Topics to Be Discussed

  • Current First-Line Treatment of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) without a Targetable Tumor Mutation
  • Targeted and Other Novel Therapeutic Strategies for Relapsed Metastatic NSCLC
  • Potential Role of TROP2-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugates for Advanced NSCLC
  • Evolving Role of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in the Care of Patients with Nonmetastatic NSCLC

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

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

  • Analyze the biological basis for the investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitors for localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant therapy.
  • Appraise available findings from clinical studies and real-world analyses documenting long-term outcomes with anti-PD-L1 antibody consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not experienced disease progression after standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy, and optimally integrate this treatment approach into patient care.
  • Consider recent therapeutic advances related to the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with other systemic therapies for metastatic NSCLC, and discern how these approaches can be applied in the management of this disease.
  • Appreciate the incidence of targetable cell surface proteins, such as HER2, in patients with progressive metastatic NSCLC, and recognize published clinical trial data with and the optimal implementation of novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
  • Evaluate the biological rationale for targeting TROP2 in patients with NSCLC, and consider available research evidence with and the potential clinical role of TROP2-directed ADCs.

A CME credit link will be given to each participant as part of the meeting course materials.
