent FDA approvals of first-line nivolumab/ipilimumab with and without chemotherapy in metastatic NSCLC; optimal integration into routine practice
  • Design, eligibility criteria and emerging safety and efficacy data from the Phase III POSEIDON trial evaluating durvalumab or durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC
  • Mechanism of action of tiragolumab and biologic rationale for combining it with anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy; results from the Phase II CITYSCAPE trial evaluating tiragolumab with atezolizumab as first-line therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC
  • Management of disease that has progressed on anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based therapy in the first-line setting; current role of approved agents and regimens (ramucirumab, afatinib, bevacizumab, et cetera)

Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.

Learning Objectives

  • Use available clinical trial findings and evidence-based guidelines to inform the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
  • Assess clinical trial data leading to the recent FDA approval of lurbinectedin for patients with metastatic SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, and identify individuals for whom treatment with this novel agent may be appropriate.
  • Appraise the FDA approval of anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and discern how this strategy can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical practice.
  • Formulate treatment strategies to appropriately incorporate the use of anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or chemobiologic therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC.
  • Evaluate the benefits and risks of anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibody combinations with or without chemotherapy as first-line treatment for NSCLC, and determine which patients may be most appropriate for this treatment approach.
  • Develop management strategies for NSCLC that relapses after initial treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy, considering guideline recommendations for appropriate therapeutic options.
