Contemporary Management of EGFR Mutation-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) — Suresh S Ramalingam, MD

  • Design, eligibility criteria and key efficacy and safety findings of the Phase III ADAURA trial evaluating adjuvant osimertinib versus placebo for early-stage NSCLC with an EGFR mutation after complete tumor resection
  • Available efficacy and safety data with osimertinib as first-line therapy for patients with EGFR tumor mutations; documentation of an overall survival benefit with osimertinib as first-line therapy
  • Biologic rationale for the design of clinical trials combining EGFR- and VEGFR-targeted therapy; key findings from the Phase III RELAY study leading to the FDA approval of erlotinib in combination with ramucirumab for patients with previously untreated metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations; ramifications for practice and future clinical trial design
  • Impact of prior use of immune checkpoint inhibitors on the efficacy and tolerability of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy
  • Optimal treatment of NSCLC that progresses on first-line osimertinib; spectrum of resistance mutations and role of rebiopsy

Optimal Therapeutic Approaches for Patients with ALK or ROS1 Rearrangements — Prof Solange Peters, MD, PhD

  • Available clinical trial data informing the selection of first and later-line therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC and an ALK rearrangement
  • FDA approval of brigatinib for patients with NSCLC with an ALK rearrangement who have not previously received targeted therapy; appropriate integration into clinical practice
  • Current and emerging treatment considerations for patients with NSCLC with ROS1 rearrangement; clinical trial data supporting the recent approval of entrectinib
  • Intracranial response rates observed with entrectinib in patients with NSCLC with a ROS1 rearrangement and CNS involvement; implications for care

Research Advances Shaping the Current and Future Treatment of Lung Cancer with Other Targetable Abnormalities — Alexander E Drilon, MD

  • Published data supporting the FDA approval of selpercatinib for patients with RET fusion-driven NSCLC
  • Mechanism of action of, available data with and potential clinical role of pralsetinib for patients with NSCLC and RET fusions
  • FDA approval and current clinical role of capmatinib for patients with NSCLC with MET exon 14 mutations
  • Key efficacy and safety findings with and FDA breakthrough therapy designation for tepotinib for patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutations whose disease has progressed after platinum-based therapy
  • Available clinical trial data informing the FDA approvals of larotrectinib and entrectinib for patients with solid tumors harboring NTRK gene fusions
  • Published research with commercially available HER2-directed therapies for patients with NSCLC with HER2 overexpression or mutation
  • Emerging safety and efficacy data with the novel KRAS G12C inhibitor AMG 510 for solid tumors with KRAS mutation

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

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings supporting the use of osimertinib as first-line therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations, and consider the effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
  • Recall the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of VEGF monoclonal antibodies in combination with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with NSCLC with EGFR mutations, and discern the current clinical applicability of this treatment strategy.
  • Appreciate recently presented Phase III trial findings supporting the efficacy of adjuvant osimertinib for patients with NSCLC with EGFR mutations after complete resection, and consider the potential effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
  • Communicate the efficacy and safety of approved and investigational ALK inhibitors to appropriate patients with NSCLC in order to personalize therapeutic recommendations.
  • Discuss the clinical relevance of a positive ROS1 mutation test result with appropriate patients with NSCLC, and optimally sequence available therapies for those with these genetic abnormalities.
  • Assess available research evidence with approved and emerging RET inhibitors, and use this information to guide clinical care and protocol decisions for patients with newly diagnosed or progressive NSCLC harboring a RET fusion.
  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings supporting the role of approved and investigational MET inhibitors, and identify patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutations who might benefit from treatment with these novel compounds.
  • Recall the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of commercially available HER2-directed therapies for patients with NSCLC with HER2 overexpression or mutation, and discern the current and potential clinical applicability of this strategy.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel targeted strategies in patients with NSCLC and various genomic alterations, and counsel appropriate individuals about availability and participation.
