Virtual Meetings 2020

Meet The Professor: Management of Lung Cancer

For more information, please contact us at Meetings@ResearchToPractice.com or (800) 233-6153.

Each 1-hour session will include 4 topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for lung cancer. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • • Discussion of Steering Committee Members’ Treatment Recommendations
  • • Review of Available Clinical Research Findings
  • • Integration of Interactive Audience Polling Results
MODULE 1 Management of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR Tumor Mutation MODULE 2 Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Antibodies Alone or in Combinations for Metastatic NSCLC MODULE 3 First-Line Treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer MODULE 4 Checkpoint Inhibition in the Management of Locally Advanced NSCLC

Commercial Support
These activities are supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP.

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

Learning Objectives

  • Appreciate available clinical trial findings supporting the use of osimertinib as first-line therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR tumor mutation, including those with CNS metastases, and consider the effect of this information on current and future clinical practice.
  • Review published research data documenting the safety and efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in combination with VEGFR-targeted therapy for metastatic NSCLC with an EGFR tumor mutation, and discern the potential ramifications of this information for practice and future clinical trial design.
  • Appraise the FDA approval of 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 appropriately and safely integrate this strategy into clinical practice.
  • Appraise published research data and current guideline recommendations informing the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and discern how these agents can be optimally employed in clinical practice.
  • Appreciate available Phase III data investigating the role of durvalumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for newly diagnosed extensive-stage SCLC, and use this information to identify patients who may be appropriate for treatment with this novel approach.
  • Recognize recent FDA approvals and other therapeutic advances related to 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 available and emerging research data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibody combinations with or without chemotherapy as first-line treatment for NSCLC, and consider the potential roles of these regimens.
